Does the AC work that is in the dash, is there a separate one in back?
The AC in the dash does work, I have the valving setup for extreme temp.
There is also a portable 120vac AC unit that we use in the summer.
What is ceiling height in van without the roof popped up?
In the back, from the floor to the ceiling is 48 inches.
In the cab (front seats) is standard.
Is roof pop up motorized or how do you lift it?
Not motorized. Can be easily lifted and lowered by one person.
What is the max comfortable cruising speed ?
On road, I run about 60 mph. The van will easily do 80 mph. I would not do that. The torque converter locks in between 55 and 59 mph automatically. You can run 50 mph and manually lock up
the torque converter.This gives the best fuel mileage. I use the cruise control as much as possible on road.
Is it quiet enough to have a conversation or talk on phone?
Very quite. It is as quiet as any new standard pick-up.
What is behind the driver seat and before bed, the cabinets ?
Behind the driver seat is the cabinet with the control panels, then the food storage cabinet.
If we did not want the tents and some of the gear and were otherwise interested, is there any flex to price?
Yes, I would say that we have dialed this in over the years and have found that this setup and gear works very well. I would recommend to start with this setup and refine the setup for you.
Is there capability to shower and toilet?
The shower and toilet setup is in the photo of the drivers side with the popup enclosure.
Where do you cook at?
We do 95% of the cooking outside of the van.
However if the weather is so bad that we are confined to the inside we use the insta pot.
If we are in the driving mode, we will setup the insta pot on pressure cooking. After a long day of driving dinners ready with no smells or grease.
Long term cooking inside of the small space is really bad, grease, oils, and smells.
Where is the sink located?
Sink is a small portable dish pan.
Front fridge is between seats?
Yes
How much does the rig weight?
Loaded, full fuel and water, 12,000lbs
Height over bed when popup is not lifted?
About 40 inches. I am 6'3" and i can sit nicely on the couch/bed or a folding chair with the top closed..
Is the popup plastic or is it metal? Could someone easily break into that part even if it was down?
Fiberglass top. No one can break thru the top when closed.
Why are you selling it?
Tough question. We are 66 this year, and have been travelling for 10 years by train, plane, taxi, tuk tuks, and van, on road and off road, in cities and remote locations.
Thinking it is time to have a few more comforts.
What is your farthest trip with it?
We generally spend 6 to 7 months at a time in the van. Last trip was 7 months in Baja. We logged in a total of 5000 miles of which 3500 was off road
Can it burn all diesel types?
Good old diesel works best. The same around the world.
Do you think it can run on biodiesel?
If it is out of the pump at the gas station its ok. I would still use the good old diesel. The engine and injection system was design for this. I would never use an alternative out of country.
If homemade bio, never, heaters more filters, issues starting and poor performance.
