I've been pushing for an amberlamps for years, the wife won't let that fly. I could get one locally for cheap, but no go. Only reason we have a TT vs a RV is once you get to camp, you just about have to bring a 2nd vehicle or drive the RV everywhere. In a wheeling situation that's fine, but we camp a lot more than I wheel.
The Sub is close enough to a van for me. A full (or queen?) air mattress fits perfect in the back with room for some gear in front. I have this weird thing about a 2wd tow rig, so any van I looked at would have to be a 4x4, and a decent one is $$. I would rock one daily though.

I have thought of getting a big ole van also but the wife said a pickup would better fit our needs for working on crap around the house.

That's what mine says too!!
1) They cost ALOT more
2) I think a van would have more room in the back!!

wow, that looks really similar. I never realized you rocked a purple van.
1994 Dodge 3500 extended. 360 gas, auto. Got 10mpg towing?
I used it for a while til I bought my Megacab. It got the job done.
Seeing yours made me think back to the good times with mine.

I wish mine was a 4x4, I got it stuck in the driveway and busted a ujoint in the mj unsticking it the day I left for WF. It needs at the very least an lsd. If I take both seats out I can fit sheets of ply or drywall easily, I did that summer 08 while helping my parents remodel a stairwell.

I too considered getting an E-series back in the day, because I could find a diesel van for about half of an apples-to-apples diesel truck. I opted for the truck so I'd have the option of pulling a goose if I ever wanted to. (I ignored the fact that at the time I didn't have enough driveway to even park a big trailer.)
Turned out once I had a truck I used it for all kinds of stuff, I can't imagine not having one now. You can put a bunch of crap in a cargo van but sometimes it's a lot easier to load into a pickup bed and you don't care if it's dirty.

I love how they redesigned the outside from the older style Dodge vans, but didn't do much on the inside.

Truth, but i REALLY am not looking to get into a payment book again for quite sometime. And besides i already have a 12 FT utility trailer if i need to haul mulch or rocks.
The price is the swinger for me. Just have to get the wife on board lol
That's a mirror not a T.V.!!!!!

Just scored a Mopar gas tank skid and t'case skid for the ZJ from the Jeep junkyard. I know they're not as beefy as aftermarket, but I only gave $50 for the pair.

Old van '96 7.3 PSD, 4.10 geared
New van '06 6.0 PSD, 4.10 geared
No tuners needed. New one will tow anywhere at the speed limit, old one dropped to 45-50 in a couple spots through Colorado.
