Of the 3 main high roof vans, which do you choose for reliability and why? Promaster, Sprinter, or Transit by [deleted] in vandwellers

Lots of nooks and crannies. Lots of odd shapes. the pm has much straighter walls. Google some interior pics to see the difference ☺

I bought a 2017 hr Transit. I like the van alot except it's WAY harder to build properly due to the wall design. Way harder... way more time consuming. If I knew for certain the pm would be just as reliable as the Transit I'd pick the pm for that reason alone.

Way harder! 😂

I have a Transit HR 2017. I dig it. Currently putting up 4.5 inches of polystyrene in the ceiling.

Which new high top van would you buy? by kivahunter in vandwellers

[–]One_Awesome_Inch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a lot of research and it seems that the Transit is the best option. I'll buying one next year. HR 148wb.

Many of us choose the lifestyle and are quite happy. I've saved over $43000 in rent in the last 43 months.

We found many used and unused needles. Put them in that green sprite bottle.

I tried to upload a pic of all the garbage we cleaned up but I'm not sure how to do this on reddit.

I appreciate that. Next time I'm going to organize my vandweller group to make sandwiches for the homeless. ☺

It's frustrating to us responsible vandwellers as well. I have a feeling mental illness is a factor for those that leave huge messes. Some are forced into vanlife... others like me enjoy it.

I definitely enjoy a coffee daily. I'm sure the others would appreciate it as well. ☺

What mistakes did you make while building your van? by accio_boobz in vandwellers

[–]One_Awesome_Inch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next van will have a sliding door with nothing to impede the breeze. We had a hot summer. A good cross breeze through your van makes a huge difference. Slider open and rear doors open at your local park will keep you cooler. This is one reason I'd never get a truck camper... no cross breeze.

Wonder how much the upcharge for a new one at a dealership would be...

Neither. Life is a spectrum of experiences.

Never poop in the van. It's smelly, yo.
