Yes, 

        a quiet way out and back is very helpful! 

Sometimes using the  rear hatch tent from Bus Depot at night I could gou out the back and return quietly.  I have a friend that would go out the passenger door as it was quieter. 

I’ve thought about setting up the rear hatch release but I’d need a handle to keep it from flying up and to help ease it back.  
Does the 91 come with a rear hatch set up like that?

I think electric slider wins.
