I would love to have the easier to work on engine compartment. However, Since I park in town frequently, the extra 3'+ would be a major problem. I hate working under the hood the couple of days a year... passenger compartment is ok because Crestline designed it to extend into the Ambo box... being able to fit into a 20'ish parking space most days of the week is worth it.
However, if I needed a 4x4 Expedition vehicle, I'd be all over a type I.

You might check with Chris at U-Joint Off Road (UJOR) on this forum. Sometimes he has like-new tires and rims he takes off vehicles when they upgrade to larger tires and rims.
The only thing though, he is located in Fletcher, NC so the shipping may not make it worthwhile for you.

I measured today and I it came out (Give or take an Inch or two):
.
BOX - 149" / 12' 5"
CABIN - 115" / 8' 19"
.
WHOLE UNIT - 264" / 22'
.
Probably, and I'll never buy something, especially used, without checking it out thoroughly.
.
I have a brand new spare, Continental HDR, around $350 a piece, maybe I'll go for that.
.
BTW, I do need a dot to have double space

Wow that's pretty darn good. 22' is a bit less than I would have thought. I was expecting ~23'.

That's interesting, but I wonder why?
Are you posting with a cell phone, and if so are you using Tapatalk? I use a computer and don't need it, plus I'm on another forum that uses this same software, and nobody on there has to use it either.
It's no big deal, I just thought I might save you a little bit of hassle that's all.
Yesterday and today, with the help of my new generator, I opened the back wall of the
two vertical external compartments.
.
Now I need to organize shelves and I'll find a carpenter to install me some nice wooden doors.
.
Any advice about the type of shelves, considering that this is a mobile / moving vehicle?!
Maybe a deep plastic rectangle container?

I copied your post and add a space between the sentences. I use a laptop:

Well, mystery solved, it looks like the problem is on my side, quite annoying.

22' isn't so bad...without the bumper Crestline E350s are about 20', but 22 would still fit most places. It's kinda funny, but 23' seems so much longer but 22' seems workable.
As for shelves, you'll want them to be secure and extra strong. I've found that the metal shelves in the ambulance quickly collapse if I have any weight on them and go over a bump... the metal clips simply pop out of the rails.
