I have a 16' TC LWB... I ordered "Skeeter Beaters" but the fit isn't all that great. Anyone else have a solution for keeping their front windows open when camping (not stealth) for the sake of ventilation.

I am fairly close to being done with my conversion... will share images as soon as I upload them to my computer!

Thanks for that, greatly appreciated. Good news, found a nice deal on a 2016 XL LWB with pretty basic features: Cloth Seats Passenger and Rear Glass Security Glass Otherwise, thats it... pretty stripped down. Not even a CD player, what the heck is a CD anyway? lol Once again, the Jeep came in with an insane trade in (my second time trading in a wrangler) so my payments went from 280 with the Jeep to 166 on the Transit. A real life saver for my wife and I, considering I am a full time (key, non-working) graduate student. Picking her up Friday, excited!

Thanks! I'll have to look for that now.

Thanks for the replies. Now starts the long and arduous process of planning this build. I'd like to build a platform to have a bed sit perhaps 6 inches off the floor for the sake of storage below. My wife and I are short, I'm 5'7 she's 5'.

Hey all, new member here... First post. I've been a Jeep guy for my adult life. First a Cherokee, then two brand new Wranglers (2010 / 2015). I've been fortunate enough for the last 4 years or so to have a zero mile commute. This changed this year as I shifted my career, entered graduate school, and became an educator with a commute. My local Ford dealer offered me 23K trade in on my 2015 Wrangler with roughly 27k miles on it. That's a great value and a wonderful aspect of the Jeep (specifically wrangler brand). I paid 24 for the car. I want to order a 16TC XLT but am undecided on a wagon vs van. I don't have kids, nor is that the plan with my wife for any foreseeable future. We are in our late 20's/30's and since we are both educators we have a significant amount of time in the summer to travel. Could you drop the seats and be able to sleep on top of them? Or just purchase the van and build a nice elevated sleeping platform with storage below. Curious if any other campers / travelers are using and their rationale.

Thanks for having me, looking forward to starting this adventure.
