Wow... TonyandKaren... just about everybody's dream I think. That's a beauty! I'd love to have had one. The old ones now are worth a fortune it seems; everybody wants to fix them up. Romantic. Shag carpet... I think it's coming back in style too. Horrors! No... ours was regular plush...

Good old days! Yes! Old hippie here... and I like it that way. We had some great times in that Chevy van. Saw my first big grizzly bear out the back window in Banff National Park. We used a lot of carpet on the walls... well, it was that time, carpet was very popular. But the inside was...

In 1974 my ex and I converted this 1969 Chevrolet ourselves. We built the top right on the vehicle. It was our home in winter and summer in the Canadian Rockies. We bought it thinking it had low miles, but in fact it had a lot, we're not even sure how much it really had. But we drove it back...

Thanks Cyndi... it's a Dodge Ram 250. Under 100,000 is my goal as well. Looking all the time; I figure I'll just do it as long as it takes and learn as much as I can through the experience. Everyone here has been very helpful. :) Automatic transmissions make me nervous - keep hoping...

The first post was a bit in jest... I mean they actually thought 151,000 miles was low? But the van reminded me of one bought by a lady I've been following a long time. She's been a great inspiration. Hers is a 95 Coachman. She bought it late in the year and moved into it in winter in New...

LOL... that's what I thought Bruce. The other one looks good; I'll see what Ken thinks. Maybe go see it this week. Thanks!

There's a 1990 Dodge Ram Class B at a small dealership near me. I went over after hours last week to look at it in the parking lot. The inside is clean, the paint is a bit dull from the years, but otherwise it looks good. I checked their website; the advert says, low mileage. It has 151,734...

I share a house with someone who volunteers for Habitat for Humanity; he's always out to yard sales and estate sales to find good things for the thrift store they have; he buys things to donate to the store and he also looks for things for himself while he's at it. Estate sales have given him...

Welcome from a fellow Stones fan! This is a very nice place to be. :)

Congrats Bitty!!! I'm very glad for you! May you have many, many trouble free miles. :-) It's a really nice looker too!

Thanks offroad, That's how I've been thinking of used engines. I'm used to buying new and keeping for a long time. This is the first used vehicle I've needed to buy. Scares me a bit... I read somewhere on a used van conversion site about buying from a dealership; the 30 day warranty was...

Very good advice Cyndi, thank you. I wouldn't have thought of any of those things. Craigslist is beginning to give me the creeps, but I'll keep looking. I'm starting to think about dealerships, long standing ones with good reputations. I know there can be hazards there as well, Car Max has...

This might be a stupid question. I haven't checked the regular "blue books" yet, but thinking ahead of time that they wouldn't list the value of an RV. Is there a "book" that is especially for RV"s? I've seen several Class B vans that I'd like to know more about, but the sellers don't list...

Seraphim... it varies depending on what the client wanting the work done is willing to pay. There are some people doing it full time and doing quite well. I was making about $25 for a 500 word article. A van dweller lady I follow is doing voice-overs on Fiverr. She's garnered some big...

This is worrisome... thanks for this thread. It's definitely something to think about.

There's a company called Textbroker. If you don't mind journalistic writing, you can make money there. There's a test at first, but almost everyone passes it. You're assigned a rating from 1 star to 5 stars. The higher your number of stars, the greater choice of assignments are available to...

Sometimes I think that living below the poverty level is in fact being rich; rich in different things that the wealthy rarely know. Rich in experience, rich in love, rich in natural beauty, rich in true friends, even if they are only one or two. I used to have lots of money, but then in a...

Watching now! I'm getting sand in my shoes! Very nice video Bob, exciting! Patience, patience... My plans have been slowed a bit; I broke my arm day before yesterday. Planning to be on the road by July - plenty of time - if I don't break something else. lol.... Got another bit of...

It looks really nice! Good luck for the mechanical check. Keeping the good thoughts for you! :-)

That last van looks good. Hope it all works out for you! Keeping the good thoughts. :)
