I am stuck with a Dodge "Sprinter" a long story but if I don't drive it I'm good
for now.Can't sell it either.
A friend just had to replace his engine,$ 14,000 and a huge tow bill.He knew
the dealer who was able to get him a new (02)Sprinter engine in only 3 months.
I am a Ford guy,the highest mileage so far for me was 750,000 and it had no
problems when I sold it.Friends do the same in the expediting business with
Dodge and Chevy.
My next van will be a Chevy as I like the extra width of the rear door opening
,durability and parts are much less than a Ford. I will get an extended 2500 as
I'm convinced after talking with other pro drivers that the tranny and rear ends
are the best in the business.I can't prove it tho.Lol .Brands are kind of like
a rabbit foot,if you have good luck you stick with that.I'm undecided on engine
options.
At two of the companies that we drove for we were warned that we would have
to replace water pumps at 160,000 miles($900)tranny at 180,000 ( 5,000) ,brakes
every 80,000 ($3000) the rotors and calipers often need replaced at each brake
job.Bare in mind we use these vans as commercial vehicles and this is only to
forewarn us to have the money and prove we have inspections done professionally
at given times.

RE: Savanna regency conversion van
Open windows a little , make some screens with magnets . And get a Fantastic Vents Endless Breeze Fan . Its 12v. and can blow air on you or pull air across you .

RE: Awnings on a B. Do you use them.
Used my awning a lot on my homemade B . But not so much on my small A . The B awning was so simple to use compared to the bigger one .

RE: Heading to Key West
Boyds Key West Campground is on Stock Island . You can take the city bus to town every 30min. . Get the week pass and if over 50 get the senior discount , must have cash for pass . There are other campgrounds on Stock Island Leos etc. , Boyds is nicest but expensive . You can get away with overnite in Publix parking lot on Key West also . Spend the day at the beach , nite at Publix . Bus has a bike rack , ride bike take bus back . HAVE FUN !
