Thinking about getting a van. Any advice?

Whatever you do don't get a 2003 model year Chevy express van. That year is a one off fuel tank and if the tank cracks or the filler neck breaks you'll be up chit creek or paying out the rear end for a custom tank.


I have a coworker going through this exact dilemma right now.

Sorry, I’m an older hunter. This popped up in my dusty memory banks. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QZnqhuwjqT0

When I got back off my second deployment me and my bride to be/starter wife of almost 34 years had one of these with a mattress that matched the interior that folded out into a big bed. Oh the memories.😉

Unfortunately it overheated one day blowing the head gasket, fixed it and sold it off.

Coming up on retirement for real and kinda want to do the same thing, just needs to be able to have two motorcycles attached to the back somehow.

Full sized all wheel drive transit 250 or 350. Super popular platforms. A lot of people lift them for a little bigger tire. They all have tow capacity and the high top ones you can stand up in. I’ve seen inside them all.  They go from basic with a bed and a battery powered light to all built in with full power, generators, stove tops, water, diesel heaters etc.  They’re cool.
The quigley 4x4 conversions are cool, but unless you plan to do real actual off roading, you don’t need them anymore since Ford put out the AWD transits.
Alternately look at Sportsmobile. They make some cool converted 4x4 Econoline vans but the Econolines will all be older vans now.
This one was in recently. It’s all wheel drive and a dually.
