Howdy, Stranger!   Used conversion van for "band van"?
minorplanetsminorplanets Posts: 1 edited March 7 in Ford My band
needs a van for 'light' touring several long weekends per year
and one longer trip per year (two weeks).  My wife (yes
rockstars can be married), insists I do my research before I
sell her beloved "Sparkles" to get this.  I have about $5500 and
want something that won't break down too much, gets decent gas
mileaage and has room for our equipment (we don't have a lot,
like Marshall half-stacks just drums, 3 amps and 3 guitars.)
There are 5 of us.  I'm thinking:  Ford E150 Chateau/XLT maybe
move the seats up a bit in the back and use a cargo rack for
duffels etc.   Dodge 20 someone is selling for around $5000
Questions: How many miles can a good conversion van go in its
life?  What is a realistic expectation for gas mileage 6/8 cyl?
Do they break down a lot or is it per the individual vehicle?
What color should we get? (if you're interested)     •
