    Title of link says it all

    Very possible. Crapping pants, no. If there's no driver's seat, what's my excuse to get away from the wife?

    Model years of promasters/transits to avoid?

    That's an intelligent analysis. This job is a waste of time unless A- you love it or B- you have an "in" to something most people don't. I have both, so it's worth it. But I can count on one hand how many deliveries were worth taking into the USA last year - the rates are simply too low Sent...

    Model years of promasters/transits to avoid?

    If you were me, you'd buy a 2004-2006 sprinter and carry tools. And enjoy years of not breaking down under load. Or being towed. Of course, you aren't me. Buy something and drive. If you buy brand new it could still explode from a defect. IMO just get going and try to steer the ship. I...

    Straight truck GVWR with tag / pusher axle

    Thanks for the answer. I've long since decided to stay under 10k, more money left at the end of expenses. I'd be trying to get into Amazon with a big truck now, if for no other reason but knowing they have the cash to lose billions taking over trucking Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    Best Power Inverter and Aux Battery available for Sprinter

    Obviously, no one would mess with reclaimed smoke detectors for such a trivial thing. Home defense, that's another story...

    Ok it’s that time again. Which van to buy?

    Which is 14' inside right? Same as the "extended" from ram or ford... Canada sucks for new vehicles. Was looking at a transit with a 16' box, diesel...$784 a month for 60 months with $5000 down, and you don't even get to keep it. Lease

    Anyone running a Westinghouse iGen2200 or New Yamaha EF2200iS?

    When did the Westinghouse come out? Look on amazon type sites for user reviews, try and get a sense of the failure rate / longevity Personally I think Yamaha would be a close second to Honda, meaning longest life

    Front mounted generator and extended fuel tank on van?

    Don't buy an All-Power, mine lasted 1 hour and bent a pushrod :dead:

    Front mounted generator and extended fuel tank on van?

    "Fantastic" 200 mph fan only, not any fan. And I cut a hole in the door wind blowing across my bunk for it and rolled the windows down. I've looked at the zerobreeze, might work if you make a "tent" over you with a sleeping bag. Otherwise the portable stand up unit with the in and out tubing...

    Front mounted generator and extended fuel tank on van?

    Whatever you decide; keep in mind, I'm still alive off a fantastic fan and 2 deep cycles. Georgia was not fun tho, heat + humid I'm fantasizing again too, $100 coupon off a brand new honda 2000...i'll probably put it off again. Hey Grizzly can I buy your used filters? :laughing: I run mine...

    Promaster Volens Curtain-Side Cargo Van Trucks

    The funny thing is, after driving a Promaster 500k miles you bought another one...and still said that... :laughing:

    Ok it’s that time again. Which van to buy?

    Your next van should be a tractor trailer. (Maybe a straight) The border and roads are clogged with FTL traffic, but nary an expedite van to be seen in an 800 mile round trip

    Cargo Van Larger or more weight?

    3500 = dually = the regulation you want to avoid (in a sprinter) as well as too small between wheelwells A 3500 in a Promaster however is a single wheel under regulated weight... Do your research to make sure you end up where you want

    Scan tools

    Be very careful about asking the maker. Try and find out from a user. Chinese companies that have a business built on hacked and stolen software aren't known for accuracy or customer service Just do some research on Sprinter-source.com first, or talk to those using a tool with success directly
