Better mileage was number one reason. With this sienna we have gotten 28 mpg hiway not towing and towing was 17-18 mpg beats the 13mpg of the suburban either way even with wind at our backs. Plus we might be buying some property in another state and possibly sell the TM. Wife is getting out of the mood to camp these days.

Your TM looks great. Must be nice to live in a dry Area.

Thanks, the heat does have some negative effects though, decals don't last at all out here. even when under the cover ...heat destroys
