A different "tow" vehicle? Options

[Big Len]

After seeing all the great pictures from Red Rocks and Tennessee, Linda and I would like to attend next year, but here's the problem:

1. My back ain't gonna last 12-30 hours in my little car.

2. Linda packs more stuff than a NASCAR team.

So, the choices are towing or shipping.

Towing is a problem because I don't have a trailer or a vehicle to tow with. Checking the prices to rent both is pretty expensive per mile. Plus, you have an exposed car and are subject to all the issues with towing a car.

Shipping is again an expensive proposition with the problem of pickup and delivery and return.

I'm taking the long way around the barn, but my question is has anyone ever used a step van as a car transporter? Something similar to a UPS or FedEx truck, a duelie with a roll up door wide enough to fit our car. It would be low enough to use a ramp and would need a couple of welded tie downs inside.

There are a couple of all aluminum units near me that are cheap enough, under $4000. Maybe change the seats to make them more comfortable. Plus, I could use it for camping or moving crap around.

Any thoughts?
