We've been through this before guys.

Those vans don't resemble your/my vans at all.

They are essentially 'new' - they have been taken completely apart and put
back together with many new pieces.

Price a new motor, rebuilt transaxle, COMPLETELY new suspension, windows-out
paint job, etcetera and they begin to look like very fair prices indeed for
campers that won't need anything but fluid changes for quite a long time.

YMMV
