exrailtrack welfare/crew vans for camper

Postby colidog » Fri Apr 06, 2012 12:16 am

I've been thinking of getting one of these vans to convert into a camper but am worried that the fuel consumption will be like .I would be grateful for any advice on whether it is a foolish idea or not, any ideas on what is the best van to get ?Having just joined this forum it looks like you guys have more knowledge of transits than Ford.
thanks for any advice positive or negative on the subject

Depending how you drive expect between 25 and 35 mpg
Ford Transit Custom 280S Trend 105ps
Does this train stop on Merseyside?

you have to put it in perspective a gentleman was asking me about mpg of my van the other day "around 35 mpg" his car he said does about 60mpg :?
but you can only get one dane in a car and cant use it as a mobile kennel and his dog has eaten most of the inside of his shitty car anyway :lol: totally unsuitable
and you cant convert a car to a camper its horses for courses :D
go on buy it :mrgreen:
