Well, that explains the mixed responses on availability. Thanks.

Sure. This is a quote from my earlier post. And will also add that I went out to the van last night to find the rear view mirror had fallen off the windshield. The glue had given out. It's a 10 year old van parked outside all the time so things like this happen. It only needs a bit of glue, so...

My '09 only has 119k.

Thank you for all the feedback. It is truly appreciated. It doesn't sound like the Quigley would necessarily be a mistake, but I'm again leaning towards waiting for the Transit AWD. Christian, thank you for your comment on the warranty. Not sure how I was dumb enough not to consider that part...

Can anyone offer ideas or suggestions to help me compare my current Express AWD to the new Transit AWD? Are there any situations where a Transit AWD would be preferable to a Quigley conversion? Pros and cons to these options? FYI, we're in the Southeast with occasional trips out West and plans...

My 2009 has it.

Is there a problem with just using a 120v space heater instead of a permanently mounted option? Those work extremely well in smaller spaces. It's what we usually use in my Aliner when we have shore power, even though it has a functional furnace. We've brought one along a couple times for the...

It's well past time for getting some elevated bed set up for the Greyhound Express. We've been camping with the bed on the floor of the van but that's a poor use of space. Here's the thing. The van gets used for hauling varying combos & amounts of gear, Greyhounds & humans. It seems most of the...

Don't know the cheapest place to get one but I was gifted with this camera, that works quite well for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011CC9IKC/ We gave it a good workout on a 4 week long trip out West. Love it! It came with the wiring harness & is designed to be controlled by the...

State Farm financed mine. They wouldn't finance the full selling price, requiring me to do a down payment. (I'd hope for full financing so I could sell my old van to fund outfitting of the newer one.) However, I didn't have to pay for GAP insurance. State Farm covers any cost difference if my...

Metris does come in a window van version with 8 person seating. Haven't seen it in person, but I'd guess it's not as plush as many seem to want in a minivan. If load in height is better, meaning lower, on the NV200, it must be only marginally so. To me, the floor height seemed comparable...

Haven't seen a Metris on the road. It is a good size. Hope they really do bring the AWD over.

If Ford did make an AWD version, I likely would have ended up with that instead of an Express AWD. My 2010 Transit Connect has been a pretty good car, even when we ended up driving through a snowstorm this Winter that had RWD trucks sliding off the road. (I'm in Georgia so my TC had never been...

A couple other options: Kurgo Copilot http://www.amazon.com/Kurgo-Waterproof-CoPilot-Cover-Bucket/dp/B00ACDVETG/ http://www.amazon.com/Alfheim-Dog-Bucket-Seat-Cover/dp/B00Y1YF63W/

The 2nd & 3rd row of seats in my (new to me) Chevy Express AWD van are not the best. Those are fairly easy to take in & out, which I like, but I hate the long, track rails that run lengthwise in the van to accommodate the seats. Would greatly prefer seats that just bolt to the floor, like the...

Just went through this decision process. Do I get a used Promaster or an AWD Express or Savana? I liked a lot of things about the Promaster. The steering felt loosey-goosey but it was easy to adjust to that. Overall, it seemed to handle well. We don't do any real off-road stuff but do get into...

Thanks for sharing. Am looking for an affordable AWD van that can accommodate 3 adults & 3 large dogs while being able to pull a popup camper. The AWD Express/Savana looks like a good prospect for me & here you have already done what I want. Great!
