Cool rig. Very similar to my first moto vans, probably what started it all for me 10 or more vans ago. I have not seen anyone on here fooling with the old Chevy bodies. Worth a try but you might have better luck on some vintage Chevy forums. Stick around and share your journey with us...

For what? It works. Very old thread but you've resurrected it successfully. Cheers! ;)

I use snow.

Yep, I'm thinking it must be, a diesel. Always slightly better mpgs than gas.

Which one? I've only ever had one Transit and it was a mid-roof LWB, 2016 ecoboost. I've had 2-3 AWD Chevys and 2 were stock height vans, one was a Fiberine fixed high top. Mileage was about the same on all of them IIRC.

I had a 2016 2wd Ecoboost Transit that I ran expedite/hotshot freight in for a living for awhile. I drove it very fast and usually very loaded. About halfway through it's time with me I put 245/75-16 KO2's on it with an Eaton Truetrac for better offroad-ability. This had no impact on MPG's...

I don't want to do a lot of things but I do them anyway, like drill holes and seal them properly for things that might blow away. But, some people have used VHB tape with success. If you post a pic of your roof it might generate some more ideas.

I have put 265's on two AWD Chevy vans and what Scotty D said is true. The factory 3:73 (?) gearing is not great for these. Wait, maybe it's 3:43, even worse. Can't remember.

Nice stable. Apparently funds are of no concern so if you go with a van may I suggest something more creative than a Sprinter? Build something unique, and cool, and capable.

I'd say there's about a 100% chance the seller is not a forum person and got enough bites from the original post to sell it.......and never thought of this forum or the van again. It would be nice if they would simply post a 'sold' message though.

Yep, they won't be happy until they can sell you an flat 8x8 wall with headlights in it.

Where?

Please share your experience as you go along. Congrats on the new venture!

Tundra, not Taco. This. I don't know why some pick a Unimog to travel within the U.S. but I also don't understand why people will try to live in a Subaru.

Why isn't everyone doing this? I'm no expert in electronics but I've been reading more and more about 48v. What is the downside? Why have we been wasting so much copper and efficiency for so long?

Love it. How soon til they put one on an E-series cutaway?

I saw that but it still left me with no classic camper porn for the day and therefore sad.

This is mostly correct but most newer road tractors have weed burner exhausts, not stacks anymore. This is 'trucker speak' for regular exhaust underneath like a typical vehicle. Trucks are also very well sealed, impressively so in fact.

Buy a hose, run it 20' from the vehicle. It'll look real stylish and keep you alive.
