Dwh, a van is certainly a consideration, I had a 2wd Ram years ago when the kids were growing up and camped in it. Not decked out like yours, I removed the center captains chairs and we were on the small bed in back with the kids on the floor. Days past, I don't think one like I had would work today. I took it off road in the woods and never had a problem.
Haven, very nice rig and I don't consider that small. So far it looks like my "requirements" might need to be refined as I'm sure that doesn't get 15 MPG. Maybe I should have asked is micro better than mid size......LOL
I saw in one of the links that the Alaskan had a head and it was shown, I believe, at 25 inches wide at the end of the bed by the door, is that about standard? Nice!
What about a more simplified set up, not backpacking, but say a camp stove, ice chest, solar/propane water heater-shower, folddown bed.....anything more simplified that might be lighter and require less vehicle, thereby offering that 15 mpg? Or, is what has been discussed considered the small side?
