So I was with a friend in Maryland just roaming around the bottom portion. And I’m pointing out different vans that I’m thinking of. And lo and behold we see this beaut.

It’s actually for sale.

It’s within my budget. $6000

The owner was there so got to start it up, purred like a kitten. Minimal rust on bottom. Just passed state inspection. Clean. Never smoked in. Back bench already folds down to nice bed. I can stand up in it. Only had two owners, a retired army vet and a amateur car racer. Vet didn’t drive it much and current owner just uses it to haul his racing car. Only 81,000 miles.

Is it big enough for the vanhome I want. Not really. But it’s big enough I could work with it.

But other than timing just not being right. It’d be incredibly hard to insulate. The inside is so pretty. I just don’t want to deal with removing all the sides and ceiling and the cabinets it has to give it the insulation it’d require to actually live in. But I probably wouldn’t live in it for more than a few days a month anyway. So….
