TV & 30 ft TT to Mini Van and 17 ft TT
First of all, I’m looking for a friendly DISCUSSION (As if friends were having a beer around a fire.) Obviously, gas is up, but both I and the DW have wondered about “something minimal you could sl...

And for my response. First of all, I presume you're the man/husband in this affair. (If not, I'm sorry ma'am and please move to the next response without reading further!) And you've divulged you own a 3/4 ton truck.
First bit of advice, is do whatever you can to get your cajones back out of your wife's purse, and put your foot down. Why, because they don't sell many groceries in paper bags any more and plastic bags pose a greater threat to suffocating when you have to wear them over your head to prevent the embarrassment! (of driving the minivan...if you weren't tracking...)
Second, give some thought to how much you're going to use the man bun van as a shaggin waggon...really. You are accustomed to a 30' TT and you're gonna pack the campin gear like you're going tent camping? (which is basically what it is, except you have to leave your camping gear out in the rain to sleep in your "tent", or bring a tent for your camping gear, so that it has a nice place to spend a rainy night too)
3rd, back to my response about the truck bed being a pre-made tent, with a simple add on topper. Even more room in it likely, if it's a long bed, definitely.
4th, this is the worst time in history to buy a mini van (or any new or newer vehicle, frankly) and if the reason for this revolves at all around fuel mileage, which you've indicated it likely does, and not totally involving your manhood and a purse, which it also very well may, then it's still a great time to sell your truck. But the only thing worse than having to buy a minivan, is having to over pay for the privilege's of not just suspending, but revoking and shredding your man card!
So there you have it...
If you somehow decide to go through with this little endeavor, I am NOT to blame! I warned you! You chose not to heed (or didn't have a choice...the purse thing again...) I had no part in your demise!
Cheers man, all fun. Get a minivan if it's always been on your bucket list! Noone will laugh....I promise!
