vans for hauling bikes
Anybody have any suggestions?
I'm wanting to get rid of my truck and pick up a cargo van or something and install something like this:
http://www.pit-bull.com/Merchant2/me...ode=TSkawasaki
It needs to be big enough to haul 2 bikes somewhat comfortably.
I've been looking at some vans, and there appears to be a million different varieties of them, so I was wondering if anyone here had any input?

we have a customer with one of the larger sprinter type vans and you could fit a few bikes and plenty of people in one, also heard it gets pretty good mileage

Re: vans for hauling bikes
I don't want anything too big, I don't need to haul an army of bikes, just two.
I am leaning towards one of the Express vans:

Has anyone had any experience with one?

We've borrowed a sponsors E150 before and fit 2 bikes and 2 50's plus a cooler and 2 suit cases.
I kinda wanna get rid of my f350 and get a E250 diesel and throw some 20's on it. Seen a couple like that and they look pimp. You also don't have to worry about people climbing in the back of your truck and stealing **** out off your bike or it getting rained on or unloading it everyday.
Do it!

those are pimp and there are a bunch of stunters with those. E-dub from OM has a 150 class van and he fits 2 bikes and tools in there no problem.

Re: vans for hauling bikes
oh, and theyre pretty much just like looking at trucks. they got extended and normal size. i believe the motors are the same as the trucks as well.
if you get the extended you'll be better off.

Re: vans for hauling bikes
I got rid of my E350 a while back. and Ive gotten 2 gix 600's in it, and a 636, 2 in back one up front.
Cooler, tools, and a place to put our gear... best part is the lift on those things.. Dont even gotta break a sweat

Re: vans for hauling bikes
I have a e150 conv van I bought to haul my bikes. I can fit one in it with the capt. chairs still in. I put the bike between them. I can put two in comfy with the capt chairs removed. My old 300ex would fit in their with the capt. chairs still in and the back doors still shut. (5.0v8) I get around 17-19 mpg hauling two bikes the gear, 2-3 people and all the **** stays dry.
