This has been extremely helpful to me right now. My van is at initial road ready capacity except for my house battery hookup. I have my battery, just need to figure this part out Glad I found this thread! Thanks!

What has already been stated as well as carguru.com, auto apps for your phone, FB groups, and patience. It'll turn up.

ClassyGlobal, same size here lol! Thanks for the tip on the site and insurance. The MPG was my biggest hesitation with the Astro, but as things would have it, I landed the Honda - which has about the same gas mileage as my current car, so it will be easy for me to predict and monitor. Best of...

Update, guys! Bit of a story...  So Monday, I found a '94 Chevy Astro (Astros being my dream long term van) and contacted him as a second option. He said someone was going to look at it Wed, so he would leg me know how it went. So my plan: Tue, check out the Odyssey and depending on its...

Thank you for your opinions and advice, guys! I have sent an the e-mail and now to wait for a reply. I appreciate it!

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Well, when I went down, the lot is so small there was no place to park to even get out and look around. Figures. Even if I passed on the G20, they still had a couple minivans. I might try one more time later in the week. *shrugs* And since I do plan on doing quite...

Awesome and congratulations! :D

Hokay, so, here's the deal and I'll try to keep it brief. I have been looking for a minivan. Good mpg, inconspicuous for stealth camping and can take it just about anywhere, and because I'm a pretty small gal I don't need a whole lot of space. I planned on starting in a minivan, live in that for...

I'm in the same boat: looking for a cheep but reliable minivan to get a couple years out of. Personally,  I keep my eyes on Craigslist and local facebook sale pages. I've seen quite a few promising minivans through those means. For example, there was a Town and Country for around $3,500 not too...

I've been wondering about this. I use a CU and after reading everyone's posts, I'll have to see if they have sister branches for when I get to traveling.

Go, Chicken! Go! I almost feel sorry for any poor soul withing hearing distance of me at work tomorrow. Almost. I can already tell this is going to be stuck in my head. Remember: Chickens are the best!

I am addicted to AMVs (animated music videos), and this is one of my favorites. The music is "Requiem For a Dream" in time with a powerful video made with FFVII clips.
