I bough a Transit Wagon 8 passenger and will be removing the third row seating. The transit is an amazing van compare to the Econoline. The first short trip I took in it got 19.1 mpg with the Ecoboost engine. Around town it is getting 18. Very comfortable ride. Two small beefs, it's almost impossible to get a beverage out of the cup holder without hitting the transmission lever and the arm rest on the door is rock hard, same as they were on the Econoline and your elbow gets sore real quick, I'll be padding that soon. We are doing the same thing, making a basic camper van out of it.
