[QUOTE="23jayhawk, post: 510403, member: 30749"] I need some advice on a multi-purpose tow truck/bike hauler. I want a vehicle that will: [list] [*]offer easy day-trip bike transportation without pulling a trailer, and security for the bikes [*]take 2 full size bikes & full support gear (racing/camping crates) [*]pull a medium size RV (like 22 ~ 24') [*]have seating for 4 adults [*]be reasonable for daily commute of 45 miles roundtrip [/list] A supercab pickup with 8' bed would do some of that, but my riding partner isn't going to get much older & the back seat won't be big enough. And the bikes can be stolen when you stop for lunch, or do the overnight motel thing on enduro's. So I'm thinking about the full size van route, but have never owned one. (Or even ridden in one that I remember) I would appreciate any and all advice or thoughts, and I also have some specific questions: First of all, will bikes fit inside without tying down the forks? And is it a hassle loading up? I could see where the lower floor height is an advantage versus a truck, but the roof could be a head knocker. Do the extended vans have room for 2 full size bikes in back, have seating for 4, and still leave some room for a few racing & camping crates? How noisy are they rolling down the interstate at 70? Or a better question, are they comparable to a 3/4 ton pickup for interior noise? What is a reasonable service life for the the 1 ton van? I will need to buy used, and would like to get 4 to 5 years use before trading again. Thanks for any knowledge you can share. [/QUOTE]
