    How many miles is too many? (used cargo van)

    I'm looking to buy a used cargo van. Although it won't be used for expediting, I figure you guys/gals would be the best place for me to ask. I will be using this van for weekly round trips of about 500 miles hauling x amount of batteries. (Car, Truck, Boat and aircraft type batteries)...

    LWB / Extended Van?

    Another Newbe question. Do most van operators use a long wheel base (in GM Vans) or Extended Ford van? Would a normal size van work? How about sleeping? Can you get a cot or something to sleep on if you have 2 pallets on board? I suppose most loads for a van would be 1 day trips...

    Shower / bathroom in Sleeper?

    Hi guys/gals, Just wondering about something. I see a lot of Hino Trucks on the "find trucks" section that have a bathroom / shower in the sleeper. I'm wondering where does the water come from? and where does the "black water" go? Is it just like an RV setup? or is it something else...
