You will find that it is more convenient than a van for most daily chores.
The entry/exit for passengers is easier.  Folding rear seats instead of a
van's removable seats are more convenient.  Ride is better.  Engine access
is better.

Be sure to get the double tail doors instead of the drop-down tailgate.
Much more convenient than crawling over the tailgate all the time.   Also
may fight with your trailer setup less if you need to get in the back while
the trailer is hitched.

New or used?  Have a particular truck in mind?
