RQQFER, Newbie here also--for what it's worth, the best "quickie" combination I can see so far is to hit one of the big heavy equipment auctions, buy a decent diesel box van MDT (or straight truck cab/chassis unit) then chase down a good used bumper-pull RV trailer on Craigs List or your favorite classified. Drop the axles from the trailer, swap the van body for the trailer body, and make a nice transition (pass-thru) from the cab to the front of the trailer body. I've yet to see any major undo-able problems with this approach if you have some fairly decent fabrication skills. You get a self contained unit in very short order, and with all the ultra-light smooth sides out there, you can fabricate some under chassis storage compartments that should match up fairly close. I'm suprised we don't see more of this marriage!
