MODERATORS
I have a 2008 Dodge Sprinter. I take two parking spaces (pull through, not straddling,) every time I go to the hardware store or a protest. Only real use I have for the thing is hauling shit. Mine is 24' 1". I actually scout for a good parking lot nearby if I'm going to use the thing, as it absolutely will not fit into a single space. I also have an E-bike and a Chevy Bolt for running errands, or picking up people/groceries respectively.
There are definitely exceptions like your van, but overall vans just aren't that long. Most people who want something that big just end up getting a bread truck. Now those you have trouble parking, so I can see why you got the van.
