Everything else is too big

Hi @Bikersmurf.

Are you saying big for like parking, and driving? I actually like the space because we won't feel all cramped. We are two adults, and two cats. We also want to set it up in a way that if we end up having a child we could stay on the ambulance.

Buy the one that doesn't have the 6.0l diesel engine.

1) I’d overlooked the 6.0... I’d not want one.

2) sounds like you want more space inside and are willing to give up easier town driving.

That make sense. I. do prefer to be able to drive in the city. Thank you for advising me in not getting the 6.0, during my reattach I did saw that they tend to have tons of issues. Cheers!

I drove a truck that was roughly the size of a city bus up and down every street and lane way in this city for years, so I'm not too concerned. That said, with that experience behind me, my E350 is like a minivan... on steroids. It's small, maneuverable, easy to park in a regular space... and will cruise along at 85 mph all day long.

I'd run with the FL60 wheeled coach ,you'll be glad you did merely for the room and load carrying capacity......we used a forestry hotshot buggy for our build look it up in the classifieds section

Thank you. How is it as far as reliability, and being able to drive around the city?
