:-/ :s Hello out there! I am preparing to hit the road by end of the year. Still haven't acquired a VAN yet. Have looked at enough to determine that I want to keep it simple, easy, and self contained. Don't want to tow anything and want to keep it to 4 tires/wheels, regular gas (no diesel), no more than 8 yrs old, higher gas mileage. Thinking a basic set-up of bed area, bathroom, table conversion, min.2burner stove, a fridge  bigger than those old dorm frigs., some storage bins, a maybe a few little bells & whistles. A roll out awning would be nice. It looks like the RoadTreks are very popular which hopefully means they are efficient & dependable. I like the look of these angled front ends that seems to scream streamlined and they have nice organization inside. They keep coming onto dealers lots with very low mileage and a story of 'an elderly couple tried it out and decided they wanted something bigger'.  Any thoughts on all the above?

I have an old Roadtrek and love it. Mine is on a chevy chassis. I am not sure how well the mercedez hold up and they may be a little more problematic to get someone to work on them. Welcome.
