    Favor needed, anyone with a Vanagon or Eurovan Westy?

    Abitibi - my vanagon's canvas is 94" long at the base, 50.5" wide, the front is 44" tall at the edges an 43" tall in the center (concave at the base) and the hypotenuse (assuming a 90) - the length along the pop-top is 93.5"

    How does everyone finance a used adventure van

    I usually pay cash, but a few years ago I hadn't saved enough for the truck I wanted. I used Lightstream.com. 3% unsecured loan with good credit. They don't care what you buy as long as your credit is great.

    SOLD: 2018 Ford Transit Quigley 4x4 Camper.

    Nice, clean, simple build. Love mine! Seems fairly priced. That is what similar near new Sprinters with simple builds are going for.

    2010 4r75e 2wd to 4wd help

    Hey Josh - I think there was a hole I had to drill in the adapter on mine. Chris at U-joint told me about it. I'll see if I can find the details.

    Sprinter versus Transit?

    Yes, rides great. Just like a stock transit. I've driven a Quigley E350 and it definitely rides better than that. Think of it like a new 4x4 F150. That is how it rides. Now I have to say it doesn't have the flex in the front end that a solid axle E350 4x4 has, so in theory it might not be as...

    Sprinter versus Transit?

    I had a deposit on a 4x4 Sprinter but pulled it after I drove an ecoboost Transit and found a new Quigley 4x4 converted one on the lot at Newberg Ford in Oregon. For me it was: #1 the power. The ecoboost Transit is downright sporty. The Sprinter is no slouch, but the difference is noticeable. #2...

    Ford Transit Quigley vs Sprinter 4x4?

    I have a Quigley 4x4 Transit. I have owned an E350 4x4 SMB and have spent a few hours behind the wheel of a Sprinter 4x4. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

    ‘16 Ford E350 4x4 Quigley Van, 17000 miles. 3.7 liter V-6, 6 speed auto.

    I've had an e350 4x4 and currently have a Quigley Transit with ecoboost. I can tell you there is no comparison. It is as fast as a 6.0 or 7.3 power stroke and way faster than a 5.4, with no drama. Quiet and gets an honest 15-16mpg. The Transit is superior in every way except the fact that you...

    Van camping in -40

    My transit is gas - ecoboost. I mounted the 5-gallon diesel tank right next to the gas tank on the driver's side just aft of where the fuel fill door is. There is tons of room there. Could do a much larger tank. The fill door has room for the gas fill and diesel fill there. I used the diesel...

    Van camping in -40

    I have a Propex propane in my Westy and it doesn't do the job below 10F or so. To be honest, it is fine for camping for ski trips, but I live in my van part time, working 180 miles from home. I need to sleep well, wake up and go to work. I'm not interested in staying warm enough to survive. I...

    Van camping in -40

    I'm really curious about the gelling aspect. I know the OP was talking about a gas van, but I'm on my second gas van with an auxiliary diesel tank to run the diesel heater. I think it is a good combo for someone who is full timing in a van (I'm 3 nights per week all fall, winter and spring). The...
