I looked into this vehicle as well because the combined city/highway MPG (30MPG for gas-only) is so appealing! A local dealer was offering the 2018 Touring Plus for $35k (new), so if you subtract $7.5k federal and $1.5k state tax credit, this being a PHEV, you end up with a vehicle (assuming...

Hi, After posting this, I came across a thread on the ProMaster Forum (sorry, can't link, but just Google "promaster reliability forum") ... reading that thread made me change my mind on the PM, so I think I'll be sticking with the Transit. Yes, I hope they've fixed the PM for the post-2017...

Hello Everyone, After months of heart-tugging deliberation and research, I've finally decided to take the plunge and start my journey into doing this van life thing that I keep reading about on this forum  :) I've decided to christen her (it?) "Vanorama" ... Having closely followed Vancity...

If you're boondocking with access to a stream/river, and don't want to pollute your ($$$) drinking water filter, but need to replenish your non-potable water for cleaning purposes, you can add a teaspoon of Clorox (Pool) Clarifier to a pail of stream water, give it a stir, and wait a couple of...

Wow, thanks for sharing your Ebay experience! Very disheartening to hear that ... I had thought these were just some very unlucky sellers, but as you too have experienced the same, I'm going to steer clear of Ebay. What you and others are saying is basically Ebay forces sellers to take all the...

I would be very wary of installing a RV-style roof fan on a *car*: i. Will make selling the car much more difficult. Unlike a campervan or trailer, this is not something that *car* buyers are looking for, or find beneficial. ii. Much increased road noise. I've a moon-roof on my SUV, and it's...

Hey Chris, I'm an EE too ... trying to sell my 1GHz VNA for dimes on the dollar here in the bay area, and even then no takers :( I am contemplating Ebay, but have been scared off by the horror stories from honest sellers on YT ... and that onerous Ebay Seller's Agreement (saying that they can...

Hi Ali(?), CarGurus is the next best thing to CL, I've found. You can pin-point filter for a specific model of van with this website, which CL lacks. If you're looking for high-roof cargo, your only choices are the ProMaster, Transit and the Sprinter. 6 wks is a good timeframe for a van...

Welcome Lisa, Wow ... Feb '19 is a year aways, so we can you're the well-prepared kind, lol, good for you! My suggestion, since you have so much time, is that you set yourself a goal of every weekend having to fill one small trash bag worth of 'stuff' -- your choice as to trash or donate, but...

Hi June, Sorry to hear of your loss ... but congratulations on being brave enough to take on this adventure and challenge! If your haven't, be sure to check out Bob's two videos or pros and cons of traveling with pets (though I don't think you have a choice, since you already are a pet...
