>>2729996I'd start step by step.
the first Gen crv is a sick ride.
I used to have one and camped out of it a ton with a super simple bed platform in the back.
I feel like wether u need a van or not really depends on where you want to be and for how long at a time you want to do it.
I lived & wokred out of my S10 blazer together with my wife and dog for a bit more than a month last year and we didn't have a ton to complain about.
but we were in the woods of Finland with plenty of fresh water and mostly no people around.
if I were you I'd put my shit in the crv and go on a camping trip next weekend, see what bothers you and then improve on it.
maybe that will shed some light on what you need /don't need.
generally I think spending 3k building a trailer for the crv sounds better than jumping into 15k for a van without ever figuring out your needs.
also people talk about rtts as if they were memes but I love this thing.
my wife built it and it ever so slightly to short but I do very much love it.
