Hi all.
Our hopeful plan of using my my mom’s vintage travel trailer to get on the road is looking a little dashed due to repair costs, so we’re now looking at buying a van or possibly a very small bus to make our first home on the road. (We’ve thought about RVs, too, but Amy, my spouse, is concerned about the potential for ongoing repair expenses more than a van might need, based on what we’ve seen people talk about on YT.)
Anyway, we live in Alaska, where the roads definitely get salted in the winter. If there were not a pandemic on, we’d probably fly down to one of the places we have family in the lower 48 where they don’t salt the roads and shop for a vehicle there, then drive it back to do the conversion here, but we’re both immunocompromised and aren’t comfortable risking that during the pandemic.
Any tips or suggestions?
