    Cargo Van 1 pa-pallet, 2 pa-pallet 3pa-pallet four...?

    If I insulate, I was going to finish the walls in that thin stuff they use in gas station bathrooms and walk in fridges, comes shiny and they have thin strips to cover the seams...its either textured or smooth and very tough, like tile board without the tiles, what's it called? Edit: think I...

    Cargo Van 1 pa-pallet, 2 pa-pallet 3pa-pallet four...?

    Luan must be an American thing, sounds like a Dennys waitress Found it, at 1 store, like 1" MDF for speakers, hard to find north of the border...learned something new...its like what they make those $20 interior doors out of

    Start of my bed

    Puts mine to shame, although if mine was that cozy I'd be tempted to ignore the phone and keep sleeping

    2014 Promaster...where is the battery?

    Hope you got it running ;) it took a tow truck plus two booster packs to start me after I killed both batteries with my laptop, was a diesel 10 years ago now. My first "breakdown":D

    Cargo Van 1 pa-pallet, 2 pa-pallet 3pa-pallet four...?

    If I get smashed, I'm not paying the local rate of 10,000 for an 05 I'd try for a 4 cyl...i have a thread on mine somewhere, paid 2900 US for mine with 180000 miles on it (in truck talk)... I'll now defer to the people that actually own newer Sprinters to answer questions

    Cost Of Equipment Funding

    I've done this once, so I'll go easy...things to think about: -MUST be unlimited miles -you have to do repairs and maintenance payments while you keep up with the truck payments -a "write-off" is not a tax credit...example an individual paying 1000 a month would get a real life tax savings of...

    Tires

    Thanks for the warning, my first set got 200,000 miles (when they had just come out) but they usually "cheapen" a design when it's been out for a while, in my experience

    Yes, over thinking a bit. But you will have the bumper damaged fairly often, unless you are standing by the back ready to scream at the forklift driver (you should, every time). Options here are limited to something like a trailer hitch with a step bar or steel bump plate if you don't want that...

    Sprinter-source.com Best resource for what you want to know. My favorite is the fleet sprinter that racked up 272,000 in warranty repairs...

    Forgot to mention, in Canada it reversed again, I last filled up with diesel at 0.849 a litre and gas was around .95 Thanks for the banter everyone, for now the best van for me seems to be sitting in my driveway...maybe I'll get some time to hassle a dealer or two today...

    So no point for high roof. I'm 5'11 and so far I haven't figured out how to get an 84" load thru a 74" opening

    Portable Generator deals/for sale? Best a/c unit?

    80% of Kickstarter projects never ship (ok I made that up but it's kinda true)

    There any point to the super high roof? The door height doesn't look any different

    Welcome September

    Time will tell on the gas sixes, can't get it thru my head that one would last 500,000 miles... I heard they were good, but my low roof work dried up, trying to stay out of regulated (straight truck) at all costs

    Welcome September

    Never that low, so far...my big issue is I like to be one move ahead as far as vans go...i've already turned down a "sprinter" load that would have paid more than I did for the van, but it was 74" high...but what is there to choose from? Everything is dpf/def and worse on mpg

    Welcome September

    When is there not a headwind? In Toronto they're still plentiful, as far as the drop in mpg give me yours for a hot run and it'll drop too ;) I doubt I would have seen 15 mpg with a gas transit

    Pretty sad, they haven't improved on the T1N in my opinion, I've got 26 mpg recently on the highway and 20.5 at 70 mph with 2000 lbs...
