    And the cool 4x4 model, not sure if these are factory or dropped on a 4x4 chassis.

    It seems like a lot of vessel for such a small engine. Most I've seen still have the original 22re. If you live where it's flat it shouldn't be a problem though.

    I am thinking about getting one too. Going to go with a 3.0 powered one and do a 3.4 swap and solid axle swap.

    88+ came stock with the full float 1 ton axles, the earlier ones were supposed to come in to be retro fitted to the full float, but many owners didnt.

    Escapes, gulfstreams have alum frame so wood rot is likely not stuctual.

    Most year Odysseys have a 6'3" ceiling.

    Sunraders are all fiberglass, but are smaller and can have sagging roofs due to AC units.

    You have done some research, I did not know about the different structures. I guess that has alot to do with the resale values.
