A good friend of ours has 8 children, so there were 10 of them. They had a Ford F350 "bus van" with a diesel engine, bought a 30' Sand Piper (I think) bunkhouse and enjoyed camping as much as any family. Their problem was where to carry all the bikes, trikes, wagons and doll houses that were a necessary part of every camping trip. Somehow, they managed and now that all (yes every one) of the kids are grown, at any family gathering, without fail, camping comes up in the conversations as they talk fondly about the happy memories they have.

So, possibly look at some of the "large van" offerings that have seating for up to 15. You might find something that would work for your "relatively small family" (compared to some).....

My suggestion: Find the suitable trailer first !!!! That way you know the requirements that your tow vehicle has to meet (beyond the number of seats) and you're assured that the vehicle you do finally choose is up to the challenge of towing as well as seating.
