Having been a long time full time RVer…neither is really adequate for longer term use IMO, but the van is less inadequate than the slide in from our looking at them in a post 5th wheel life. Anything more than a couple weeks in either for 2 people wouldn’t really be optimum…but it depends on the couple I guess.

Our longest trip so far was approximately 15 weeks. I think she still loves me. Probably more of a minimalist, I feel the van is perfect for our needs. I can't imagine driving a conventional RV where we travel.
And that's really what it's all about. What works for some may not work for others but there is no simple answer to a question like this.
Personally having spent nearly six weeks on the road in a Ford Transit van with my wife and our black lab on a trip to Alaska, the Yukon and back and many other week to three week trips I find van travel fantastic and very comfortable but others might want more space, more amenities and prefer a larger vehicle and of course some wouldn't travel in anything other than nice hotels. Needs and wants vary and there's not a single travel mode answer that fits everyone.
