WTB - SMB w/ 4 Forward-facing Captain's Chairs

[lashito]

Hi all - my family currently has a fantastic Ford EB50-style GTRV that we absolutely love. However, as the kids get bigger, and move from car seats to booster seats, I'm in search of a van with:

• 4 forward-facing seats with shoulder belts and head rests
• sleep 4, including 2 x 6' tall adults
• sink
• porto-potty

The SMB models that seem to fit the bill:
Ford RB142T or EB138T
Sprinter RB138S, EB123S, or EB152S
Promaster RB142P or EB138P

We would also consider a Outside Van or Colorado Camper with forward-facing 2nd row seats (instead of captain's chairs) if they have head rests and shoulder belts.

If you're thinking of selling one that might match our goals, please drop me a PM. I'm open to picking it up most places in the U.S. Thanks!

These are very rare, but one just went for sale here the other day.

Nice - thanks guys. Yes, that 2005 looks great, but the lower bed is too small for us 6' sleepers. Inquired about the Sprinter - curious about the rear bed size on that one too. Cheers!

If you want over over 6' lower bed and four captains chairs, you can rule out the Econolines.. I don't know if Sprinter/ProMaster will have that either.

I'd suggest the 6' sleepers go upstairs. Much nice to sleep up there anyway!

Yeah - good point. When traveling solo or as a couple, we like to stealth camp in town with the top down. It looks like those gauchos with extension cushion, even in the Ford RB, are 75", which is great for us. They do seem to be quite rare though. When that lottery comes in I'll order a new one.

I think the Sprinters are narrower than the Econolines, so if they're a dinette style bed, they'll be too short.

Yo peoples - I'm still searching for the right van to come along to replace our GTRV our family has outgrown.

Must haves:
1. Sleep 4 x 6' tall humans (kids are growing fast)
2. 4 x Forward Facing Seats with Shoulder Belts and Head Rest for Safety
3. Sink with fresh/grey tanks
4. House batteries / shore power hookup / outlets
5. Privacy / blackout shades

If you're thinking about selling one that might fit this bill, please hit me up!
