Thanks for the reasoning on why not a truck. Low access height does mean you will have wheel arches to contend with.

You need to check on jurisdictions, our ambulances sometimes have the side door, but always have the pass through. Everyone specs out their needs differently.

6mpg isn't bad for something driven with two pedal conditions: full on and full off. I suspect they would get 12-13 driven sanely which is what I got dragging my big boxy unaerodynamic toy hauler.

Solar on top shouldnt add to much friction drag as compaired to a/c and emergency access mandates.
