Granted, we are driving a Transit Cargo van that I converted to our needs; but I can add that having a "small and nimble" vehicle can be good. Today, coming home from a 10-day drive through the SW USA (where we could go anywhere, park anywhere, etc) on I-80, a car in the left lane suddenly veered into our lane. There were concrete barriers to our right - no shoulder. Hubby hit the brakes and swerved as close as possible to the barrier and the car missed us by a hairs-breadth. Had we still been in our Class C or with our 5er, there WOULD have been an accident.
