We use an old Dodge Caravan. These have drip rails on them to fasten standard ladder racks to, and carry ladders on a rack nicely. We can put our 28 footer on it ok. It overhangs the front bumper a little, but it's ok.
I have two of them, and in the last 3 year's we've racked up about 75,000 miles between them. We're now in the same place you are... ONe's got 210K miles and the other isn't far behind. I'm not sure what to replace them with. We now have a bucket truck, so I'm thinking we're going to switch to a less boxy rig. Perhaps a PT Cruiser or Jeep Cherokee. Although, I"m still open to finding another manual transmission Dodge Caravan. The Caravans are hard to beat. Especially the 4 cyl manual. Even loaded with ladders and junk and driven most of the time with the foot near the floor, they manage to get 20-24 mpg. And they just keep on chugging. Should you break something, they're really cheap to fix. And I"ve been off road, through deep snow, mud, fields, you name it. The only thing the offroading adventures have done is bend the oil pan :( Bad enough to wrinkle and spring a leak... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 7:46 AM Subject: [WISPA] Service vehicle > What does everyone use for a service vehicle?
