Thanks for the replies. Hence why I asked before taking the chance :)

I currently have my Buddy heater secured in place with a bungee cord as seen below.  Is it safe to leave the bungee there during operation or no? [img=200x200]

Thanks for the input guys. Glad I asked here before going through with it!

Well I already have a rug for the floor, so the comfort/insulation factor is something I'm not worried about. Like I said water proofing, rust protection, and aesthetics. After offgassing, are there still health concerns? Never thought of that..

I was considering getting my van's floor and wheel wells covered with spray bed liner.  Rust, moisture, sound dampening, and aesthetics are the reasons that came to mind.  From what I've read, it looks like it'll cost upwards of $400-$500.  I just wanted second opinions on whether or not this is...

Van in OP fell through, they paid too much for it, and wanted me to pay too much for it, so I had to let it go. The FBI van got bought the day before I was going to pick it up. Now I have an appointment scheduled with a dealership on Monday to get either a '06 Chevy 2500 w/ 91,000 miles or an...

Like I said, I appreciate the financial concern, but I already have everything squared away in that regard. It might sound crazy, but due to my current finances, getting a loan on a van will save me money (even in the long run). I think I'm going to go with that surveillance van.

Alright, I have one last van I would like feedback on.  It's a 1991 Ford E250 for $3900.  Previously used by the government as a surveillance vehicle with apparently only 14.5k miles, but Carfax shows a NAM title, so possibly 114.5k miles with a rolled odometer.  None of the electrical in the...

There is a dealer in town I might be able to sell the lift to, otherwise I could throw it up on Craigslist or scrap it.  I'm not so concerned about being able to stand up, but rather the additional storage space it can provide.  Not sure if the APR thing is a local thing or just with my bank...

Thanks for the insight guys.  I'm going to see if they'll let me take it home for a day and I'll have my mechanic friend take a look at it.  If everything looks good I'll go back with a $2000 offer and walk away if they don't come down low enough. Edit:  Okay guys, I just came across this...

Yeah, I don't like the interior THAT much. I would definitely talk them down. One thing I forgot to mention, which is kind of a big deal, is that my bank has these stipulations on the loan where they add an extra 1% to my APR if the vehicle is newer than 2006, and another 1% if the vehicle has...

Yeah, I've spent a lot of time on Craigslist checking around, but haven't considered conversion vans until now.  I just came across this '99 Chevy Express which has a few more miles, but has a lower asking price.  I also like the interior better than the Ford.  Choices are hard!  Haha. Thanks...

Hey!  Been lurking here for a while after learning about van dwelling and deciding it's something I want to do with my life.  I spent some time at different dealerships around town and came across a 1997 Ford E150 conversion van with only 80,000 miles.  Pictures can be found here  There are a...
