+Which cargo van?
+Here are some ideas to help break the cycle of endless research.
+===== start with what you have =====
+Have a minivan?  A pickup? An Suv? A car?  Start with that.  Do the camping/living you like in that vehicle you already own.  This will get you practical experience with the vehicle (and your own preferences) as soon as possible.
+===== minimalist builds =====
+It doesn't take much:
+  * Take out the back seats and put a cot back there.  Or pad and sleeping bag.
+  * flashlight
+  * 99c jugs of drinking water from the grocery store
+  * some food that doesn't require refrigeration
+  * a spade and some toilet paper for a cathole toilet
+  * maybe a book
+===== camp nearby =====
+Your early test runs will be easiest to do near your home base.  Maybe in your driveway.  That way if there is a problem or forgotten item (toilet paper!) you can run back in and get it.
