    BTW, can Ford car/truck dealers everywhere service and repair the Transit chassis yet?


    I would not worry about that part of things. Ford has sold a great many transit vans already—almost 120,000 last year in America. (That's Transits, in their various forms, but not Transit Connects.)
  • I wonder what it's CCC is?

    I don't know, but I suspect that it's very limited. The gvwr of the Ford Transit is a maximum 10,300 pounds; I'd want to weigh the rig with fluids, optional equipment, and two occupants while it's on the lot; I would not rely on a manufacturer's numbers being accurate.
  • It sure looks pretty - a real highway queen! (In those photos there appears to be a lot of loose stuff to put away before breaking camp!)

    I wonder what it's CCC is? (I didn't see many outside cabinets to put CCC stuff in anyway!)

    I wonder what it's tank and battery capacities are?

    It's sure low to the ground ... makes it kindof tricky to go off pavement for modest boondocking.

    Boy ... I hate to see the good old heavy duty Chevy 3500/4500 and Ford E350/E450 van chassis fade into the sunset.

  • Had a look at this website earlier today. We have the fore - runner on a Ford F350 chassis. I certainly like ours better than the new one.
    With the new model one person would have to crawl over the other to get out of bed. Those chairs don't look particularly comfortable to me and the table is small and looks like it came from Ikea. The bathroom is a lot smaller than ours - which is a real selling point with all the floor space.

    I hope Leisure Travel Vans do well with this - they build a quality unit, but this new one doesn't do much for me. I think we are spoiled with our Regency model.
