Used conversion van for "band van"?

My band needs a van for 'light' touring several long weekends per year and one longer trip per year (two weeks).
My wife (yes rockstars can be married), insists I do my research before I sell her beloved "Sparkles" to get this.
I have about $5500 and want something that won't break down too much, gets decent gas mileaage and has room for our equipment (we don't have a lot, like Marshall half-stacks just drums, 3 amps and 3 guitars.) There are 5 of us.
I'm thinking:
Ford E150 Chateau/XLT maybe move the seats up a bit in the back and use a cargo rack for duffels etc.
or
Dodge 20 someone is selling for around $5000
Or???
Questions: How many miles can a good conversion van go in its life?
What is a realistic expectation for gas mileage 6/8 cyl?
Do they break down a lot or is it per the individual vehicle?
What color should we get?
