So my Ford F150 is good but, since I'm retired, I'm getting more to where I want to sleep a night or two quickly and easily for when I'm fishing or hunting. If you own and use one of these, would like to know a few things to hopefully make it good for me. I am pretty confident that it's going to work well (looking for the short length, tall side and AWD). And I am going to make it only for sleeping, it won't be a "full" RV. I won't need a toilet or shower and will only need good insulation and venting so I can heat/boil some water for freeze-dry food and coffee. I may also put in a small TV and a few other things. So here's some things I'd like to hear from you:
1. Is there a reason you got a Transit or Sprinter over the other one? I am a bit more on the Transit but may consider the Sprinter still.
2. How does yours do with towing, ideally on a boat/trailer at least 3,000 lb about 25' long.
3. How does it do offline on semi-rough roads, possibly with snow. I generally go to off-roads that have a gate and go hiking in for hunting.
4. Did you find someone around the Portland area that did some upgrading for "camping" inside? Again, I don't want a full RV, but I need insulation, cover, fan/vent, etc. I could likely do it myself but if there's someone that can do it quick and good, might want to have them do it.
You can just post some items about what's good or bad with yours if you have or had one. But also, I am in the West Slope/Raleigh Hills area (97225, off Canyon Road) and I would be very happy to take/buy you a lunch if you could pick me up and show me how yours is.
Thanks for any help on this. I am highly confident it's going to be good to have one of these, just trying to ensure that I get it to me in the best format/options.
