Geo,
I saw a van this morning that had rollers in it. I know it wasn't you but anyway, do you have pictures to share?

Also what type are they?

Those ball rollers or those plastic rollers?

Thanks Jack, it is really nice to see it setup like that.

By the way, it looks like the photo that shows the rollers is reversed.

I bet those rollers are a sweet thing to have in avan. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a chain that has a standard hook on one end, and a large j-hook at the other.It works perfect, just long enough at 9' to get that front skid out. It cost around $20.00

The only thing I would worry about is if the van is at an angle, front end down as backed up on a ramp.
