To be blunt...

Forget the Expedition/Tahoe/Suburban/Sequoia/Armada and 6 people and a 33 ft TT.

You need to be looking at a very small list of Vehicles.

* 99-2005 Ford Excursion
* V10 E series Van (I would avoid a 5.4)
* Chevy Express (2500/3500)

There are other options.

Motor home
Bus Conversion (yes I am serious)

Thanks!
