Took the transit on a camping trip this weekend,the first time on a motorway.Its a swb 280 100.I really had to keep a check on my speed as it easily started to creep towards a licence loosing area,whats a comfortable non engine damaging speed to cruise at in these vans.Thanks jay

Ford Transit - Backbone Of Britain http://www.motorwise.net if you want to get on in life, its not what you know, its not who you know, its what you know about who you know
i stick to 70 but it feels slow and rough kinda,but put my boot down get up to 80,85 90 it feels silky smooth,but 80 feels right were it feels happiest.....but the fuel dissapears at an alarming rate!
On long runs like the Nurbergring and back I try to stay in the green sector on the rev counter which helps economy no end But if in a hurry cruising at 80 to 90 is easy ( SWB 130 BHP Mk 7) but economy suffers drasticaly !
