I've looked at them but the 'Boss' says it's too small (much like our Ventura "B". No doubt Ford is going to sell a ton of these vans for all purposes. Probably will make a nice "B" Class RV or a Touring Van.
They do look pretty 'light weight' compared to a Sprinter based RV like a View. The bottom line is really two fold. Does it serve your needs without undue hassle? And, what is it's Occupant & Cargo Carrying Capacity? It can be a 'peach' but if it has the OCCC of a paper sack, it might be a consideration.
