My choice for the 'road trip' has (for the last 30 years ) , been the 65 Dodge A-100 van! you can outfit it any way you want, and with proper gearing, get 27 MPG. The one I have now does nowhere near that, but it will pull a sled better than most 4X4 p\u's! (tractor pull lingo). It has a Chrysler 413 and a hemi clutch pac 727, Usually, I have a 318 and 3 speed, w 2:73 gears, and 15 in tires. The vanagon will cost MANY $$$$ and the Dodges can be had for the TOW. But you have to 'clean them up a tad".
I will never be without an A-100 till I forget what a toilet is for!!
