That brings back memories. My dad bought a van just like that when my siblings and I were growing up. I remember lots of trips to Canada, the swiveling captain chairs covered in velvet where I'd always get car sick if I even just attempted a swivel, and a small table in the middle. Sometimes my dad would crawl back there for a nap while waiting for us to finish soccer practice.

I bought it local, and went on a 500 mile road trip the week after. In fact it’s going on it’s 3rd 500+ mile road trip this weekend. That makes 3 in September. I can park for the night, drink beer in my recliner, then crawl into my comfy bed. Dead nuts reliable, simple to get parts for and work on, and parts are cheap! The hipster/#vanlife trend has made VW and Sprinter van prices go well beyond reasonable. There’s still a lot of other cool vans out there that can do the same damn thing.
