Dusty hostile enviornments are exactly what Vans are supposed to be used
for.  Seriously, if you can't take a Vanagon to some 'so-called"
non-mainstream gathering in the desert, what can you take?...Range Rover?
Humvee?  Jeep Grand vitarra?
  If you only drive on freeways because you don't want to 'hurt" it...dunno
bout that.
  I've seen Ferraris driving around in Baja, people camping out of fancy
BMWs, Euro's traveling in $100k Mercedes 'Dakar' style trucks around the
Southwest.....Taking a van outback in Nevada isn't gonna bust the
bank...Just hose it out after and change the filters, etc.
