A ramp door on the rear to load a four wheeler or similar, fold down seats/cots like a C-130 down the side walls and fixed tricycle gear. Capable of 6000 lbs. gross weight with a strut braced high wing. It would not have to be fast, 100 knots would be fine as long as I have a good autopilot and a coffee pot! Me and that airplane could both sip hot liquids as we travel to this country's airshows.
