We got a QuadVan based on Dale’s recommendation. We where the 2nd or 3rd Transit to get the QuadVan Gen 1 treatment ever and had the Gen 1 version for first 1.5 years. Just a few months ago we drove Gidget up to Portland and had QuadVan turn it into a Gen 2. We have had 2 issues with our QuadVan before the Gen 2 upgrade:

• Front sway bar rubbed against the front right axel when fully turned and would make a high pitched squeal
• When getting the above looked at by a mechanic he discovered our CV boot on the front drive line ripped off, we didn’t even know

Both issues were fixed by a shop in San Diego and QuadVan paid for it under warranty. If you can get John from QuadVan on the phone he is super helpful, just need to be able to reach him. John is very intelligent and makes a great product. But it’s a small shop and they don’t have multiple staff members just taking care of customer service issues like Quigley does.

I’m happy we went QuadVan, but I can understand why others don’t.

Dale at Newberg Ford told me he quit selling Quadvans after most had issues and was hard/impossible to get warranty work done. How has the quadvan be ern working for you? Did you get gen 1 or gen 2? Thnx!

I’m keeping my improvements modular and removable as this will be the nicest work van this cabinetmaker ever had. We have med. roof with side to side bed in the rear window wells where a full size mattress fits. Domestic cooler style fridge, campmor propane stove, anxiously awaiting the passenger “couch” as I have four grandsons. See you on the road!

QuadVan and Quigley are $13,000 last I heard. I would call to find out.

I think the rear differential is the lowest point.

Any idea what it is at the lowest point on the rig?

The ground clearance varies depending on how and where you measure it. It is better than stock.

Still looking into wheels.
