Seems to be a lot of these available with low miles-probably from car rental companies with a lot of highway miles.
Less blind spots with all the windows would be nice. Stanley Steemer must have a reason why they use them.
Who has used one and what did you think?

I strongly dislike window vans: I've only got 1 with windows all the way around. Most of our other vans have back or side windows and I dislike them as well.
-After all the equipment is in the windows might not be that visible to see through
-Tint (if present) gets scratched from things moving around.
-Easy to beak into if the are openable. More attractive for smash and grab.
-looks like a church/rental van not a commercial vehicle.
-Not as graphic/lettering friendly. Unless you vinyl
-Bottles and things cook in the sun unless you have dark tint (see tint above). If you do have dark tint all the way around the van is hotter (matters more in high temp zones. Hotter vs white).
-Less options for securing items/shelving/ect to the walls


Just get a regular van with a backup cam.

SS uses them for insurance reasons.

I have a windowed van and am going to try and stick with them in the future. It is true I got my van for a few grand cheaper than the typical work van, it had 103,000 miles when I got it. I took the seats out and carpet and sold it on craiglslist for $200.
