New Ford Transit Sunliner Rialta Limited Edition
(Preview)
Hi all, I've just got this one <-- It wasn't what I thought I was looking for, I'd not even seen any like it in the six months I've been looking. It actually lacks several things from my absolutely essential deal-breaker list, but what it does have was worth it, mainly the drop-down bed behind the sea...

Some of the comments say that it is against the law in some states others say that iy cracks or bubbles in the heat. Love to hear others opinions or even another way of having privacy...
