Did you take a caravan? How is it for luggage? Thanks

Now there's a story 😀
We took a caravan with 4ad and 1ch plus 4large cases in the trunk and 1small in the cabin. Problem came with legroom in the front for a 6'4" passenger. Im sure the legroom is less than it used to be.
So next day, rang up and was told to bring it back and we swapped for a Pacifica on N Carolina plates with 20k on the clock. Very nice car to drive: until yesterday when the engine management light came on. Took it back to MCO where they tried to fob me off with a caravan again. Explained the legroom situation, so a Pacifica was found. This time on Georgia plates with 10k on the clock.
This one didn't get out of the garage as a breaks/indicator light was blown.
So a final Pacifica was found. This time it was the 8seater model with the extra 2nd row seat (which was quickly removed at the villa) on Florida plates and 4k on the clock. Not all the bells and whistles of the 1st one, but still (in my opinion) the best of the minivans.
Ps. Sorry for the long post 😀
