I'm trying to find the van of my dreams, but I am struggling with some driving and build considerations. I will be doing some driving in the Northeast US in the winter for holidays. So inclement weather driving is guaranteed including snow and ice. My plan for the build includes getting a camper high top so my bed will be lofted over the cab. I want to have a desk for work and my bathroom in the back over the rear wheels.
For these reasons I am concerned about a standard RWD van. They're not as good in the snow from everything I've heard and I won't have weight over the drive wheels to help me. I would prefer a FWD van, or 4WD if that's easier to get, but they seem to be so expensive. I've driven FWD cars through the snow for years so I don't feel like I need 4WD.
Am I way off base here? Does anyone else have a FWD van? I can't even find a list of make/model/years that offer FWD to try and look for something used. Same problem with 4WD vans.
