I didn't even know there were 4-pot Caravans back there for that model-year, the only ones I knew were turbodiesel available only in export markets.

Regarding the motorhome, a Diesel swap would sound as a good improvement mileage-wise, also increasing the ability to run on alternative fuels which might eventually be a great benefit on longer trips. Another issue is that they don't have too much room for improvements, altough there is always some way to get a considerable weight reduction in case of interior refurbishments.
