-Phybere, discussing Ford vans, says this about rust: +Rust-free is better than rusted, but body panel rust is less serious than frame rust (for example).  Your mechanic will be able to advise what is cosmetic and what is problematic. 
-> "The spot to check on these is on the rear suspension, where the leaf springs attach to the body (the shackles). If something rusts off, that's gonna be first. There will be rust, but in general it's fine if the rusted thing isn't rotten/flaking apart."((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/5gpib3/looking_at_a_2003_ford_e250_is_this_amount_of/dauxlhb/)) +

 +==== known issues ====
 +
 +All vehicle platforms have known issues;  these are weak points or problems that may happen more frequently on that platform compared to others.   There are no perfect vans, no perfect campers. 
 +
 +Knowing what the common issues are can help you look for (or ask about) common problems.  [[rv:van_issues|Here]] is an attempt to collect known issues on various platforms.
