[NSRCA-discussion] Matthew Finley ( PATTERN TRANSPORT VEHICLE )

[Atwood, Mark]

I’m on my 9th pattern Chrysler Caravan starting with a 1990. The last 3 with stow and go seating.  Never had any serious problems with any of them.

Hello All !!


Off the cuff question.....


I am starting my search for a NEW USED vehicle for RC transport, primarily pattern planes, and etc....


I currently have a 2002 Ford Windstar with 270,000 miles, and I would trust it do drive across country now, however the frame is rusting a bit, and the poor thing is tired..... I am thinking around the first part of summer to acquire a new set of wheels. Since Ford no longer makes any kind of minivan other than the transit, or something IMO ugly, I think I may break the family history and go with something other than a FORD..... I believe I have made the decision to focus on the Dodge Caravan with the stow and go seats, and the knowledge that many D4 fliers own them. Is there anyone out there that has had bad experiences with the Caravan ?? What ever vehicle I do purchase, I believe I will pay the little extra money to get it undercoated due to the salt issues with Ohio and Michigan driving.


Thoughts ???? Suggestions ???
