vans are awesome, definitely enjoy the perks of the van and keeping your tools or personal belongings out of the outdoors, which tend to be wet here in oregon! and i do think they are the ultimate work vehicle, you can get a 1ton and tow just as much/well as you would with a truck, like aforementioned it keeps your stuff dry and safe, like you mentioned you can almost have an office in one....but i love trucks just as much for their own specialties. i also own an 02 chevy 2500hd 4x4 with an overhead rack. i do all my towing with it, not that a van couldnt handle its own, but i also love the fact i can throw whatever i want into it i.e. trash, rock, dirt, excessive lumber and all the messy stuff i would never want inside my van even if it were just a cargo. if a want to keep my stuff safe theres the ol'safari, shows, camping, etc. van! but gettin' er done i'll stick with my truck, with a garden hose even the dirtiest of you know what cleans right up! now if i were real loaded i would probably also purchase a full size chevy express, but we cant have everything. just keep in mind all the "truck type chores" you may no longer be able to accomplish before you make a final decision!

you have me beat on the rock for everything else i just throw my huge tarp down inside the van covers everything from roof to roof. I intend to get a pick up eventually to tow a fifth-wheel trailer (since i'm not sure if that contraption that was posted on here would be legal to tow behind my van...) A family friend has a fleet of RWD pickups and he's never gotten stuck (not sure how) and loves them. I borrowed one of them when my van was in the shop and realized it only a had limited slip diff yet he's never gotten stuck.
