oh since you mentioned 30-60 day or longer trips, another thing to consider is the ability to stealth camp.
that is when sprinter comes very handy. During my Alaska and Canada trip, I realized a low-vis vehicle like a sprinter can be real beneficial to extended trips because they allow for stealth camping. You can just park it in a regular parking spot, close the blinds, put a partition or something between the driver seats and the "living quarter", put a high-vis vest and hard hat on the dash, and you can camp anywhere. That option is out of question with pop-ups (Hiatus, GFC, etc). When I was up north I had to secure campsites because it was still in season and campsites are high demand, so I had to modify my routes and miss quite a few things I want to see just so I can get a spot.
I got a friend who bought a Storyteller van. That thing went to most places that I took my truck to, the only places that it didn't go were the more bumpy or tighter trail (aka, places I wouldn't take my truck to anyways lol)
another friend got a OBS F-250 with a 4WC slide in, and he's planning to use that to stealth camp when he goes to Mammoth to snowboard this season. I'll see how that goes and report back to give you some more ideas.

now this is what i REALLY want lol checks all the boxes.
offroad? yes (just no tight trails)
extended trips? yes
wet bath? yes (iirc it also has a washing machine)
insulated box? yes
cab to habitat pass through? yes, iirc
storage? yes
HVAC? yes
internet? yes
full kitchen with fridge and freezer? yes
only thing is no more high speed runs and it'd cost me $450k lol
Nothing says stealth like a sprinter camper van. May as well be a truck with a camper.
