Hey All,
After 4 months of extensive research and 15 test drives in various vehicles, the deposit is down on a '95 L400 Space Gear. See my Deli at rightdrive.ca/inventory_cars/view/218. Rob at Right Drive near Toronto has been great. Still a couple more hurdles to jump through with insurance, etc, but hope to have it done within a week. Will update...

Re: Took the plunge
Welcome!
Nice looking ride!
The hitch on the back is the same as the one Maximum Overdrive sells and the same one I just had installed on my bus... you might consider having the receiver body moved back one hole on the side brackets so the back of the receiver body is closer to the spare tire cage and the bolts can then be further apart. This will reduce the torque on the bolts and the brackets (even though they are pretty strong anyway) and make for a stronger, safer hitch assembly. It will also improve your departure angle if you go offroading at all as the hitch extends out the back quite a way.
I do love this type of hitch as the 2 spare receivers allow accessories to be mounted while still being able to tow a trailer. Plans are in the works for mine.
Enjoy your new bus!
