If we were that close we'd be at our kids and grandkids...1 in southern MD and 1 across the river in Manassas..Thanks for the offer..Merry Christmas to you and yours...:D
Caryn and Mike just love 12 foot sprinters!!:D and I know John will say the same...they were sooo disappointed when TJ aka Todd put a permanent bulkhead in and went to 125"...
I am thinking of returning the 3rd or 4th of Jan...but also looking at the week of the 10th...JuJu says I can take the whole month off..but I'd rather take the time in the spring to get the garden in...JuJu got stuck with much of that work last year..
Update...while 1-3" of snow is not that much...15-25mph winds will make it a nightmare...
beware of your load selection...drive safe!

I'll tell ya a permanent bunk might be fine for some..but my preference would be a movable bed and keep the 3/4 skid option open...with a $46,000 investment and only 18-20mpg, I'd want every load i could get to recoupe my costs...but that is me...
In all my time i've seen very few true 48x48 skids...quite a few 48x45 auto bins and then the 48x40 pallet..as long as they can be turned is 120" or 10 feet

05's are 158"...extra suspension does nothing but add weight to an already heavy van and adds NO payload advantage...unless...you plan on heavy loads?..Personally I don't go over 3,000 lbs.
If you are one of them type that worry about the GVRW and weight..I'd have the empty van weighed and compare it to the door sticker...that way you'll have an idea as to what toys you can get..
MY 2005 is stock off the self...579k now...and is functional..it IS a work truck first and foremost.
I am still of the belief we as a species need a great war, looking at the timetable of history we are way overdue for the big one...our world economy is in terrible shape...
I don't subscribe to the warming theory...Just the natural weather patterns of the earth...
Question: When the earth cools down again...will they blame man then? Probably..:rolleyes:
What a place to breakdown in...at least they have a Walmart SC there...:cool:
In my experience the price difference of OEM and China junk isn't that different in alternators...With a key piece..I always go OEM..it pays in the long run.
