    Your organization skills are top notched! Love the grey covering all over, the bed is up high, the counter is a decent length, and the maximum spacing under the bed and the cabinets. The plus was the master lock on the back door for extra security!

      @@mallorymcguire833 I get roughly 15 mpg, with the v8. I've gotten 15 mpg hiway, pulling a loaded van and trailer, well over a ton of weight. (it tows like a dream btw) The front end allows for the engine to be fully forward and easy to access, so it's practical. I appreciate that they dont appeal to everyone though.

    Nice build ,but I think you should have considered a bump out on the drivers side wall of the bed to give you some leg room so you don't have to sleep diagonally. Ideally you would have a bump out on the passenger side also but I think the slider door would hit it . Happy Trails.

    @TaxTheChurches. 4 роки тому +2

    3 questions, please: 1. You said adding the windows was expensive. How much was each one, and who installed them? . 2. How is your mpg? 3. Could you have installed a toilet/shower in the 2500 had you done away with the passenger seat?

    • @wandersinnature6942
      @wandersinnature6942  3 роки тому +3

      The windows were like $450 for the T-vents, and $250 for the regular ones. I installed them, they're made by CR Lawrence. MPG is around 16mpg with the bigger tires, which is about 17 if calculated for the size difference. The Sprinter I had for work got 18mpg in similar conditions, but oil changes were $400. Yes, but I prefer to shower behind the van and use bathrooms elsewhere...

    • @wandersinnature6942
      @wandersinnature6942  5 років тому +4

      Hi, I probably would have made some of the cabinets slightly larger to fit my clothing duffel bags better. I'm also always torn over having the bikes vertical with wheels attached, and a narrower bed lengthwise on the floor, but I'm not sure it would really work with three bikes. My Sprinter van could hold 21 bikes behind the rear sliding door, positioning them the way I did here. That's definitely the most space efficient.

    These makes have weak transmissions, expect the transmission to go out at around 100k, then you will have to pay about $4,000 for a rebuilt transmission which might go out very soon after that.Otherwise they are very good choices for a van, but a poor transmission is a deal breaker.
