    Very True, that is why I plan on putting window doors on the passenger side of the van.

    Well I almost got a chance to use my spare side doors last night..!!!..On the way to a "Car Show" I was behind someone doing about 40 on a 55 mph highway in the left lane so after a mile or so I turned on my directional and I decided to go around him so did the A$$ behind me AT the same time and even with my west coast mirrors he was in a blind spot thank GOD for my wife seeing him because I sure didn't..!!!.. Panel Vans look cool but you have to pay attention constantly it all happened in about 3 seconds.. Smile .
