Let's talk about the new Ford Transit Van
Anything Ford Transit Van related. What up-fitters are going to build on it, gas/diesel, mileage, tire size, seats, floor plans, sizes, etc. All I ask is to keep it about the Ford Transit Van.
Forum Discussion
The Ford Transit forum mentions that they should start production in March, but no guarantees. It is one of the few van offerings that one really can't go wrong with either the EB gasser or the diesel, since both have similar power curves.
It will be interesting to compare a diesel Transit upfitted by Sportsmobile with a Webasto stove, Espar furnace, flat plate water heater, and PowerTech generator with a gasser Transit that has a propane tank, conventional RV appliances (preferably ones that can run both on 120VAC and propane), and an Onan genset.
I am also curious if the Transit can be upfitted with a second alternator. Done right with a proper charger, that would function similar to Roadtrek's "engine generator" which would provide a second useful power source for keeping the house batteries topped off.
