    if you are full time Van everyday.
    you can fit in buildings parking lot, is more convenient in my opinion.

    is weak at climbing hills , other than that i love it.
    i can fit in 6.4-6.7clearance , i fit in all the tower buildings parking lots, i can park anywhere with easy , because of it`s size.
    wrap paid back in full already, i fit all the detail equipment that i use.
    get`s a good mileage /gal around 20 in city and is loaded.
    wish i got it long time ago , for marketing reasons first and usage second.

    I would say go with a van. I like to get my truck right next to the car or camper that I am working on. That would not always be possible if I was hauling a trailer.

    Cosmin. Any chance I can see the inside as I priced out a Ford transit and its a bit of a stretch but if it sets up nice I just might ... Other option is an older comercial van .

    I've been in the market for a used econoline van. I'm only looking to spend about $4k on the van. Not a ton out there is decent shape. May end up attempting to trade in my HHR SS for a newer used van. The transit is steep in price for sure.
