What is the maximum carrying capacity of the van?
-sandybov.ill
Shane: Legally only five.
But four is optimal for sanity and reducing clutter.
Any more than 3 and it starts to smell…
Andy: 5 for long trips is the most.
-Wskier
Will: The Van is Diesel and gets roughly 20 miles per gallon.
So far we’ve driven about 71,000 miles in the 3 years we’ve had it.
It tends to have small problems but nothing big so far knock on wood.
Things like coolant leaks, and the high beams wont turn off.
But, homemade or from the east coast.
Nothing fast-food or frozen, kindly.
Will: Pizza with Chicken, and as many other toppings as possible.
Andy: Chicken wing pizza…..
What’s the longest anyone on the crew went without showering during filming?
Both showers took place within the very first, and very last 48 hours of the trip.
Will: What Shane said.
This year someone in the PC lift line was complaining about a BO smell.
-Dr.SteveBrule
Andy: None.
Pizza however a few days.
