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...

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

Has anyone tried those ice less coolers that they sell at truck stops? They cost between $40 - $99 and only claim to keep the temperature about 20-35 degrees cooler then the ambient temperature around them. Do they work or are they kind of useless? With the truck sitting in 100 degree temps for...

Looking at installing one of those stand up room a/c this weekend. I'm finding 8,000 or 12,000 btu units. My c/v is only partly insulated. I have a curtain between the cab and cargo area and one of those grey plastic wall and ceiling liners and the factory insulated floor mats below my wood...

Last year I bought a cheap plastic clamp on 12 volt fan from Loves. I noticed right away that when it plugged into the lighter port that my power door lock fob doesn't work. I need to lock the doors from the hard wired switches. Not a big deal. Now I have installed a TV and outside antenna. Now...

I'm having a hard time finding premium bright head lights for my CV. It uses the 9006 low beams. Tried the Sylvania silver star ultras, very short life. Tried the 80 watt cheap bulbs from the Iowa 80. They were good but only lasted about 2 months also. Want to try Phillips bulbs but can't find...

What have you guys been finding for a good tv antenna? Would an indoor house antenna work inside our big metal homes?

Another stupid van question about weight. My van weighs 6,160 with me, my gear and full of fuel. I took a heavy load to get out of Atlanta. The load was 3,368 plus my van weight of 6,160 for a total of 9,528. Thats almost right at my 9,600 door sticker. Question is, at scales do they go by what...

I have a choice of 4 new Bridgestone Vsteel tires or Firestone Transforce HT tires on new GM wheels. Which would be the better choice? Which would go more miles and which would have better winter traction? Also has Hankook or Michelin but those are on Ford rims. I really don't want to swap out...

Well I finally broke down and bought one of those 2000 watt inverter generators. Carrying it inside is not an option, smells and could possibly lose loads over the fuel inside the van. Now, what is the best way to mount it on a GM CV? I have been thinking about installing a front receiver hitch...

I have about 100,000 miles on my 2006 Chevrolet Express CV. I wanted to change spark plugs, but my trusted mechanic says not to bother. He claims the platinum plugs run way farther then that. How often do you other guys change plugs and do they look bad when you take them out? Also have you seen...

On my Chevrolet CV the a/c works great on the road and most times through traffic. When it's 100+ degrees and I try and idle the van, the air starts getting warm. I'm guessing that I need more air flow across the condenser. Have any of you tried using electric fans installed in front to push...
