The capacity...

Loading was a little tricky... but much less work than taking the 3 games down the stairs solo.

Well done sir. In my full size van, I had 4 8+HP snowblowers and about 15 weedwackers stuffed in there... Too bad I lost the pics....

Which raises the question... barring a box truck (or other non-daily driver type), which vehicle has the most interior space.
Dodge Sprinter?
Conversion van?
Vanagon?

In my Ford van I can fit three FULL SIZE arcade games. Plus they are protected from the weather. It's the ONLY way (other than a box truck) to make game runs. :)

I'm always amazed how much crap you can pack in that truck man.... and still have room for the wife unit :)

Dodge Sprinter bar none.
 
Nice packing job.. have you been playing a lot of Tetris? I'm a minivan fan too - I have an '03 Ford Windstar. It's a piece of shit and I'm constantly repairing it, but it is great for hauling games. There's no worrying about the weather, games load easily though the back and slide nicely on the carpeted floor. The rear seats are a pain to remove because they're heavy and the latches are poorly designed, but the floor anchors they use are good for securing tie-downs. I just wish the van was about an inch longer - I can't quite close the rear door when hauling 4'x8' sheets of drywall/plywood.
 
Haha. That's awesome Mark. We plan on trading my Accord coupe for an SUV soon. So it will be my family/hauling vehicle. Though, my wife isn't too thrilled about the latter. :D
 
I want a minivan exactly because of this kind of post!

My Escape can haul one game or pin, but it is a huge PITA.

This week I picked up 6 games using a 16' box truck with a hydraulic lift gate. Several of the games were big 25" monitor jobs. I was dreading this one big time to the point my blood pressure was up. Man... it was the easiest haul I've ever done. It was almost easier than hauling a single gutted cocktail. That liftgate...wow...awesome.
 
nice pickup! Is that a getaway head i see?? ... I recently did the same when i picked up the dd cab and parts from quarterarcade! Can't beat the 98' windstar i borrowed!! :)
 
A full size suburban with the seats down rules for hauling games.

Thats what I have, and it is awesome (esp the tow capability and AWD, but it doesn't hold as many games as Steve's conversion van!

Maybe I should mod my 'burban with a high top :)
cheers
