I can't answer your questions, but just wanted to suggest a Roadtrek 170, but I'm assuming you want a new vehicle. Also just thought I'd mention I've owned Dodge Grand Caravans for about 15 years and have camped in them at dog shows. That was the reason I got a minivan, as I had been camping in a tent at some dog shows for a couple of years. I was either at county fairgrounds or beagle club grounds where they had restroom and shower facilities, so I didn't have to worry about that. I took the back seats out of the van, had a wood platform going down the driver side of the van that held the dog crates. Exercise pens, sleeping bag and other gear stored on or under the platform. I slept on the passenger side of the van on top of a camping air mattress. I carried a space heater and a 75 foot extension cord. The space heater sat on top of the cup holders attached to the dash with the cord running out a front window. Food was kept in a cooler that I placed outside the van for the night. I did that for 6 years before finally getting a Class B. I really enjoyed getting the Class B so I could stand up to get dressed and had a fridge for the food! LOL
