We recently purchase “Little Blue” and then realized that we need a different vehicle because life is changing on our end. We are sad to this van go, it is in impeccable shape and the perfect adventure vehicle. We currently sleep 5 with hanging bunks but those are removable as needed. The passenger seats can move forward and backward or removed as you desire. We currently have it installed with all three passanger seats because we have two kids and a baby. One of the bench seats has the clips for a infant baby seat.
Other things to note:
- oil changes done on time (along with tire rotation), full synthetic, 1 owner
- Professionally installed Passenger seats, extra seatings, side windows, and max air fan.
