Rev Promaster chassis - driving

We test drove a used 2014 Trend today. It wasn't the twin floorplan but a 24RB.

The overhead skylight had a vibration noise that was annoying.

The Ram Chassis was pretty comfortable to drive. Seats were very comfortable. Left foot placement not bad for driving and decent room as a passenger. Seats did not recline so that was odd.

But we also went to a Dodge dealership and there are more adjustable seats available for the Ram chassis so we could always substitute them out.

Ram was a comfortable ride. A little noisy on acceleration but really very comfortable at coasting. A little squirrely on the expressway.

Very maneuverable in parking lots.

The seat belt was a bit annoying because it was attached to the seat so if you are tall it pulls down on your shoulder.

The seat adjustments were hard to adjust. But we could live with that.

Following day test drove a 1996 Rev 23RB.
Oddly the passenger seat did not recline so very uncomfortable. Very manuevarable. Odd vibration in the steering wheel on the expressway. Had 38K miles so may have needed an alignment or something else.

Cabinets and body in good shape. Excessive breakdown of the vinyl on the back seats. Sofa very uncomfortable and not padded.
