I used to drive my van all the time a few years agohad 4 wheel drive
huge pain to work on because the motor is all up in there and there was very little room around the front differential
and it didn't really have enough room for stuff
got unreasonably dirty in there because everything I stuffed in the back starts bouncing around and dust and dirt is everywhere
has a metal gate behind the seat but it don't stop all the shit from flying around and settling in piles
always had wasps in there in the summer even if I drove it everyday they still would get in there
at that time I only had one flatbed truck and the van
stopped driving the van as soon as I got a second truck. 8 foot bed and a trailer is bigger and a lot better than van

Yikes, what climate were you in? Mine is a rwd model, and there's a decent amount of space under the doghouse, I haven't had to do anything major yet, I'm sure it's going to be a learning experience

I'll have plenty of time to chill in my van down the river, when I'm chilling in my van down by the river!

so negative 25 degrees winter
fairly normal to get a 40 MPH wind gust
this winter about 50 miles south had winds at 100 mile an hour took off some roofs n sheit
not even snowing but still get blizzard visibility warnings from blowing snow
the 4 wheel drive van was great for winter driving
when driving 2 wheel drive truck It is a real possibility that it wont make it up a hill and I have had to back down hills before
you could get into a big problem if you are like going down and up a dip instead of just up a hill because you cant make it up and then you cant make it backing up. get the speed up to at least 40 mph and hope for the best. I have never got stuck in a dip
then it all melts and turns into springtime mud
that van wasn't the best vehicle and they stopped making that model over 20 years ago
I work machinery repair and its a hell of a challenge to change the spark plugs. struggling to get your hand in there with just the right length extension and get it under the exhaust manifold and into the hole at the right angle while bending over the front of your van like a $40 street whore
back doghouse cover don't open up very big . mostly good enough to get the distributor not really good for anything else
it would be a huge struggle to do anything with the valve covers off or get the heads off
