Van Upgrades News, Tech, and Product Updates for Promaster, Transit, NV
Van Upgrades Gold Sponsor of the 2017 Scio Cruise-In
We are excited to be a sponsor of the 2017 Lamb and Wool Fair Cruise-In, part of the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair in Scio, Oregon. This is a great small town event that has continued to grow and gives the public a chance to see so many cars, trucks, and motorcycles that are being restored and preserved. Even a classic van or two may be seen in the crowd. The Scio area is known as the Covered Bridge Capital of the West, and the covered bridge tour route is a great little tour if you happen to be passing through the area.
No-see-um screens for Transit, Promaster and NV + Promaster Fiamma Page
We have been updating the site, adding products, and cleaning it up where we can. We have the Fiamma awning page for the Promaster van up and running so you can now get price quotes and shipping prices online. You can also order online as well. Of course you can always call us if you have questions or just prefer to order over the phone.
We have also added a true no-see-um screen material to the Transit, Promaster and NV insect screen line up. Both the no-see-um screens and the standard screens are a great choice for your camping adventures.

Ex-Guard Grill Guard for Ford Transit and Ram Promaster RV and Utility Vans
The Ex-Guard grill guard product is proving to be a popular item for the Ford Transit van. It is much more than just another grill guard. The EX-Guard is a front end protection system and can help eliminate costly repairs and down time caused by deer or animal collision. Great for RV and commercial use. Ideal for utility vans, fleet owners and expediters who are always on the road, often at night in rural areas. The system helps protect the radiator and other vitals to keep you moving down the road in the event that a deer does cross your path. No one wants to hit an animal, and we hope you never do, but it can happen, and if it does you are protected with EX-Guard. We are happy to be offering this product for your next overland adventure, your next job, and wherever else the road takes you!

See our product description for specifications on the Transit SuperSprings here. You also have the option of a heavy duty SumoSpring and a Medium duty for the 250 and 350 Transit. The 150 Transit and all wagons will use the light to medium duty and medium to heavy duty SumoSprings. See the Transit SumoSprings specifications here, then click on your application.
The wagons are Ford's designation for their passenger vans. Cab chassis and cut away are cargo van chassis' that are modified by removing the van body or van body and cab back.
