If you're going to adopt a rescue do so now before you move in to the van full time.
Most rescues won't allow us to adopt once we're on the road because we can't pass the 'fenced yard' and home visit criteria.
Just about any dog is suitable for full time van dwelling. Most any of them love car rides, camping and the outdoors. It's the owners that have to make all kinds of adjustments. Like shopping late at night when it's cool enough outside to leave the dog in the van, stopping regularly for potty breaks, carrying supplies for the animal etc. etc.

I'm already full timing out of my camper, fortunately it doesn't get over 80 and my dog never has a problem alone. I just want to get him a buddy, preferably small because there's not much room in the truck for another pooch.
Interesting on the adoption thing. When I adored my current dog they never had any visits or anything.

I got these 2 at birth, from a neighbor who was fostering a couple chihuahuas, one of which was pregnant. I'm sure if you check your local areas shelters, paper, and Craigslist you'll find one.
RvPopeye, love the beagles, have owned a couple in my life, great companions.
Almost There is very correct in stating that it's the owner not the pup that has to go through all the adaptations. They become your primary focus and your activity revolves around them. One example I'll point out...going into libraries or other places to escape the heat and use WIFI...if it's too hot outside for me, it's to hot for the girls.
