Thanks all for your answers. I will be checking the 2012 used one in a few days and will see if it works out. Truth to be said, it's close to a new one that I could finance with Trac lease and forget about the all around windows too... Ha... choices... :-)

Thanks awesome I got to chat with Chris. Cheers

I think I'd have to get more than 2 bikes for the deliveries and plan to tour dealers too, offer demo rides etc. Plus my bikes are really big if I keep them assembled and rideable. :-)

Hi Chris, any chance we can talk quickly about the Trac lease for an NV? I'd like to compare options. I'm new to the forum so I belive I cannot post PM. You can contact me on the my website in signature. Thanks

I'm looking at an NV from 2012 with very little miles, less than 1,000 miles... it's a high roof with glass windows and what look like factory insulation. Not the first time I buy a used vehicle so I know generally to be suspicious when it sound too good to be true. I still have to see it in person next week and will ask the usual question about maintenance (?), storage, why so few miles, if recall have been done etc. Any advice on top of that? Thanks

Thanks for your answer! Yes I saw Jon's posts and I think he's taller than me at 6f7... I started researching the hammock solution! Yes based in San Francisco now!

Newbie here without even an NV yet but appreciate the forum and did read a lot of advice. Thanks for that. One suggestion I took from other forums I go to: Make stickers so when people ask abou5 or see your NV you can send them here. Also I used to go on adv rider for motorcycle related discussion and it would be interesting to do some cross posts there as the NV is a perfect motorcycle gear head vehicle (I say that as I saw multiple pics while researching the NV with motorcycles inside the van).

My business building custom bicycles for tall people (check there if you have very tall friends : www.dirtysixer.com) brought me to the idea of getting an NV. I used to have a VW Eurovan and it of course died as they all do, and been driving a Rav4ev (electric) for a year now. I'm 6'6" and know clearly I cannot stand up straight in the high roof of the NV as I tried in person. I researched online the interior measurements and found that the Ford Transit and the Sprinter with the highest roof would allow me to stand up but I haven't test it yet in person, nor test rode these. I know legroom is going to be working in the NV, and frankly I do not want to gamble on reliability (after the VW nightmare) so that's why I'm looking at the NV only now and will wear a helmet when walking in the cargo area. My question is: does anyone made a solution to be able to sleep in the van while not building bulky bedframe? I will travel to deliver my bikes or ride so I need the cargo area free of stuff but will need to be able to sleep in (knowing that I'm 6'6"!). I even thought of a hammock! Thanks!
