Hey guys, just thought I'd say hi. I've always been a Ford guy and have had a lot of different Econolines with every engine.

My latest purchase was a 2015 Ford Transit HD with the 3.2 Powerstroke!

I originally bought it for work but I'm now thinking of making half work and half play?

I hope to stick around!

Welcome: Please be sure to post some info on the mpg of your diesel.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

I'm only on my 3rd tank and I'm getting around 19.5mpg. I have a ton of tools and it's pretty "hilly" around here (Monterey Bay area).

I expect the mpg to go up as the honey phase is over lol!

How will you use it for play? Are you going to do some mods?

At the moment, I'm thinking of doing a Brian Lopes Sportsmobile build? This way I have a garage in the back of the van and I'd have living quarters up front.

I did this similar build with a E 250 I have but didn't like the interior height.

That sounds really cool. You'll have to post up some pictures to show us what you end up doing in the end. Sounds like a fun way to travel.

Definitely!

Here is a before pic for you guys. My build would be 9-10 months out, so I wouldn't have an after until 6/15 lol!

My wife and I live in California and are planning on getting a LWB EB Transit to convert for a pleasure vehicle.

Hoping to find something off the lot that will meet our needs.

That configuration will have to be high roof as well. I'm guessing you'll want some creature comforts like cruise control etc, so my guess is there will be very few sitting around on dealer lots . One reason my dealer was so cautious with my order details was that he figured if they screwed it up causing me to back out they might never find another buyer.

Is your dealer one of the lower volume dealers around?

I was just assuming that the market for the high roof extended body would be expediters requiring the volume but wanting to keep purchase price down so limiting the luxury options.
