I was where you were last year (although my use much different) was heavily deciding between a Tiger and a Sprinter Van. Long story short, nixed Sprinter due to difficulties with repair away from big cities so leaned towards Ford's Transit and getting 4x4 done. The extended vans rear overhang was also big concern for type of arrears we go to. Other choice was Provan Tiger which I love, it had all we wanted and I went to their shop twice, once with a blank check in wallet.
Ultimately I decided on a 2001 Chinook Concourse XL, put a 4.5" lift with AT tires and while not 4x4, it is great in snow and washboard FS, dirt roads and off-grid. Due to size and weight I do not really use where I need 4x4 but clearance is issue, hence the lift. I am on east coast and my biggest issue is the narrow fireroads and low canopy, but I would have same problem with Tiger, less so with van.
The Chinnok has much more room than van but less than Tiger. It really is nice compromise.
Sorry, I guess I got off-topic but I did want to give an option, but to your question, I think the Tiger is much more serviceable in any town, more comfortable due to larger layout with two sleeping areas, or one sleeping and one sitting area, and whereas vans feel cramped the Tiger feels spacious, very spacius, and if you are building the Provan people are great to work with and have very good reputation.
