some of the people i follow in instagram make me wonder if they do anything without taking a picture of it. it literally must be exhausting, and for limited/questionable benefit. i'm not very pretty though, the selfie life definitely would NOT equate to a revenue stream for me

HEY GUYS!!
If you want to give this thing called "van life" a try, call my sister and brother in-law at RoamAmerica and go Van camping for extended weekend. Tell them Doug sent you. I never plug anything here.......but this is worth a plug. They're based out of Portland, so if you've never seen or explored the PNW this is THE absolute best way to do so.............oh and Clean39 next time I talk to my sister I'm going to ask if you have called and if you haven't then we're no longer internet bike forum acquaintances. You've been warned. Thanks y'all. https://www.roamericarentals.com/ |

They occasionally have some for sale too so drop me PM if you're at all interested and I'll give you my brother in laws info. He's probably one of the coolest, most laid back dudes you'll ever meet. Cheers. |

I can see this being a rocking solution for a couple doing weekend get aways, but more than that and it seems like it could get cramped pretty quick. If nothing else, more than 2 means you need to have seats in the back which would eat into space (I'd think), and sleeping arrangements could get tricky (maybe you're good until kids are 10+ years old, as long as you have a second bed?)

Love this line:
"the future he was creating did not align with his truest values." An online biz selling used watches? Uhhh....right. Something's sounding not quite right with this whole "story." That aside, van culture is indeed gone bonkers. Sportsmobile was one of the early firms out there doing amazing things. Many more competitors now. |

Maybe his truest value was the almighty dollar, and a failing business was not aligned with it.

Glad to see this van talk going on- I'm in the market myself. I'm looking for something quite small and have a first gen transit connect budget. I literally kicked some tires this sunday and found that generation connect wont work for me.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for small cargo vans? I've considered last year model astro/safari but am apprehensive on service in the future. Any suggestions that would fit a large, modern, long-ass mountain bike?

don't give up so easy. how about front wheel off, or place bike on a diagonal to fit? simple strategy, & can stay within budget. lots of creative ways to store the bike in there, just need time to think about it. transit connects are great little vans, some models great fuel efficiency.
unless you need more than just bike storage, i.e., room to lay down, etc. Quote:
