towing jeep
I would like to buy a class B that can tow a 4000lb jeep. Does one exist and if so what make,model and is it gas or diesel? Thanks

IMHO, towing anything with a Class B really destroys the utility and flexibility of a camper van. You won't be able to just pull off the road into a McDonald's, park in the city, etc. A better solution might be to pull a small trailer like a Casita behind the Jeep. You would have the same RV conveniences at much less cost. Good luck.
It really depends on your camping style and what you want to do for activities. Sometimes I tow my Jeep, sometimes my motorcycle, sometimes I just hang my bicycle and sometimes I just take the Class B. And you'd have the same problems getting into and out of McDonald's if you were towing a trailer, even a small one, behind a small vehicle like a Jeep.
BTW, even the smallest Casita is near the max towing capacity of the Jeep Wrangler and that's dry weight. You'd most likely be overloaded when you put your things on board. And the Wrangler can be very squirrely when you're towing things close to its limits.
