Have you considered electric bikes as an alternative. Even if you aren't a bicycler they will do most all of the work for you. If you need to shop, or have littles you can bring along a bike trailer, but realistically getting a good cargo system and/or some bungees would likely be sufficient.
Our family was too big to carry bikes for everyone, but we found that even just having one e-bike, allowed for grocery or laundry runs by one parent without moving the motorhome. It was a great in between.
I literally used a diy electric bike and double bike trailer as our second vehicle in rural Appalachia for 5 years. When I had 100lbs of kids and trailer going up a steep hill I had to pedal hard, but without the kids or only moderate hills I could ride like it was nothing if I wanted to.
