I'll throw this into the van discussion:
2000 Ford E-150 conversion van.  Sure only gets 15 mpg but full 8 ft racks 
(who knows how many 'yaks you could fit up there), dual in-dash CD players 
with headphones, 15" TV/VCR, 110v power inverter, 3 12v power outlets, 4 
swivel captains chairs (think LazyBoy), folding bench seat (folds into 
actual queen-sized bed), can sleep 4 adults very comfortably (2 on bed, 2 
on floor), window blinds for those shy about boat ramp clothing changes, 2" 
hitch + cargo platform with lockable full-sized pickup toolbox for gear you 
prefer to keep outside.  All makes for a pretty inviting place after an outing.
