Seriously, sell the Dodge. Both the SDL and D will still out last it even at their current mileages.
If you have lots of sound equipment, get a trailer and pull it with either car.

I like that compromise! That's honestly what I'd be doing. Or instead of a trailer, you can get one of these:

If you are intent on selling, though, the SDL will have a higher resale.

If you are purchasing a nice bus with a comfortable ride it looks like you aren't going to be needing your other comfortable bus anymore. LOL So the SDL has to go. I love mine.
