Subject: RE: 2004 Ford E-350 12 pass. Van for Towing...

I have had 2 conversion vans that I used for towing and right now, I use a Chev Astro.

At one time, I thought about getting a pickup for a tow vehicle, after towing with a van, I will never own a pickup. For me, a van is the only way to go, conversion, even better.

You're not supposed to sleep at ramps, I've done it and it has not been a problem.

I used an interior roof rack to store rod and reel combos. No problem storing rods up to 9 feet long. Darn near kept a shop's worth of tools behind the last seat. Those plus the spare, were enough weight that I never had a problem at any landing I used. For late fall, I always carry a bucket of sand.

You will also find that because of a pickup's image, that you can usually find a comparably equipped van for alot less than a pickup.

I think pickups are way over-rated for tow rigs.
