It only had tyre advisories in 2020 and the previous owners replaced them before we bought it. Taxed and sailed through the last MoT with no advisories (due 4 Sept but we’re happy to get a new MoT if needed). Fuel consumption isn’t bad, but this and its top speed are the only negatives. It’s not fast on the motorway, as these older vans tend to be, but will sit happily at 60-65 mph for hours. It has the original 2 litre diesel engine (often referred to as “bulletproof”) and starts on the button every time. We are 5’7 tall and can stand up in it – taller people have to stoop a little. It’s amazingly compact (4.86m L x 1.85 W x 2.55 H) so easily fits inside parking spaces and has a great turning circle. The interior has to be seen to be believed: same footprint as a VW Transporter but with a toilet & shower cubicle, kitchen, seating for 6 or more and a queen-size bed when assembled! We bought it for adventures and independence through varying states of lockdown until our planned relocation this year, and that time has come so with a heavy heart we’re selling. Its taken us all over England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland during the lockdown years – bought deliberately for how self-contained yet compact it is. The Townace was a variant of the Hiace Toyota van, and these imported (June 2004 in this case), Japanese factory built/AmCraft habitation space vans are extremely rare (we’ve never seen another out on the road) and take space-saving ingenuity to the max. When it's time to sell the house, no one will miss the fact that these aren't your typical builders grade windows.This is our beloved van. There's something to be said for the window looking more modern and updated too. 29 that we see from most vinyl replacement windows.

That tends to make the window look bigger and the cost isn't that much more.Īlso since the screen is on the inside and it's removable, you can leave them off and have it look like stationary windows and they're less likely to get torn up from weather and exposure.Ĭasement windows actually perform a little better than windows that go up and down too with a U value of a. It lets in the same amount of air but looks better and leaves a better visual by removing the big bar in the center. I really like pulling out twin windows and using this instead. In fact the main rep from Alside tells me I sell more than anyone in the Metroplex so I guess that includes Plano. We sell ten different window manufacturers and are happy to bring samples and explain the ups and downs of all of them. We try to make it easier on this website and in person when you call for a free, no obligation, on site evaluation.
Needless to say, knowing about vinyl replacement windows is a little complicated.
They make the Presidential, the Energy Master, the Executive (a Presidential under a different name) and the Traditions (an Energy Master under a different name). NT Window for example makes two windows under four different names. One downside to window research is that many windows do what is called "rebranding" Making the same window with lots of different names to prevent cross referencing and comparison. This one has grids between the glass and really came out well.
It keeps the mullions at around 3" on the inside and that's just so much better than five or six inches of frame we see from Renewal by Andersen, Window World and the other vendors out there that only offer one model of replacement window. On bay windows I really like this product.
