13 feet? My Probe was 18' including the 40" boat tail and I drove it on unmaintained dirt logging roads in Michigan's upper peninsula. It was the ground clearance that was the problem- even the overhangs weren't an issue.

With that van you could do a million things to get a couple MPG or you could build a 5' boat tail and be happy. You could even turn the tail into a storage compartment for extra cargo. Use the trailer hitch to help support the thing.
