Ever thought about a Toyota Sienna AWD van?
Yes, Sienna/Odyssea/GrandCaravan are on our radar.
These minivan conversion kits out of Quebec look pretty nice and simple:

Jeebus. DIY it yourself for less than a thousand and use the ret of the $$$ for road trips and beverages.
Price of canopies has me weeping. I'm considering building my own box out of plywood, 20g steel studs and 90 degree angle but I'm sure there are tons of good reasons not to.

I posted it as an example of a nice simple setup.
DIY is a good option if you have the tools/time/space/skills and enjoy a project.
Buying the kit is a good option if you have the money and rather save time and use it for road trips ;-)
Perhaps there is a business opportunity for Endurimil here? ;-)
I realized some time ago that not everybody is handy & good at building things. Everyone has a different skill set. Plus, some people don't have the time to commit to building something.
Buy or DIY:
Space is another factor required for the DIY road. Storage for the tools to make a good kit take around the same amount of space as storing the finished kit bits, and workshop space is another matter on top of that. Good pre-fab'd kits are a nice option for many, I'm sure.
I love the learning aspect and sense of accomplishment with DIY, but there's value in both routes.
I’ve been trained to believe that I CAN build almost anything.
For a variety of reasons I still pay to have things made, even things I can make myself (and often better). It’s very liberating, reducing the length of my to-do list (theoretically) and allowing me to focus on what I’m best at, enjoy, and can’t afford to farm out.
Personally, I’d pay good money for a set of plans and specialty parts to build that for my specific vehicle. Let someone else do the measurements, that way I can get down to Makin’ Sawdust.
