Hello all, I just bought a 2015 Ford Transit Connect and would like to somehow mount the spare tire on a rear door.  Does anyone know of a spare tire carrier that would fit?

Thanks for the ideas folks. If I put it in the floorboard, I'll use the marine hatch that was recommended. Still not sure about cutting the floor though. I thought I had read somewhere that the floor of a car has a special coating over the metal, and that once you cut into it, you leave it...

Oops, I ended up making duplicate threads. All because I was trying to correct "express" to say "connect". For the life of me I can't find the delete button. Oh well. It was supposed to be the other thread. Edit by moderator rvwandering: Changed the express to connect and deleted your...

Hello all, I'm aiming to buy a 2014 Ford Transit Connect to continue van life with my cat.  For the last five years we have lived in a too giant Roadtrek POS.  I installed a pet door in the sidewall of the Roadtrek.  On a hot day, I'll just run the vent fan and have his door open so air can...

Sure thing!

Redrobi, I was thinking about the trailer idea. Also, I wonder about the feasability of simply modifying a rear door to have an extended compartment behind the vehicle for the didges to be able to extend a littlw past the main body. I've also been considering cutting my instruments in half...

I'm supposed to be writing a book about the adventure, but I guess I'm too lazy. It was truly epic--trip of a lifetime. By the way, for about the same cost, or not much more, as Cartagena-Colon, vehicles can be shipped to ports as far south as Argentina from Mexico or Florida.

Thanks, I sometimes use the piezo mic while vocalizing. Vocals are a traditional part of didge playing, and can be heard and miced at the bell end, but I really like the added effect of contact micing right on the vocal chords. As for the Darien Gap, it was just my luck that on the way down...

I would like the smaller one for the better gas mileage. But after analyzing it more I realized it just won't work for me. Beyond "feel" I have specific length requirements. Out of all the musical instruments that I could have learned to play and make, I had to choose the didgeridoo, which is...

Thanks for the replies. I'm leaning away from getting something as small as the Transit Connect. The Transit 250 Long Wheel Base seems more adequate to my needs, though I guess I'll have to wait until prices come down a bit before I can afford one. Either that or a Ram Promaster. I guess I...

Thanks for the links. I'll check them out. It looks like Fiberine would have what I need. I guess I need to get clear on length considerations, though.

Great advice. I was counting on the fact that said high tops do not exist and that I would have to make one. (Also great advice about worry and the use of imagination!)

Yeah, so last night my main concern was dimensions. But after looking around online at what used models are available and at what price, my concern has shifted to the scarcity of high top transits in my price range. I could afford the smaller Connect, and so am wondering about the feasability...

After looking around a little, I see that out of the Transits, it is the smaller Connect that it is in my price range and gets great gas mileage.  So I'm wondering, why not just get one of those and add my own high top?  Everything I find online about high tops is for bigger vehicles like the...

Thanks for the replies. That is encouraging that you could stand in the mid-size and we are the same height.

Hello all, first time on the forum.  Can someone please point me to a comprehensive list of the dimensions of Ford Transits in the US?  Looking around online I am overwhelmed by 2018 models and scarce info for the relevant details, especially for previous years, which would be more in my price...
