At this point, you’ve probably gathered that we ultimately decided to purchase a step van (I mean, the name of this blog kind of gives it away). But what got us to sign the check? Was it planning or spontaneity? Was it research or a gut feeling? Was it mulling over every detail or was it going with the flow? Honestly - it was a combination of all of those things. Budget
So! Here we are with this hunk o' metal. While we are super happy with the purchase, the van does come with its own challenges. For one, the engine doesn't have the greatest reputation. The van also doesn’t have AC - in Texas, that's going to be an issue. It also has a ridiculous fold-down passenger seat that just won’t do for longer road trips. It may not be the absolute perfect van, but that doesn't stop our excitement; we're excited to tackle all the challenges together! Check out the video below for “before” shots of the van.
In our next blog, we’ll dive into the budget we have for the van (along with our savings goals). This is one of the blogs that we will look back at, once the project is complete, and either smile with pride at our accuracy… or laugh at how far off we were. Time will tell. Till next time!
