The LBMW Radio Van is a broadcast van built on the Franklin Valuline body, with a huge cargo hold and a slot for a ham radio. It is a rare find that suits hauling supplies and listening to the airwaves on the road.

The Radio Van is a Heavy-Duty vehicle with two seats. It was used by the LBMW network for mobile radio broadcasting, and the dish and antenna on its roof show it. Under the paint, it shares the Valuline's cargo space, seats and parts.

The big difference is the engine. The Radio Van has the weakest engine of any powered vehicle in the game, and it is heavier than the plain Valuline. That makes it very slow to pick up speed. It is still loud, like every van.

The Radio Van suits a patient survivor who wants a rolling store room and does not mind a slow drive. It is a poor escape vehicle but a fine supply truck for short, planned trips.

Driving the LBMW Radio Van

The Radio Van is the slowest van to accelerate. Its weak engine struggles with the extra weight of the broadcast gear. Its top speed matches the plain Valuline, but reaching it takes a long, straight road.

That sluggishness makes it a poor choice for towing. A trailer or a second vehicle drags it down even further.

The brakes are average for a heavy vehicle. A loaded van needs room to stop, so early braking is wise near crowds.

Off the road, the Radio Van is weak. Grass, dirt and fields slow it badly, and paved roads suit it best.

The engine is loud, as loud as the Franklin Valuline. A drive through town draws attention from far away. A performance muffler helps.

The body is solid at both ends. The people inside get good protection in a crash, better than in a family car.

LBMW Radio Van Storage

The cargo hold matches the Franklin Valuline, tied for the second-largest trunk in the game. Only the Chevalier Step Van holds more. The two seats can hold items when empty, and the glove box is larger than the one in a family car.

As a mobile base, the Radio Van works well. It can carry food, water, tools and building supplies in one load. Its slow engine is the only real limit on how far that load travels in a day.

LBMW Radio Van Parts

The Radio Van takes Heavy-Duty parts. Its tires, brakes, suspension, gas tank, muffler, doors, windows, seats and trunk match the Franklin Valuline and other vans and pickups. Any wrecked Valuline is a good parts donor.

The radio slot is the special feature. It takes a ham radio instead of a car radio, such as the Makeshift Ham Radio, the Premium Technologies Ham Radio or the US ARMY COMM. Ham Radio. A ham radio installed in the van can follow broadcasts while on the move.

Repairing the engine needs a higher Mechanics level than a family car. Some Mechanics training helps keep it running.

Brakes and tires wear out first under the weight of a full load. Old, regular and performance grades exist for tires, brakes and mufflers. The gas tank comes in small, regular and big sizes, and a big tank suits a slow van that spends long hours on the road.

LBMW Radio Van Versions

The LBMW Radio Van carries the colours of the LBMW network. The Triple-N Van is the same vehicle in the paint of the Triple-N studios. Burnt shells of the Radio Van sit along wrecked roadsides and still give up some heavy-duty salvage.

Every version of the LBMW Radio Van with its own spawn command. Burnt and wrecked shells cannot be driven but still hold parts.

LBMW Radio Van Locations

Triple-N studios are the surest place to find one, with the Triple-N Van parked outside. Radio stations come next and hold the LBMW version. Burnt shells turn up along wrecked roadsides. A stray Radio Van can also sit outside an ordinary business now and then.
