Ended up getting a 2015 Ford Transit 10 passenger low roof van. Having a Remco Driveline Disconnect installed. I'm stoked it's the same weight and length as and newer burb and about the same price for a 2015

I think u made a good choice and u have actually added a good tool as well. Since I have switched to the "van" I love it and have never looked back.
Congrats! That seemed like a great choice, if towable.

Thanks guys! It's been great! Actually passed on the 10-passenger low roof because nobody makes a bracket for that van yet. I bought the 15 passenger medium roof T350 with the Ecoboost V6. A foot and a half longer but hasn't been an issue. We're in Micco, FL and just got it back from Palm Bay Ford. They had to replace an A/C line that was cut by the installer during the tow bracket installation. That guy was a nightmare by the way. Steer your friends away from Humphrey's Hitch in Pensacola. Guy is straight out of the movie Deliverance. I had the shop check over the rest of the work he did and luckily it looked ok. Still have a PTO cable to install which I picked up from NAPA. The stock flimsy one will barely re-engage the collar on the driveshaft disconnect. It tows beautifully behind the bus though.
Have been pulling the medium roof Transit van for the past 9 months through 30 states. It's been good! Only issues were lack of parking in the big cities with only parking garages, and the wife driving under a 7.5' high parking area with a van that's 8.5' tall. Haha
Erik,
Sounds like you had an interesting 9 months. I hope the 7.5' parking spot left the top on the van.

Glad to hear your trip has been going well, except the height issue. I hope no one was hurt and that the van is back in service.
I hope you continue to enjoy the journey. It sounds like you still have 18 states waiting to welcome you.
