[QUOTE="Declan, post: 112310, member: 1"] Ok. A bit of background. My so n wished to buy a conversion van. These come from n all sort of assortments and conditions. Some are factory made and the same and others are just customized to the owners desires. The new Mercedes sprinter types can run close to 300000 dollars but he wanted a thing that can handle real rough terrain. What he wanted really was a monster jeep, raised up and big tires. sure enough he found one for sale in Oregon about 5 months ago. It was a ford 350 commercial van that was customised. It was raised and made into a 4 wheel drive and all sorts of solar panels and a roof that would be raised hydraulically for a sleep ing area. Fridge, stove, microwave , outside shower etc etc . 8 cylinder 6 litre engine with turbo. Listed at 83k dollars. I told him firget about it as it would not sell. He says d it would. After a few weeks it disappearred. A few weeks later it was back at 65k and he was eager, i advised not. But then I am thinking, what if it sells, he will be pissed. So I said, offer 58500. And they accepted. normally I would be bullshit for offering too much but it is almost 25 less than what he would have done if i was not advising, so it is what it is. ideally I would have liked to do this trip in November but it can get frigid in the Rockies. so that was the reason for the trip. We flew to Portland last Monday two weeks and we rented a Kia Mona or something like that, a very small suv, but it was fine. We headed down about a 100 miles to a place called Corvallas and we got a room there in a decent hotel. There would be no Four Seasons in a place like that but we got a decent hotel. Rooms are 100 to 200 a night so we got the 200 one. i would rough it of course but not my son. Kids today, are programmed. He said to me, he is on vacation, hotel or restaurant, same thing. He will open his phone and press on “top rated” . Maybe they are right. None of my kids will go to a restaurant that is not top rated . so Monday we have landed and he meets the lady and drives the van. It is complicated with a high and low and a two and a four. And all sorts of hydraulics and lights etc [/QUOTE]
