Minivans schminivans!!!!  What you need is F-250 SuperDuty CrewCab. The
bed
is 81" long (3 inches longer than the F-150 standard box) so those 2
meter
fuses fit in length wise, and the cab has enough room for 5 widebody
pilots.

Guys, just to add.  The new 2004 Dodge, and Chrysler minivans have all
rear
seating that actually folds down flush with the floor.  You no longer
need
to store the seat in your garage and use up valuable space.  When the
seats
are in the up position, the compartments that the seats fold down into
can
be used for storage.

As in Mark Atwoods set-up, which I have seen and am going to incorporate
into my new minivan when I get it, is a great idea.  Looks very neat for
those us that are very picky.

Hey Bob...

Caravans are VERY capable for that.  I have some very simple racks
(Pictures
available if you desire) that hold two 2M birds very solidly and
completely
off the floor...allowing the entire base of the van for support
equipment.
The racks are quickly and easily removed; however they're designed to
allow
the first row of captains chairs to remain IN the van and simply folded
down
when you want to put planes in.

Oh...and the new Caravans have a power outlet in the back that can be
"unswitched".

-Mark

This should be close enough to "on topic".....am considering replacing
the
current hauler, and looking at Dodge Grand Caravans....are they easily
adapted to our 2M fuses?  Are they "contest capable" vehicles??
    Possible to carry two birds, two pilots, two sets of support stuff??

Pros and cons welcome....email direct, if you like.  Thanks in advance!!
