    Cargo Van Interesting van setup.

    Saw this van parked near my home. Thought it was an interesting idea. If you put a bed behind the front seats, swivels on the front seats and put a nice shelve above the bed for a TV and microwave it would work well. Hang curtains around the inside. You would be totally separated from the cargo...

    If you won on a lottery scratch off ticket?

    If you won $100,000 clear after taxes, would you buy a couple of new Transits and outfit them for drivers? I've been watching this and I believe the first response would be no, save the money. But, these vans would have no payments on them. Does everyone still feel it's too risky? Thinking it...

    Transit Review @ 47K

    I just got my 2015 long tall Transit back today from my selling dealer. Had a 47,000 mile 99 point inspection done along with an oil change and tire rotation. The dealer found nothing that was wrong! The brakes looked new, the shocks looked new. The air filter wasn't even dirty yet. So at 47K...

    Roof Top A/C question?

    For the van and Sprinter drivers who have installed roof top a/c, what have you noticed for fuel economy loss? Would the unit be more aero dynamic mounted toward the front of the roof or farther back toward the rear of the roof? Thanks!

    Truck Refrigerators

    I'm considering getting a refrigerator for my van. Should I go with a 12 volt/110 volt with automatic switch over? Or would a cheap Walmart type 110 refrigerator using an inverter be adequate? Built in or stand alone doesn't matter, I can build a cabinet if necessary. Any good brands that I...

    Phones Cell phone carriers

    I know this has been talked about before, but I'm looking for reassurance before making a change. I've had AT&T cell service for over 10 years now. Verizon has a deal where they'll give me $200 trade in for my old IPhone 4. That's means a free IPhone 6! If I upgrade to the 64 gig it's a $99...

    Thursday July 3rd my 4.8 Chevrolet engine gave up its last breath. Murray got me a going home load from just outside Cleveland going to Warren MI. Perfect load to go home for the long weekend. Used a forklift to drag my dead van around to the front parking lot of the shipper. Walked next door to...

    Van insulation

    Is there some reason that I shouldn't use fiberglass batt insulation in my sidewalls of my van? Was thinking of using these batts and then a 3/4 inch thick insulated wall board. Then reinstalling the factory panels back on over the insulation. And what's recommended for the ceiling thickness...

    Pro Master

    I've read a lot about the fuel milage and good and bad about the Dodge Pro Master. But I'm just wondering what the drivers are feeling about the power that this 3.6 engine puts out. How do they feel when empty, how do they feel when loaded to their max capacity? Do they easily run 70+ mph when...

    Question for new GM Van owners.

    I'm thinking of a new 2014 GM Van with the Unicell 14' CW body. What I'm wondering is if I should order with the 4.8 liter V8 or the 6.0 liter V8, both gas. What kind of fuel mileage are these newer vans getting with the 6 speed automatics? What rear gear ratios are you guys running? I know the...
