RC11

A full size passenger van is great except for mpg (13-18). I've had a couple of Ford E150's that easily haul 3+ 2m planes, 4 people, and all the stuff you can imagine. Low / short enough to fit most garages (need to retract a mirror for single door garage). The 35 gal. tank will cause shock on a fill-up.

The mini-van is a reasonable compromise (Odyssey / Caravan) that will haul two 2m planes and 2 people, or 1 plane and 3 people with stuff. At 20-28mpg they're a lot friendlier at the gas pump.
