thank you for the view and comment. the fabric is easy to do. I'm going to tear it down and rebuild soon. just cuz I can do better now that I know what I'm doing. lol
Much appreciated, Crafty! Any suggestions welcomed. Plenty of work to do but it keeps me occupied. By the time I'm done it'll b time to get me a Transit and I'll put another driver in this. lol
Awesome organization. Very tidy and well thought out. Love it. No house battery or cooler for cold bevs? But I must say that camo is so hideous my friend! Men... 😝
Great video Thanks for the tour, now I saw a better picture on how comfortable it can be. I told Fernando as long as I can bring my pots and pans a hot plate so I can cook, I'll team up in any wheels😌 while still recovering from hip surgery he spends most of his time on expediting videos. ✌🏼️Be Safe
Hey Buddy I like your set up on this cargo van I know it’s old and the new videos you’re using a transit but would you still have the dimensions length and width including length from behind front seats to back door by chance
can we see you remove the bunk that's exactly what I need. Did you ever do the other side and could you still fit 2 full-size pallets in the van with the bed?
Alex Babilonia depends on how good it looks and how well it runs. also depends on the company you lease on with. are you looking to become an expediter? are u on facebook?
Hey man I know this vid is old but question: were u still able to fit 3 pallets with the bunk there? How wide was the bed? Thats the setup I am wanting to use myself if I can.
The total cargo length without the bunk is around 127". I could fit two 48 x 48 x 48 pallets without lifting my bunk. When lifting the bunk I could get 3 40 x 48 x 48 pallets. The height is what will get you the most not length. The bed was roughly 30 inches wide.
@@EverythingApax I am looking at buying one, it would be the extended one. The sprinter vans are closer to $40k and up it seems, so for about $15k I can at least get in the game and then work my way up.
Thank you, Christine. I eat out mostly. There are times I'll make something using the microwave and things in the truckstop. In the near future I'll be buying a slow cooker. once I do I'll do a video. Thank you very much for viewing!
With a 1500 you're limited on the freight you could haul. There are companies that have u deliver packages/mail. Prestige is one. Look on Craigslist under transportation. Locations are all over. If you're in need of more info just ask.
Thank you, Methos. Subbed your channel as well. Looking forward to watching your videos after I deliver in the morning. Any questions or comments Appreciated.
I'll be doing cooking videos to lose weight and post it. I will be getting a rv or a van depending on what I find. Saving still lol ☺ being on a pension u don't make much to save haha 😝 Take care 😎
didnt realize ya bought the 5 in 1? how much and when? why the back of your drivers seat got tares in it, lol. you getting rambunctious while you sleep?
On my newest builds I use 11/32 plywood for the subflooring from wall to wall. Then I use 23/32 plywood between the e tracks. If you don't want subflooring then use only the 23/32 plywood. I have a newer video talking about the floor only.

Cool setup here Allen. Keep the videos coming and be safe out there.
Nice tour & setup! I'm very impressed with your shelves & how organized you have them!

+Everything Apax The transits are nice. You gonna get the diesel? That the way to go ... have other people making you money too 😉
+TheCraftyTrucker I have another van now and hope to have another this year. Gonna eventually give myself room to move when I can get a Transit.
Something else you could use it "speaker carpet", it's thin and easy to work with, use that 3M spray on glue, easy peezy lol
Video Magic Tv . com cycle cruza huh?
look at you and getting better w/ the editing, good job maaan!!
it's fun. lol need to do another soon.

like the bunk....going to put one in my sprinter. just 2x6 and plywood?
I used a 4x8 sheet. cut it 32x54 I believe. obviously since you're in a sprinter you have more width. cut it to fit your comfort.
Well organized. Thank you for the video. Have a blessed day.
Well it's simple but it looks comfy and it works and that's what you need 😁
Annette Smith it's functional. Lol. The bunk is comfortable.

I dig the bunk, ya got any plans on that ya wanna share? shelfs are great too
you have a nice setup I love the selves and the bunk 😎👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks, E-trav! I'm happy with it. Gives me something to fiddle with.
Everything Apax yes you have to keep occupied while waiting for a load
Awesome March I'll be on the road would love to chat with you sometime
Did you get on the road?
thank you, Methos
A very good and informative video sir.
I think it was a good idea. I was thinking why didn't you use a pickup truck with a enclosed trailer??
using a van is more economical. there are people that use that as a means to transport freight but not off the load boards we operate under.
Thanks Allen for the Videos
it's becoming more and more fun fun to fun to do them. thx
Hopefully the ford transit is just as good to you as the
E series . which one you plan on getting?
I have a 2016 GMC Savanna extended. In 2021 do you think I could make money with it?
is the e350 still a viable option to get into expediting or should i just get a transit
great video . how old can I buy a cargo van like yours . 2005 06 can you help me with the info.thanks
Alex Babilonia depends on how good it looks and how well it runs. also depends on the company you lease on with. are you looking to become an expediter? are u on facebook?
What do you do for Heat and AC during the Summer/Winter Months? when not driving of course...
Allan,thanks, heat???
Very lil room for cargo it looks like

@jamoe4802 you're welcome. You have a e350?

So do you live in the van? Do you eat out all the time? Didn't see food prep stuff. Enjoyed your video.

7 years later, how did this van treat you? have you moved onto the sprinter style vans?
Yes, I've got 3 Ford Transits and 1 E350. The E350 has 930k with the original engine. *knock on wood*
Apax you said you use the van to make money? HOW???? Thanks in advance.
I'm an expediter. I'm basically a truck driver in a van. you'd lease on with dispatch service to find loads for you.
Any websites or leads? I have an express 1500, are all the loads heavy? I am based in Phila. Thanks
With a 1500 you're limited on the freight you could haul. There are companies that have u deliver packages/mail. Prestige is one. Look on Craigslist under transportation. Locations are all over. If you're in need of more info just ask.
BIG SMILE
Which load board do you use ? Do u Driver local or long tour ? Do u need a log book?
I’m long distance. I’m not on a Load board my dispatch is. The most popular board is sylectus
Thanks for the awesome video

How did you do your floor, what thikness did you use?
On my newest builds I use 11/32 plywood for the subflooring from wall to wall. Then I use 23/32 plywood between the e tracks. If you don't want subflooring then use only the 23/32 plywood.
I have a newer video talking about the floor only.

Very welcome!
Also Apax is this your cargo van preference or is there another make and model that you would prefer?

Depending on the money you need to earn will determine if you can RV as well. I believe that it’s doable.
What does that mean..expediting...?
Transporting time sensitive freight. we call ourselves expediters.
Unbelievable...551k on a gas engine.
