    Why a Sprinter or Cargo Maxx VS Box/Cube Van

    Both the post above are spot on. The older 12-14 ft box drw cubes are killers in weight , mileage and how they ride.

    Sprinter Owners

    For the most pat people that do this in a CV or like unit do just fine...Those that go broke and lose the van or more are normally the ones that haven't set themselves up to succeed to begin with. You'd be surprised by the number of people that jump into this business thinking its a easy quick...

    Sprinter Owners

    It is my understanding that Maxx Auto Group is no longer handling the Ultra and Terra Maxx units as they lost the Cargo Maxx a few yrs ago, I heard that they are no longer a Rep for TurtleTop....It also appears that they are no longer advertising here....If my info is wrong, i apologize, but it...
