My dad did something similar - but with a pickup and camper shell.
He had a fold down bed in the back. Room for bikes and camping gear. Kayak rack on the roof. When he retired (before mom retired.) he headed north from San Diego to Bellingham, WA (where I lived). Then drove into Canada and hopped from island to island up through south western Canada, then up and over to Alaska, Denali, etc.. Then east through Canada, then down into Glacier Nat'l Park... over to Yellowstone, then over to the Badlands... then he did all the Utah parks (Arches, Canyonlands, etc...) then down to AZ to see my aunt (his sis), then back home. He biked where he wanted to, kayaked where he wanted to, and had a comfy base to do it from.
Have fun with your new ride!
