I'm new, trying to find a particular thread / article

Hi all,

I'm jumping into my design phase and was looking for a thread / article I read here the other night that broke down the key differences between cargo vans. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

No, but that's handy. I'll dig into it more. Someone broke down the differences between Dodge, Ford and Chevy along with some great info on the pitfalls and differences between models, years, engines, etc.

The videos are a definite trend, many more people watch the videos than take the time to read a blog post.

It's like a tipping point has occurred in human comprehension. 

You could also pose the question on the van section. As long as people stay civilized, it is a good idea for discussion. It's really all about your budget.

Welcome to the CRVL Forums    

Below (first link) is how I did mine.  I can quickly remove everything to convert it back to a Cargo Van if I need to haul something...then just as quickly convert back to my "RV" of sorts. 

This is a dimension worth considering.  You may leave the bed in and remove everything else....such that if you find a job along the way where you would be paid to  transport a small load "pdq" you could always sleep in the Van and take care of your other needs elsewhere.  (like at any of the national chain Gyms you would have a membership to...and buy deli foods etc)

There is a method of thinking closely tied to minimalism & resourcefulness you'll soon be learning about.   I learned about them a long time ago and it has effected my Designing.  (to the tune of "less is more")

All the best and I hope you enjoy every minute of this !
