I don't see that happening with any Van. You have a dilemma. There are only very expensive Overlander rigs that have all you want; but those are in the $150K U.S. and up category. 4WD Class B's are hard to find and the owners think they have a gold mine.
I saw a tall Ford 1 ton Transit Van in town last week that had 4WD and more clearance than usual. After hearing of all the M.B.

If you are not a hard core off-roader, this seems to be getting the most for the least. I'll bet we'll be seeing a lot more of these coming up, what with so many kids opting for a plain jane van down by the river instead of a rental home or purchasing a stick/brick house. Just select Van Home on You tube and get a eyeful of clever adaptations.
