maurer, NADA shows used whsle 4,860. and retail 6,750. on the conversion. NADA also indicates the average mileage range for '97 vehicle 30 - 35 thousand. Miles on the prospective van should have a significant adverse impact on the value of the van. Check Edmund's on chassis value and look closely at mileage adjustment. Jerry

#99 of 371 Starcraft Van Purchase by cdtretta Aug 28, 1999 (4:32 pm)
I purchased a Chevy Express 1500 with a Starcraft Heritage conversion package with upgrades. What a terrific van. It's more stable than my minivan is, and has TONS of room. We considered the 1999 ford Windstar SEL, the Astro AWD with conversion, and ended up with the 1500. What a beast! 6500 lbs towing with the 5.7L and 3.73 locking diff. Inside it has the full wood trim package, leather IBS seating, TV/VCP etc. My concerns with it at this point are with the painting from Starcraft. The striping is just starting to peel, and the front bumper has a couple of chips in the paint already. If the quality of that paint was as good as chevy's, it might not have happened. I bought it from Galles Chevrolet in Albuquerque. Good people to deal with. E-Mail me with any questions.
#100 of 371 '99 Dodge Van Purchase by drstan Oct 06, 1999 (5:05 pm)
Hi, We're in the Houston, TX area and are looking for a van conversion. We love the Ford E-150 Legend but it won't fit in the garage..too long. We found that the Dodge 1550 SWB will fit and is outfitted by Legend also. We're not big fans of Chrysler products so if you've had any experience with the Ram 1500, V-8 please let us know. Thanx, Terri & Stan Furce.E-mail drstanswbell.net

I would certainly ask the people who did the job (or was it you?) A "new" engine may need some break in, depending on the specifications to which it was machined, hardness of the rings/cylinders, etc. How many miles are on it? I would expect the oil loss to drop off after 3-5k miles if it was due to the necessity for break-in. guitarzan Community Leader/Vans Conference
#103 of 371 Bad Weather Handling by adomer Dec 08, 1999 (4:09 am)
We're tired of minivans and are considering moving to a conversion. I notice they are all RWD with no traction control available. Can anyone comment on handling in snow/ice?
#104 of 371 adomer by jboater Dec 08, 1999 (5:00 pm)
I live in suburban Detroit and drive a '97 Ford/Coachmen. I generally find that driving in such conditions is not a big problem. You'll want to have a good set of all season mud and snow tires to maximize traction and minimize hydroplaning. Be careful too, on slick road surfaces with strong cross winds. The full size vans have a lot of sail area for the wind to push on. My personal experience has found that the short wheel base vans are less stable than the long wheel base. Jerry
