I bet these people who say anything negatively about big sleepers go to NASCAR races and spend 100's on tickets, parking, hot dogs, beer and motels. To each his own. Like I said, it's their money. Who cares? I wanna see some sleepers with pop-outs on them like RVs have. Maybe a pop-up roof...

Never had a problem with Shell or BP. Look out for that Pilot gas though. Lately, I've been knocking like a Fuller brushman on Sat. morning going up hills

I think we can squeeze just.. ONE.. more.. sidebox on this truck. Cmon, just ONE more!! Maybe a little one right behind mudflaps!!! Man this truck is cool

Hey, it's THEIR money. If someone wants a big payment, it's on them. Hell, if you're out 2 months at a time on the road and have no youngens at home, why not take your house with you? I sense alter-ego jealousy here. I don't see how these o/o's with mammoth rides affect my bottom line. Why would...

I was looking at a Honda 1000i generator. After reading this, I guess the 2000i would be a better choice to handle the starting power for my AC unit. I want to build a vented box for the generator and mount it on my van's rear door. Generator is 42 lbs dry, plus box weight, maybe 15 lbs? Hope my...

I just purchased a 5200 BTU wall mount AC air conditioner to mount in the side door of my cargo van. Anyone have any experience with portable generators for powering the AC? So far Ive found Honda, Coleman, and McCulloch models under 700 bucks that might fit the bill. Any advice on which unit is...

Thanks for the informative response. After hearing all that, I might be best going with an outside generator and rooftop RV AC unit. I really don't want to idle this gas eater all summer at almost 1 gal. per hour. Does anyone know a reasonably priced RV AC dealer?? And what is a good install...

Can someone tell me if it's possible to convert this portable AC unit to use in a cargo van? http://www.compactappliance.com/xq/JSP.detailmain/Amcor_9_000_BTU_Portable_Air_Conditioner/itemID.13321/itemType.PRODUCT/iMainCat.23/iSubCat.38/iProductID.13321/qx/shopping/product/ALP9000E.htm

Last month I built a sliding bulkhead in my van that's attached to the bed. The whole piece is on wheels and can slide back 8'. When I have one light skid on or if I am empty, I can move the bed/bulkhead back and have 8' of sleeper space. The bulkhead can be rolled back to the front end of the...

They look like they wont stay "balanced" very long. I cant imagine running these things on rough roads much before those flexible spokes start changing their length and ovaling the whole tire! They should test them on Detroit area roads first maybe

Thanks for link Jack!

Does anyone know of a reasonable place to get a raised roof put on a cargo van?

Pop up roof sounds interesting! Are they noisy like a convertible? Haha, obviously I need to learn more about them. If me and my gf can function w/o raising the roof, (on the van as well as talking too loud to each other!) then I will just wait 2 or 3 years and get a Sprinter or box van. Are...

Unicell, with maybe 16' box will be my next van, if theres still any money to be made with small units. I didnt want to get back into this biz with a 40K van just yet. If it's too much $ to raise roof on my Ford, then I wont do it. I got it used ('04) with 19K mi on it for $16K, and wouldnt mind...

Definately like the doors raised as well. Makes squeezing that 48 inch high pallet in a lot easier! Thanx for the links and info. I will be coming back into expediting in August with co driver, and thinking of raising van roof nice & high

I have an '04 Ford ext van. Does anyone know where to get a 24" raised roof put on? Not findng anything on Google yet..
