    need help choosing a vehicle

    I would also&nbsp;recommend extended E350 Ford vans. If you go diesel you can get 19/20 MPG. &nbsp;IMHO the&nbsp;diesel&nbsp;is the way to go. They cost more and the fuel is a little higher, but they do last more than gas engine. I get 350,000 miles on the gas engines before selling. All...

    Limo Tint

    In GA the law doesn't&nbsp;apply&nbsp;to work vans only automobiles. If you have a bus I don't think it would apply to you. Here's&nbsp;a good link to tinting laws by state.&nbsp;http://www.tri-statewindowtint.com/us-state-tint-laws.html<br><br>"<span id="post_message_1276671247"...

    MPG in a van

    My extended E350 and E250 Ford Vans get between 11 and 15 MPG.&nbsp;I can get 12/13 MPG pulling a 22 foot boat.&nbsp;Stop and go burns the most.&nbsp;

    Any luck overnighting at 24-hour businesses other than Walmart?

    Truck stops are my choice, park away from the big rigs. Food and showers 24/7. I never stay more than 24 hours anyway.

    Oh look, an actual surveillance van for sale

    &nbsp;<span style="line-height: 20px;">I don't think they're going to sit there on a stake out without it running. Its to hot in GA, not to have the A/C running. And the lack of sweat stains on the seats back up my claim.</span>
