This is not really a buy/sell forum, more HowTo advice.

Find the right sub-forum and post

How do I start looking for a van to buy? And/or

What sort of van should I buy?

In the meantime some background info:

Try cargurus.com in your local area, within say 200-miles. For one that's already setup and used, try craigslist.

thanks for all the replys so far. i appreciate them. Ii do like the nissan high top 2500 but am concerned that its rear wheel drive and im concerned about the gas milage maybe not being good. anyone have experience with that vehicle? i was at the 2016 RTR and say Wayne Weirs set up and liked it. but am looking also to get set up with lowest cost i can but also have a very safe and reliable vehicle. its like a shell game.

As I said, starting a new thread with a specific question will get more and better responses.

Most people here prefer old Chevy vans to the Euro style.

Run this search and read the results wrt comparing the Nissan to Transit

Then change the string "Transit" to Ram or Sprinter to get comparisons to those.

These discussions repeat all the time, so reading the past ones is much quicker than waiting for everyone to repeat themselves yet again.

Frater has a useful wiki page I'm sure he'll point you to if you don't find it first.
