Step Van

I'm currently trying to plan out the necessaries for a project that has a need of movable, reliable storage. I need either a double axle trailer or a box truck (I'd rather have a truck so I don't have to arrange/purchase a tow vehicle), which would hold what I have to store. 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.
