Someone (vtwinkicker) on this forum suggested TCI Mobility in PA so I called and spoke with them. They are happy to install the top for me. I almost bought one of their 24" tops but decided that I wanted the 20" and windows so went with Fiberine. They are extremely nice and very flexible. They...

Thanks! I will ask them to completely seal the windows.

Thanks! I debated endlessly and decided to go without the additional wood support and add the liner. It's one or more less thing I need to deal with. Since I'm going to be using the van as a weekend/vacation van, I really don't need the extra shelves or storage (I hope). I had a 19' trailer...

I finally decided! I also ordered the 20" with the windows and liner! WAHOO! Now off to auction a kidney ....

I bought my van sight unseen from a dealer in a different state. I hired a reputable company to do a thorough inspection. The van checked out and I bought it. I had the van shipped to me ... as it was unloading, I noticed what seemed to be mushrooms growing on the top of the roof above the cab...

Hi all,  I have been researching until my head is about to explode. My van is a E350 cargo van but the PO opted for windows all around. I am adding a hardtop in a few weeks so the only concern I have for insulation at this time is the areas beneath the window. I have no flat wall area, just...

Fortunately, I'm 5'3" ...  :D  But I'm still debating! I prefer the aesthetics of the 20" as well ... but like the storage potential of the 24". ARGH!

I'm in the same situation but I live in Virginia (I found a reliable installer in PA). Here's an email I got from Fiberine: 24" Bubble top w/reverse flange: $2950.00 each Set of 12"x 43" half sliding windows:$750.00 Inside white liner: $650.00 For shipping, we have a packaging and crating fee...

Thanks to the folks on another forum, they let me know that there are two other high top options to consider. Both companies are in Colorado. The one I may go with is Opt Overland. Contact Dai at  [email protected]. They have a 14" and 24" hightop for Ford vans (both regular and extended). I...

What do you all think of this van for a build out?  2011 V10, looks clean, no rust (according to the dealer). Thoughts on a realistic offer? I plan on hiring a mechanic to inspect it. http://www.noelsauto.com/vehicle.asp?d=10200000&s=N2663 Thanks in advance.

Well, I decided to pass on this van. I had an inspection done by a local mechanic and he found too many issues (lots of leaks). Although they can all be fixed, I am just leery of the 130K and what other problems may arise. Besides, my brother, a car guy, told me to walk away.   :D Someone...

Hi Brian, I'll post pics after I decide whether to buy. I actually had a van I really wanted sold to someone else because I posted a link ... sigh.

A bit more info ... it is a Sportsmobile ... one owner - located in FL. He used it as a second car - occasional daily driver.  No accidents. Has couch/bed, small refridge, microwave, inverter, high top, etc. Asking $23.5

Hi all, I am considering a 2011 GMC 2500 with 130K miles. It has a high top and 6.0 liter V8 ... Any specific concerns for this model considering the high miles? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm up in northern VA. I hope to find something local if possible. If not, I'll look farther out.

Thank you sharing your story about your Dad. He was indeed a pioneer! (I liked the van too) This forum is definitely an escape for me from the daily stress. I dream of the day that becoming a nomad becomes a reality. Meanwhile, there are many good lessons to be learned here! Thanks again for...

As long as the repairs don't happen all at once, I can deal probably handle the cost.

Hello everyone, I have been lurking here for awhile and thought I'd finally introduce myself.  I am interested in full-timing if/when I can retire (in about 8 years if I'm lucky). I have a good job that I mostly like but I get the urge to run away frequently (I suspect burn out). But due to...

I spotted this on a forum I belong to: http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/f14/2002-ford-e350-camper-van-19001.html#post198112 It has just about everything I need to start camping/traveling but I'm a bit concerned about the miles.  Thought? Concerns? Thanks again for all your help on my...
