We have heard arguments over whether or not a Toyota truck or a Subaru are the supreme ski machines. However, the truth is that our friend Jake Sackson has us all beat. He just bought a 4 wheel drive Ford van,diesel; that is pretty much where I stop and let Jake explain.
As he wrote on the Soul Gypsy Blog
“My dream vehicle has been a 4wd diesel van, ever since I’ve had a dream vehicle. The rig that can take me anywhere and provide shelter, and if upgraded to run on Waste Vegetable oil – do this without fuel costs. This vehicle has far exceeded my expectations and has many awesome features that a non-ambulance van would not have: RV plugs, AC outlets, an awesome heating system, the ability to circulate fresh air into the vehicle, a handy flashlight type light attached to the electric system, great exterior lights for loading in the dark, fog lights and yes it has sirens and a loudspeaker.”
