What might cause a 1997 Dodge Caravan with a V6 engine with 96K miles to start backfiring?

Sounds like the timing belt is going bad and the motor is out of time slightly. this motor is a dual overhead cam design and it is pretty tricky to change this unless you are a good mechanic.

1999 Dodge Grand Caravan 3 point 3L is sputtering backfiring and rough idling but no check engine light is on Any suggestions as repair shops cannot figure out problem?
have they check the timing on it. sometimes when timing is off by a few degrees it would cause both rough idle and backfiring. also check for a dead cylinder.

What is better between dodge grand caravan and dodge caravan?
Well a lot of them have the same engines & transmissions; but if you have a lot of people you'll be driving around, you'd want the grand caravan...The only difference is the length. I would go with the standard size, it'll probably get better gas mileage and cause less wear on the transmission & engine.
