We have a kluger and have a 16.49.1 expanda. We love the van and as its our first van (we are a young family also) we like thats its smallish to tow but very roomy inside when expanded. We wanted a van that on rainy days we could all fit in with ease to play board games etc. only downside for us is the canvas on bed ends do get wet and we may look at waterproof screens. As to the kluger we bought the car for the purpose of towing a van. After a couple of short trips it became apparent that whilst the kluger towed on flat highways ok , it sure struggled getting up hills, especially when fully loaded. Definately needed a wdh. But even so we were not really happy with the kluger as a tow vehicle. So we have purchased another vehicle to tow with. (although have kept kluger as we love it as an everyday family car) . With the kluger only able to tow 2t, it can make things difficult when you have a family to pack for as well. We felt we were pushing kluger to its limit.
