I need a new daily driver. I also need something to haul my bike.

Van:
pros -- bike is sheltered, easier loading and unloading (one person can do
it), could camp in the van in a pinch
cons -- not good for a daily driver

Truck with a hitch:
pros -- good for a daily driver
cons -- must rent a trailer if I want my bike sheltered, loading and
unloading without a trailer sucks (tougher for one person)

My first idea was to buy a work van with no back seats and mount my
front-tire holder to the floor. Then I started thinking about a truck with a
hitch because it's a better general purpose vehicle and because I can rent
5x8 (covered) trailers from U-Haul for $20 per day.

Not sure what I will do yet. Anyone here using a van, and what do you think
of the van option? If I knew the right van to look for it would help.
