I looked at the referred to site and was pretty impressed. My reason for looking at a transit is for camping and this guy seems to put together a nice unit for a decent price. I have always done my own conversions and will probably do that with a transit also, although given the prince Kevin is quoting, it might be worth just having it done. Is there anyone on this site who is familiar with converting a Transit into a small RV? I would really like to see some pictures and floor plans. I am new to this site and look forward to exploring it.
I am concerned also about Ford's no trailer towing recommendation. This seems like typical manufacturer CYA stuff. I was really irritated to see it and have experienced it with other vehicles I have owned and been interested in. My practice has been to ignore the recommendation, look at the specs for the same vehicle in Europe, and follow those. Typically the U.S. version has all of the frame hitch mounting hardware installed anyway so in their manuals they say no hitch, but in their vehicle they are implying, go ahead.
