We just sold our old van. We have worked out of this van over 5 yrs. I enjoyed building this van and rebuilding it every year.
We paid $6500 for it 5 yrs ago and it was the best money I ever spent. It had 195,995.0 o I sold it. It never ever broke down on us.

Vans can be used. I don t want to start a big battle over this because of fumes and SH but if done properly the van is a good choice. If I didn't need to use a truck for the winter season I would have bought another van in a minute.

I'm getting it for the ability to keep the insides out of the elements, like a box truck but smaller. Keeping the fumes vented properly is the first thing I'm going to do.

Zack just ventilate it . I did manual vents so as I was driving it was ventilting. I also ran a power fan on the roof.

My current tanks I have venting under the truck so they don't corrode everything. Just ran a tube from the cap, is that along the lines of what you did?

No.. I put a roof vent on top and drilled vents on the bottom of the van. Kind of like the vents on an enclosed landscaping trailer so the gasoline fumes from the mowers can get out and I also put a 12 volt fan on the roof wired to a switch so it could run.
But I would also vent the tanks down through the floor also. I will try to find a few pictures

I exhausted the PW and compressor through the floor
Thanks for the pics Brian. I just ordered a bunch of parts to seal and vent my chem tank through the floor of my enclosed trailer. After talking to you, I am also going to install a power vent in trailer. SH fumes are sooo corrosive. I already have surface rust popping up inside my 8 month old enclosed trailer.

Like told you the other day that the trailer companies usually have landscape package and it is venting that works while your driving..
