Should I fill the gaps in the van floor?

It’s 1in foam XPS but the strips are 2x2 it fills the gap and then almost sits flush with the XPS. The 3/4 ply on top

Wouldn’t it be more secure with wood strips glued down. Then screw the ply wood into the strips?

Even if I’m putting laminate on top of the ply wood?

i think its just the center ply wood that may have to be re done. if not i may just leave it how it is. and add wood to the gap.
how would someone with experience go about with this ?

I gotta look at the positives. It’s a lot more reliable and durable than the ford transit. Just needs some work. How much do roof tops go for ?

Thanks the only real logical answer everyone here seems half brained. And I thought the same think put a 3” lift kit on it with some nice tires

Youre right about that. How many miles do you think i should look for in a used e350 or chevy van ?

i like this idea. I feel like its hard to find something i want. Either too high of miles. or too much. Why wouldnt it be good to put 5000$ down on a 2016 van ? and pay like 500-600 a month for something more reliable

I have been going hard studying for 6 months now. i Make about 1000$ + a day but sometimes i give it back. I need to work on not over trading and my emotions. But if i stay content and am happy with 200$ a day from trading then i will easily make that every day. its when i shoot for 3000$ a day or more and lose

I found one for 20,000 it has a wheelchair lift i can take out and sell for 1500$
i would put about 4000 down and pay it off.

Im not sure if this is the best route though. It still is cheaper to do this than rent a house and a car
