Plus now you have a means of escape that is within a day's travel if you have to get out; and could also be outside of whatever monitoring the people at Terminus may have setup.

Getting 8 adults with equipment in and out of the van in a hurry would be a nightmare. If they drive up on an ambush/roadblock it is all over. You could not engage anyone with your weapons from inside that vehicle.
If it was me and it was between no vehicle or an unsuitable vehicle, I would pick no vehicle.

Regarding the unlocked gates; could part of the reason be that they are far enough inside that the zombies don't notice them? With the first gate just being chained but not locked, could that be enough to just keep zombies from stumbling in

I said it earlier, I think they are being watched for some time as they approach. I reckon those gates are usually locked. There is plenty of stuff around to show that there is regular activity.
I can see it be SOP, that when new people are noticed everyone goes to certain locations/action stations, incase it all goes pear shaped.
