I'm new to the full-size van life. My wife and I own a 2003 minivan, taken the backseats out, and took it on numerous weekend warrior camping trips over the years. Although it is "cheaper to keep her," my minivan is on borrowed times and will eventually be turned into a short distance commuter until the wheels fall off. Now we're thinking of graduating to a newer full-size van, taking it a little further and longer away from base camp (home). Although I'm sold of pledging to a full-size cargo van, my wife is still the practical one. She's willing to go with a bigger van--8 cylinder as opposed to our 6 cylinder minivan, as suggested by the members on my other thread (Thank you)--but our newer/bigger van will have to serve a dual-purpose: a family commuter and a camper (with the seats taken out occasionally for camping). A Happy Wife is a Happy Van Life. So how do I concede to my wife's request without sacrificing stealthiness in high profile stealth camping areas like California? Any suggestions?
