I too had a 1991 Caravan, mine too lost its paint. I bought it used and owned it from 1993 until 2000 and by the time I sold it the van had 251K on it. It was not nearly as good as the 1998 and 2005 Caravans I’ve owned, I was constantly having to do mechanical repairs to it, but I also took my two kids on a lot of outdoor adventures in the thing. My late wife’s idea of camping was staying at a Super 8. However, my adventures with the kids gave her much needed time to herself. I took out the rear seats and put in a 1’ high by 4’X6’ floored area in the back (I’m doing the same with my current Caravan). We’d stow our gear underneath and the kids would play in the back while we traveled (no seat belts back there, but somehow we survived). At night we’d usually sleep in a tent, but if the weather was real bad we’d crowd into the Caravan and sleep in it. As crappy as it was, that 1991 Caravan made great memories my adult kids still talk about. Like all my Caravans it got around 26mpg highway.
