Time for  a survey?
How many motor mounts have y'all gone through and under what  general
conditions/locations and on which vans? (Go out and check the ones  yer
runnin' now to see if they're bad before you answer.) Have you pro  mechanics
observed the same tendency as my local guy has, or  no?

Not that common up here but I do always have a set  in stock though so they
are an item that I warrant keeping here which means they  do get used up on a
regular basis.  Just put a set in with the newly  rebuilt engine that went into
my '90 CARAT.  The originals were starting to  separate after 200,000 miles
and 15 years.
