That’s what I have is a transit with the high roof. I love it! So nice to stand up inside to get what I want/need. With the high roof I was able to build me a little pipe rack on the driver side above the top trays of the shelving out of pvc tubes to hold copper pipe in one, all my pvc and pex in one, and then strut and all thread in the other.

It looks nice Clubin!
It's obvious we are an older group, when we were young we got excited about building fast cars that looked cool and you could hear coming 6 blocks away. Now putting insulation and a floor in a transit van get's us going. I have no use for a van but I have to admit I had visions of installing the new Milwaukee storage racks in your van and filling it floor to ceiling with tools in Packouts.
I spent last weekend redoing a bunch of tool storage in my shop. I got rid of 1 of my 4 toolboxes and implemented a 7' toolbox under my front workbench. I smiled for 2 days while I was setting it up. When if finish it up I'll post some pics.

I have a 17 sprinter high roof too. But wasn’t convinced it would start on the first -35 morning we get. My sprinter doesn’t like the cold starts. It has espar heater for the coolant, but the “block heater” is an inline heater that doesn’t do much.
Anyway. Todays progress. Got some shelving together. Bins put together.

Nice. Ya, I don’t have to worry about those kind of temps. Maybe -15°f but that’s rare. The last couple of years we’ve hit the negatives maybe 1 or 2 days. But that’s it. I like that bulk head and those front bins.

Looking good. I like your finished roof. Everything looks very finished and clean.

How’s the transit build coming? Very curious to see the finished outcome.

Looks good! I’d like to see some interior pics. I love the shopping part to stock a new truck. All new parts and tools.

I just got a new furnace and Heat Pump in November and so far I've been really happy with it. My cousin is my Plumber / HVAC guy and I've done business with him and his dad my entire life. They sell and service Rheem products which has always treated me well. How does Rheem compare to the York line of products? Better, worse, or around the same level of quality and performance.

There are two types of customers for me 80% who want me 20% who want a particular product. There isn’t a Rheem feeler in my area any more. I don’t see any of the new Rheem
Products, none of them are bad.
But you did the most important part. Know who you are dealing with. Over what the product they sell is.
