Low Roof Models
The cargo vans with a standard roof are available in ½ ton, ¾ ton and 1 ton versions. With an eye on RV conversions, the models are sorted by cargo floor length. As space is a limited commodity in an RV, choice is heavily dependent on cargo floor length and floor-to-roof height. The Mercedes Benz Sprinter van is excluded, as it only comes with an extended roof line.

Note:
The 1500 Ram ProMaster may have a low roof, but doesn’t fit in a standard garage with a 7 ft. high door. All models are based on the new European styling, except for the Chevy Express.
