I kind of love the idea of a first-level "family" (found or otherwise) all living together in a wagon on a wagon train. And the whole campaign is just getting from one hazardous side of the world to the other. I may try it.

For the most part, published adventures call these caravans, but they are almost always the mercantile kind and not the "families on the move" kind, probably because that requires more world-building/campaign investment than just "bring merchants to a place, drop off goods, repeat." There's one...
