The vehicle would most likely sit all but one or two days a week in an uncovered, safe, private lot. The lot is at the top of a sharp hill (200ft).
I also need to make sure that others can drive this (which makes me wary about a trailer option). And it needs to be as easy to maintain as possible.
So I've looked around and I keep coming back to a step van/bread truck. Partly because the box trucks I've looked at are van fronts...and I've worked on those vans before....ugh....
Has anyone had any experience with these? Are they any easier to maintain/work on? This budget is tight, so every penny counts.

My only comment would be that if the project will require you to go in and out of a vehicle multiple times, either empty handed or carrying stuff, the box truck will get old after awhile due to the additional height of being mounted on top of the frame. Even with a decent folding stair. I've got an F-Super box delivery truck and the tailgate is loading dock height with standard mounting and minimal shims.
Service-wise, there's plenty of room thanks to the p'up nose.
