2018 Ford Transit 350 Highroof 148" wheelbase 9500 GVRW cargo van insured as personal vehicle. $78/month $500 deductable.

This. If I hadn't found a factory high top, I was going to these guys.

Another thing to consider are traction mats. I use GoTreds but any will work. I like gotreds because the are foldable/stackable for storage and are durable enough to use as adjustable height leveling blocks. Lifetime warranty as well. They are on Amazon or at most off-road shops. No affiliation...

Saw that video, very Westfalia-like. I like the idea but too much money. I just got a Transit I'm building out, more my size. It was funny watching everyone pushing it up the rock ledge. I also liked the drawer style fridge.

I was unable find what I wanted, wound having to order it and wait. Had it a week and just getting started with the build.

What does it weigh? Fuel mileage might be severely reduced depending on weight. That said, if I hadn't gone with a high top van,a stepvan was what I wanted. Straight square walls.to build on. Roll up door or swing out doors? Roll up doors are very noisy while driving and allow a lot of dust...

Only issues i see with the small pellet smokers is space/storage and size of hopper for pellets.

I'm going to miss the hell out of my Traeger pellet grill/smoker when I go full time. They offer a tailgate model I'm considering but space, so little space haha Edited to correct the auto-corrections...

The above link is good info. I just got a Ford Transit High Roof on Saturday. Too soon to give an endorsement but it was the only choice due to interior height. I'm 6'2" and with any amount of floor and roof insulation/finishing the others would be too short. My final decision came down between...

Thanks everyone, my quandary is do I try to maintain a "KISS" strategy and go van only or do I complicate my existence with toys/entertainment I can live without but enjoy. I have a terrible habit of convincing myself things are necessary while knowing they are not. Part of my reason for...

I'm in the process of building out a van for the 2019 RTR and hopeful full-timing it shortly after, and would like to pull a small trailer with UTV/sideXside.  The weight is well within the vans capability.  I realize that having a trailer will limit some locations I go and add some...

A closable, screened vent from the bottom of the van will allow both convection air flow and for the fan to draw from the coolest air available (shaded under van). Installing it under/behind your fridge if you have one will offer dual benefits. I'm in the build process but will have closable...

I just went through this myself. GMC extended with 6.0 then add hightop or Ford Transit with Ecoboost/3.73 and factory high roof. The Ford makes 400ft/lbs @ 2500rpm and the GMC makes 373ft/lbs @ 4400 rpm (Chevy site says @4200rpm, same motor so cannot explain the disparity). The Ford is already...
