We have done similar in both a Jeep and a Caravan. It should save you quite a bit on fuel....though you will probably spend some of your savings on motel rooms and eating out once in awhile.
Some thing I did:
- Magnetic strips to hold the mosquito netting to the outside of the doors.
- Roof racks and a rocket box for more storage.
- Side awning supported by the roof rack. I clamped a 4" PVC tube to the racks and then used a tarp attached to the tube with trucker straps and two extendable tent poles and guy lines to hold the outer two corners. Worked great. To store, just roll up, shove inside the tube and cap.
- If you haven't already, remove the second bench seat.
Have fun.
