I seem to be doing circles in my vehicle searching.&nbsp; As I've stated in numerous&nbsp; places on this forum that I'm looking for a step van, ice cream style truck, or even some school buses. <br /><br />But i fear my searching skills are sub par due to the fact that i don't know model names /types, things like that.. that would be beneficial to my searches. rather than just looking up "vans for sale" or bus for sale or step van for sale. etc. lol. . so if anyone coulld give me some model names, things like that, of step vans, RV Vans or other smaller size RV's. or small size trucks/buses, that would be great.. no i am not looking for a camper or anything like that. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"><br /><br />thanks<br /><br />John
 
Hello JohnnyGutz... I have been searching places for awhile and here is a few things I search for... travel trailer, trailer, motor home, motorhome... I kinda change up the words a bit but I see lots when I do motorhome. Hope that gives you some new things to look at HuggZ
 
I would search stepvan, step van, box truck, box van, work truck, delivery van and delivery truck. Maybe even aluminum body because I think they are usually made from aluminum. I dont know if I spelled that right but that is a good thing because you should also use mispelled words because im not the only one that spells bad or types bad. Just think of any name youve ever heard or read regarding that style truck. I hope this is what you were asking for.y
 
another to add to these terms is cutaway van.. trucks like mine are often&nbsp;referred&nbsp;to in&nbsp;that&nbsp;way<br /><br />

In what geographic area are you looking? I've got mad google skillz. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">
 
I'm looking in the chicagoland area. within 200 miles of chicago. ive looked up all of those things, and alternatives, less cutaway. id like to be able to search actual models like p30 , etc. but thats the only one i know LOL.<br /><br />
 
ah good point nuttcaze i always do the searh from the main page , hence my useless results Hahah.
 
haha wow.. thanks for looking into that, that's awesome. lots of good stuff here. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />
 
You can also try cube van or cube truck. You can also check the ones without a picture because not everyone has a camara and it might be right down the street. Also, check the entire post not just the title only using all the discriptions.<br /><br />
 
No i don't have any desire to be stealth. someone else suggested cargo trailers to me too. the only issue i have i i dont think my truck can tow that weight.. its an s10 xtreme. zq8 suspension. &nbsp; which leads to more issues.. (if i found&nbsp; out differently) I would TOTALLY get a trailer instead of a whole vehicle.

<img src="/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /> totally Lol. See? I don't even know what a "Class B" is. that is how little i know. I didn't even think, i'd probably have to "upgrade" my license if i got a different kind of vehicle. Guess that's something to consider too..
 
my truck isnt worth crap.. i might be able to get close to 3 grand for it.. if i'm lucky. but there's no way i could get truck AND cargo trailer under 3 grand without it having a billion miles, needing 1000 dollars worth of work, to get out on the road.. at that rate i might as well just sell my truck, and buy an inepensive rv for that. which was my goal pretty much anyway.
