The Van (Huevo) 1993 Toyota Previa Mini Van


This is my 1993 Toyota Previa. I did a lot of research before deciding on the Previa.
I wanted to have a van that I could travel with across the country or just to the local lake campground for a weekend getaway. The Previa fits all my needs. These 20 year old vans were ahead of there time and over engineered. Four wheel disc brakes standard, Mid engine design rear wheel drive. 4 cylinder engine.
19 city MPG 22-24 highway MPG I wanted good gas mileage with the price of gas these days.

There is other makes and models of vans that are also perfect for conversion to live in and travel.
This happens to be my choice and I was very lucky to find it on Craigslist for sale from the Orignal owner. A older lady that could no longer drive it. That's what her son said.
