Best Camping Vehicle?

Ok, /out/, I'm considering going on a long camping trip this summer, and I want to have my own vehicle to do it in. I'm planning to go somewhere in West Canada, in those mountain ranges. I'm not terribly concerned with comfort, so what's a vehicle that has good gas mileage, carrying capacity, and can reasonably accommodate 3-4 people for up to 3 weeks, but would not be terribly cramped/small?
>>
Kind of a the wrong board. Most everyone here won't consider that really camping (including me)

May as well stay at a hotel and go on day trips... Especially if you're considering dropping that much coin to go on a three week trip.

Well the point really is to get as far away from civilization as possible, and obviously that is incompatible with either staying in a hotel or hiking, because one cannot reasonably hike hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement.
>>
>>665996
While I agree with this guy I wouldn't mind roaming around the lower 48 behind the wheel of this beast, using it kind of as a "base camp" where I could trek from on foot >>665997

Sure you can.
And be prepared if that vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

I can't remember if they get triggered or not by them, I only go for the trains.

Van camping is best camping.
Places like Joshua Tree are perfect for this.
I have all my gear packed and ready to go at a moments notice.
Tough week at work?
Drive to the woods or lake straight from work on friday.

I reckon this. If your goal is to get as far from civilization there won't always be perfect roads. If you carry some jerry cans and a tent you will get maximum range in the thousands of kilometers

I agree with that post, I can't wait until I'm able to ride again.
>>
>>667506
edgy reference is to the cager comment. Somehow I find it hard to believe that anon making it doesn't own a car, or use a car, etc. I ride, I get it. I also have a car, and a truck, and a boat. I also enjoy camping but have a house.

Pros
-take everything you will ever need for an extended multi year long camping trip with you, as if you never left home
-lets you go through mountains instead of over them

Cons
-gas guzzler
-no tires, so you cannot drift around dusty country roads to eurobeat

Your best bet is a pop-up camper instead of dedicated RV.

Get a sailboat with a shallow draft at that point.

Only going downstream is kind of a concern, don't you think? You'll still have to think of a way either to get there or to get back to where you came from.

Sailboats can't navigate rivers as well as paddlecraft.

Besides, most sailboats that actually function for transportation also function as homes.

>>669035
Strong currents could really fuck you, yeah.
>>
>>669074

Thing with running a sailboat is that you can pretty much fuck off to wherever you want on the planet.

>>669097
Believe me, I know. I'm a huge boatfag.

It's just not really camping, per se.

Unless you have a shitty little daysailer that isn't suitable for transportation, your boat will be a home in and of itself.
>>
speaking of boats, going to archipelagos and tenting there is comfy af
you can use kayaks, smaller boats or a boat that you sleep in of course

Want to carry 3_4 people on unimproves roads for camping? Awd chevy express with bunks 17_18mpg. Alternatively, 3/4 ton truck with slide in camper, cheaper possibly but less mpgs.
