My car finally gasped its last. Been looking into trucks and vans and am considering this van. I am hoping to haggle it down a bit. I like the 8 cylinders. Would prefer diesel, but have yet to find a diesel van in my price range. The gas mileage on passenger vans is decent, though, so I am...

I'm finally going to do it. It took a long time to get the ball rolling, but the time is nigh! At the end of the month I'm leaving home indefinitely to try my hand at living in 96' dodge ram while pursuing a career in documentary filmmaking. My first documentary is going to take place at the...

I'm looking at vans on craigslist, the chevy g20's specifically, and i came across this ad for a super cheap g20 for 700 bucks. It looks workable and I plan on spending the next few months renovating it into an rv anyways, so i thought i'd get everyone's opinions on it...

Is there ever a thing where people who wanna get off the road trade their vehicle to caretake a squat for a few months? It seems like this would be cool thing.

I really like the idea of living in a van, but vans usually get really bad mpg, so how do you folks afford all that gas? If there are any tips and tricks to get gas, let me know! Thanks much!
