I was following this thread and wondering if anyone would mention the fact that vans are uni-body, and as such, have mild steel sheet metal rear frame rails, just like our favorite cars. Wasn't sure of particulars so kept quiet. I would agree with a camper in a heavy pick-up as well.


I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.
