Yes, that is our van, and yes, it will temporarily leave us without a way to get out.

But if you have looked at this thread you will see that we have a plan to solve that problem.

Joel, I am curious about rear entry vs side entry and what are the advantages of each type.

There is a huge debate on what is better.

I like the rear entry because you can park anywhere and still get out of the vehicle. Even handicapped parking spots are not big enough, usually, to get out of a side entry. I also like the rear entry because there are 4 comfortable captains chairs that passengers can use. With side entry you loose this.

Side entry is nice because you are closer to the front of the vehicle but passengers are then at the back.

I also like the rear entry because I am always cold and there are separate heater controls in the back so I can set my heat differently than the front. There is separate heater and air conditioning in the back.

There is also brand new Michellin winter tires for it.
