Oh Geez, The Van Again The Ongoing Search Continues. Wouldn't that be a nice name for a Soap Opera? The search for what? In this case, it's our continuing search for a Camper Van. But why a van and not a Motorhome? Let me explain. First though, if you're sick and tired of reading about our search, just move along.  As I've mentioned before, we live in a small house. The drive way is long enough, I think it could hold five cars easily, plus one in the garage. So plenty long. I don't think it's as wide as most driveways, but my van sits in it just fine. But my van is a 2014 Ford Transit Connect. That's a mid-size van, not a mini-van. It doesn't sit as high as a 'normal' van. It's about seven feet wide, and a little under sixteen feet in length. Like I said it fits in our driveway nicely. This week's flavor, errr, van is the same width, a little longer. I'm not going to post what it is here, I'll wait until/if we buy it. This van is longer though, by about five feet. You know I will post a photo of it once we buy it. But I haven't yet told you why a campervan, and not a Motorhome. So here goes. Remember our driveway and its width? There's a city Ordinance in Bloomington about parking a Motorhome in the driveway. We can park it here from April 1st until October 31st. After that, it has to be in storage. The Motorhome we're in love with is the Navion/View. It's essentially the same width as a van, but has a lot higher height, and is about 10 feet longer than my current van. We've checked the storage fee, we don't want to pay about $300/month for secure storage. So the van it is. And this van has everything a Motorhome has, just on a smaller scale. Well, that's it for this episode of As The Van Goes. Be sure to tune in next week and learn if Jim & Kathy have a new van, and what type it is!  Jim Dorrell |
