Hi Bob and all --
You might keep an eye out for used shuttle service vans (Ford 10 to 14
passenger ONLY – E350 chassis. Other vans do not have the space nor the
sturdiness). I used to drive for one, and although the vans might have half a
million miles on them when sold, they were almost perfect from a mechanical
standpoint. The interiors were done, but that is not a requirement for
hauling / storing modules and might even be a plus. The new owners of the
outfit are going to change out vans every two years (about 200,000 miles), and
that might be more of an industry standard. In any case, these vans usually
sell for next to nothing and might be a good solution for the modular type
clubs.
Have fun!

.... It also takes 6-8 vehicles to transport all
the items. We're thinking of obtaining a trailer to start hauling the
bulk of the modules, due to the high cost of SUV type vehicles and the
eventual downsizing of them...
