It do find it strange on why we feel the need to comment on what makes others happy. I have 3 vanagons which I use and enjoy when I can, I have a 4runner, a jeep, a hideous 90's camaro convertible, a conversion van, a mid 70s European Capri. They all make ME happy (luckily the wife as well). We own 2 men hiking tent and a full blown 8 person frame tent, a trailer several roof racks, baskets and top box and yes a genny. We take whatever vehicle we want (and think is going to make it) and we take stuff, most stuff never sees the light of day.
