Hello experienced American campers!
My family are booked to visit the South West States in Summer next year. We plan to visit some of the national parks and will camp most of the time. We are bringing our tents and sleeping bags, and will buy bulkier and heavier items when we arrive, such as dishpan, laundry soak bucket (4 week visit!), airbeds and a mini camping stove. We don't intend to buy 'glam camping' extras like chairs and tables, but we will need room to carry a few food basics and water. We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 teenage kids who are adult sized), so we will need a big car.
I am looking at minivans at the moment which include cars like Nissan Quest and Dodge Grand Caravan. I presume though that we won't be able to remove the extra seats (especially as we are picking up from Los Angeles and dropping off at Jackson Hole) so I am not sure if this would be big enough. Has any had any experience of these types of cars and their capacity? Any thoughts or recommendations please?
Many thanks, SJ
