Interesting report Don. And good to know how tall you are. I wondered
about camperizing a Safari/Astro

If future Fridays permit, will be curious to see a report of the fuel
efficiency you see.

And I'm on the same page re: "conveniences". For some, power stuff is
very useful. Personally I really like that I can lower all 4 windows
on my Honda while walking up to it. But i don't really need power
windows. As you know, all those whirring bits are just more stuff to
trouble shoot and fix down the road!     ;)
