A Van for Suanne

[Suanne]

Almost 3 years ago, I decided I needed to replace my '04 Prius.  My analysis that lead to my decision to get another Prius is here in the forum at https://vanlivingforum.com/showthread.php?tid=24314.

Since then, HOWA entered my life and my needs have changed.  So, I just purchased a 2016 Chevy Express Passenger Van for personal comfort while I'm on the computer so much.  And, at the same time, I plan to keep my beloved Prius as my "vacation home" .

I just wanted to give you all an update.  If you want to read more details or see some photos, go to my blog at https://suanneonline.blogspot.com/2020/04/new-wheels.html.

Stay safe everyone … on the road and otherwise.

Happy van warming, Sueanne! Wishing you many brilliant sunsets with it. Have you picked a name yet?

My van is named Blimpy after the WWII blimp hangers we toured at Tillamook OR gathering. And it looks like a Blimpy.

Take excellent care of that Chevrolet, they are awesome vehicles & u r so blessed to have.

Finally went to the dark side, eh? Congratulations Suanne, that’s great!

… Have you picked a name yet?

Thanks much for that housewarming plant.  I know exactly where I want to put that palm tree in my van

I'm not one to name my vehicles … at least not yet.  But, I do like the name "Wanda."  In my back country horse outfitter days, we had a white mule named Wanda.  She was dependable, smart, loving, self-determined, and willingly packed-in our gear and supplies.  Would seem a fitting name sake.  But, we'll see if I go there with the van.

Oh goody!  Moby has a new cousin.  Enjoy!

Congratulations, a little more room and comfort is a nice thing.

"Wanda" is perfect because it's how we Bostonians say "wander."

Yayyyy for you. I posted awhile back something about you needing more space with all the work you have to do. I don’t know how you’ve been managing it.

Congratulations!

I've never quite figured out how you managed to manage with the Prius...I've seen you do it but for the life of me, never figured out how you made it work!

You will feel so spoiled with a high top van.

I seriously recommend that you get windows in the high top. Having had tops without them before I will never go back to the no window style.

Yaaay! New digs! Super cool!
