I have a 2016 DGC American Value Package, the lowest-spec model. I like not having a console between the front seats, so I can go from front to back, and the reverse, without getting out of the van. I also like not having the ceiling storage/DVD piece, for more headroom. What I don't like about the AVP is that it doesn't have opening sliding door windows or a built-in roof rack. I've seen 30+ mpg on many tanks of gas when I was cruising all day at 65. Getting rid of the 2nd row seats and the larger one in the 3rd row saved about 200 lbs., so even with the bed, camping electrical system, food, water, etc. the weight is the same as the original factory setup with a 200 lb. passenger.

I live in your Cousin, The Chrysler Pacifica. I absolutely love it. I'm 5'8" also and disabled. My bed was the most important thing to me. I found a narrow twin frame 30×72×14. It's perfect. I can still keep the small 3rd row seat up for sitting. I need a place to sit without being hunched over. But, I wanted my bed on the other side so I can enter on the drivers side but I did Not want to lose the seat. And I was Not going to sacrifice the width of my great bed! I found a kids gaming chair that is the perfect size and looks almost like the manufacturer chair! I wonder if I can put my sliding doors in manual mode also. I'd love to keep one open without killing the battery. Thanks for sharing this. Good stuff 👍✌️❤️ ~ 🦋

I have a 2016 Grand Caravan, converted for camping. LOVE LOVE LOVE mine, too! Gas mileage in eco mode is almost 29 miles to the gallon, with no change if I run the AC, or fully loaded with gear. Flex fuel also saves me about 20 cents per gallon, and I get about 450 miles per tankful. Not the best mileage in the city (18mpg ), but I live in a rural area, so that's not a problem. And yes...plenty of head space! I have a platform bed, in mine, along with a 45 qt yeti cooler and a small Rubbermaid chest of drawers for cooking stuff, and a delta 1300 for power. I have the luggage rack but would like to purchase a carrier for outdoor chairs, grill, etc...Truly cozy van, especially for solo travel!

I have this same van(2015). I am 6' 9" and did a test road trip last summer and sleep in the back overnight. Had a TON of room. Really surprised me how much room there was. Wasn't comfortable sleeping, but only because I didn't have a bed setup. Next time I'll have a mattress or something more comfortable. But as far as room, there is a ton, even for me at my height.

This was a great video. Thanks for sharing about the automatic door switch and the interior lighting switch. Recently got a 2019 that is very similar to yours but does not have the DVD/ entertainment installed in the roof console. I like that the seats fold all the way into the floor. I was contemplating taking some of them all the way out for storage space or leaving them in...... I will leave them in for a while thanks to your mentioning it in this video for both ways. 🤗

I converted my 2012 Chrysler Town and Country into a camper several years ago. I have traveled several thousands of miles, camping, in it and love it. I bought it with 31,000 miles on it. I have the entertainment and storage compartment in the ceiling but it really gets in the way at times. I have 190,000 on it and my only wish is that I could get another one just like it new. Being a widow 83 years old this will no doubt be my last camper. It has been a great ride!!!

Little trick for the sliding doors. While they're moving on their own, if you pull the handle as if to open them, the motor will disengage and the door will stop moving. Once you fully close or open them, they will go back to automatic.

@@AdventuringWithAmandaErm... ok, but since you had commented (@4:27) that "they don't make the Grand Caravan anymore", I simply responded that the parent company, Stellantis, does, in fact, still make the van, they are just marketing it 😢under their Chrysler nameplate now. So while it's not called a "Dodge" anymore, the van is still available as a continuing model. I was only pointing out that your comment was somewhat misleading, so whether you now "want" one or not is irrelevant, (and a little odd, considering how you go on and on about "great" and "wonderful" these vans are).

One thing they don’t tell you is you have to take the engine apart to do the spark plug so it’s about 300 bucks if you have an honest good mechanic or $600-$1000 from a dealer Another thing I bought mine used 2014 with 121,000 on it. I have a transmission serviced at my reputable mechanic and he said it’s never been SERVICE. before and then I’ll probably go out in the year by the way I’m getting from 19 miles per gallon down to 12 miles per gallon but it’s summer it’s hot I leave it running and I have a roof rack but other than that I really like it. I like the stow go seats I live in it I have my dog.

Search KZfaq and you can find a video about retrieving credit cards that slid into the center council.

Great video! Which model is this? I have a 2017 grand caravan SE, with no bells or whistles whatsoever.

Hi! Could you share the link for the phone mount and also let us know about the turtle top storage you have at the top? I’ve been trying to find one that’s compatible with my 2019 DGC but I’ve had no luck 😢

I don't have a link for either. I got my rooftop box from someone selling it locally.
