Did you find that in cross winds at highway speeds or when a large semi truck passed you, both the 1995 Dodge Roadtrek and 2004 Chevy Roadtrek had similar road manners? Having driven both the older Dodge and newer (current body style) Chevy 15 passenger extended vans, usually with at least 10 to 15 passengers, that the Chevy handled a lot better than the Dodge. It just seemed more stable. Maybe a Dodge with spacers and a stabilizer kit would help, but I'm kind of leaning towards the newer style 2003+ Chevy chassis now, even though it will cost a bit more.
Another benefit is that as the years go on, the 2003 or newer Chevy (and even the 1996-2002 style) Chevys won't look as dated as the 1994-97 and 1998-2003 Dodge vans (who's design actually goes back to 1971). The Chevy Express which was all new in 1996 (and the current Ford - not the Transit, the Econoline/E-Series was all new in 1992) may seem dated to some, but seems quite young when compared to the Dodge design. Not everyone notices this, but some automotive enthusiasts might. I certainly do.
