Default Re:We are using a Ford van E-350

After our first trip there are a few things I would want to add.

We are a family of six with three parents that sometimes travel with us on our day trips. So we bought the 12 passenger van but chose the small V8 and the differential for better economy. The van by itself, even fully loaded, has never felt underpowered.

We have the 3124KB (so we can sleep six to ten depending what we do with the king bed and couches). We headed to the hills for our first trip and I was surprised at the substantial loss of speed going up hills. The engine was clearly working very hard to keep the speed up. I bellyached about the loss of speed and Kelly replied that a lot of people are towing these with V6's; we just need to get use to going slower up hills. And I was ready to go shop for a new V10. ;D
