[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 717934, member: 1641"] I just bought a van for this purpose. Grew up with vans in my family and missed their versatility. I'm done with diesels... had them all, bulletproofed them all, spent tons of money repairing them all. Wanted dry camping, and decent towing but multi - passenger, (son started college this year, playing football at James Madison university -4 hours away - lots of games to go to with tailgating) . And of course towing the Comanche on wheeling weekends. Van fits the bill. Writing it off under Cutler Fab. 2016 3500 Chevy Express Extended. 6.0, 6l80, baby 14 bolt, 12 passenger, air bags all around, 110 a.c. outlet, front/ rear air, back up camera, 5800 curb weight, 9600 gvwr, 16,000 gcwr. Don't like the new euro style vans; ford is a unibody with piss poor gvwr, and biggest gas engine is a puny v6- didn't even look at the dodge, Nissan, or Mercedes. Chevy has the only cab on frame traditional van with a gas v8. AND it doesn't have the extra cabin just tacked on there end of the standard cabin. The Chevy extended version, is actually a longer wheelbase at 155". Got it around $20g with 35k miles and remainder of factory warranty (5y/60k), previously a rental. Got 18 mpg driving up to the university last weekend with 5 passengers. Uphill both ways... Pop all the seats out, plenty of room for activities, throw down couple sleeping bags, couple mesh window screens add a roof rack and an ARB awning with screen room.
