[VAC] Tow vehicles that seat 15



I can't resist asking...how about tow vehicles that seat 15 people ?  My 15
passenger
1995 Ford 350 Van is very long, of course.  It is rated to pull up to 7000
lbs(found out by calculating some complicated formula by the Ford
salespeople)I know these big vans have a safety warning for
rollovers(studying the statistics, it is usually the rental vans, not people
like me who drive them every day).  But there is lots of room in there for
all the kiddos(7) and groceries, camping equipment, cousins,etc.  I pull the
Safari 23' sometimes, and the Argosy 26' sometimes.  No problem.  I want a
31 or 34 ft Airstream eventually, and a new 15 passenger van.  Any thoughts
on this ?  Maybe turning will be like a semi ?  WIDE right turns ?  I wonder
if these vans can be changed to handle more weight ?  Anybody else drive one
of these monsters?  Thanks for the input.
