Actually, swapping out the Suburban with an AWD Astro or Safari might not be a bad idea. You'd have tons of interior room, with a more compact package. They aren't all that frugal, but I was routinely getting 23-24mpg out of a 200,000 mile, 2wd Safari well before I knew of hypermiling. The AWD vans can hold their own out in the wild too.

That would be good, I do have an electric fan just haven't installed it yet. I usually collect everything then do it at once cause I hate dragging projects out!
The safari with the v6 would definitely be better on gas, but I am going to need all the off-road capability I can get! The whoops at Barstow and the hot tubs in Moab are insane lol.
If I can get mine to be able to be about like this pic, (it's on bigger tires than I will be) but 2" lower on the highway and 1" higher in the dirt. I think that would be sufficient. I certainly don't want to be a redneck riding high on 44's and a 12 inch lift.
