Not a Van "Lifer" but weekend getawayer. I have a Promaster/Winnie Solis 59PX. The van is Not an off-roader by any stretch but does fine in the Jersey Pine Barrens. I have 40 years of off pavement driving experience. I carry a shovel, Go-Treads & a kinetic rope. Only needed the GT's one time.

This bad boy was longer than the skiff, seconds after I took the pix he launched off the bank and landed right in front of us. It was like a telephone pole hitting the water.
