Yes, I think a box van, Road Trek or Airstream B van would all make great TVs. The ultimate, of course, would be to hook your pod up to the back of one of these Allegro 36ers! Instead of a toad, it would be called a mole (mother-in-law-extra)! Would that count as one vehicle in a campsite?

I just saw someone pulling a tandem axle TT with a box van today. Looked like a 3/4 ton dodge. Looked stable and they were cursing at 65 mph.

We thought about it, but finding one with a heavy duty tow package etc is difficult. We use a large SUV, and it works for us. We have friends on the Airstream side who tow their 31 foot Sovereign with a Airstream B van. Works good for their lifestyle. They base the tube, and then short trip and overnight the area in the Bvan..

i would like to put aside gas mileage on this discussion; looking at more at the ultimate tv and usefulness. p/u's likely get simular gas mileage anyway. basically looking at full versatility. putting a rack on top for canoe and kayak, etc. someday i'm hitting the road with my pod with no destination. i'm really interested in this discussion. hogone

I don't think box vans are that popular for a personal vehicle they are more used as a company vehicle. I think they would be good for blocking the wind, a small camper would not be affected by the wind as much. I agree I don't remember anyone towing a r-pod with a box van. With gas prices being as high as they have been people are more interested in vehicles that get good gas mileage.

one thing i haven't seen or heard is anyone pulling with a good old (i guess new!!) basic box van. it seems this would be the ultimate (at least for me) camping/traveling vehicle. all enclosed for heat and air for asher (my golden retriever), alot of available storage, ability to utilize well when base camping, could fix it up to ones liking, etc. just curious if anyone has towed with one, any experiences, pros/cons, etc. i have always wanted one, but always went with the p/u. any maybe room for the hog!! hogone
