I think the author meant is humorously as well, even subconsciously. Otherwise there would be an "a" before reefer. Nobody would put "about to buy van" :wink:
Example: see the thread about "protection in the truck" and my witty response :P
As far as the 48-53 ft difference, it comes down to personal preference once you get past the versatility of van/temp loads. I find it easier to back up a longer trailer, but 5' is pretty negligable in this case. Listen to the pocketbook and get whatever is cheaper and/or can make ya more $$.
