I wasn't going to share this here because it's not unusual and certainly nothing like a van but I recently bought a new toy, a 2016 JKU Rubicon

I've wanted to get in a modern Jeep for awhile and there is a reason there are so many out there. Super comfortable and capable right out of the box. The Rubi (most probably know this) has front and rear lockers as well as a sway bar disconnect and the thing will climb a d*mn tree. Mine has half worn stock rubber (BFG M/T's) and will go anywhere.
So, moving on, I was planning on building an adventure/offroad teardrop type of trailer when this fell in my lap:

It's an Ursa Minor J30 pop top/hard top with a 48"x80" bed up top. You can access the bed from hatches inside or like an RTT from outside with a ladder:

It's nowhere near as roomy as an SMB but it does get upper teens in gas mileage and I'm planning on building it out as a micro camper/overlander of sorts. To anyone interested be looking for a thread on Expo soon in the Jeep section.
