Operation Van Procurement Procedure: SUCCESS
Behold, new Headquarters-in-the-Saddle of D.o.C.:
What I need now is a notebook computer to replace my dying computer,
so that I can finish my book about the Mojave Phone Booth.

So. Um. Hey, man. I need a van. I'm technically without a home these days. I'd like to wander homelessly about the country on various adventures and errands of the more or less knightly variety. And also live in said van out in the desert. But. To do that. I would be needing. Yep. A van. So I am on Van-fari. You wouldn't happen to have a van sitting around, lonely & unused, would you? Want to sell it all cheap & kind-like? Or, know someone who might want to donate one to a loosely defined Good-Cause-without-portfolio? There are tons of used conversion & rv-type vans out there. Examples: |
|
RoadTrek 
Pleasure Way 
|
Great West 
American Cruiser 
Sometimes used models of this type of van sell used for almost-reachable sums. |

Xplorers are great. Long, sleek, everything you need to live on the go, and yet mostly escape the uninvited attention of anti-urban-camping author-uh-tahs. Hmmyahh. Though more recent models might be a little wallety for me... |

... the older model Xplorers are in some ways even better. I mean, that is some style, that right there is, is it not? |

Speaking of style, the Dodge Santana conversion van is ... well, LOOK at it! For years, my friend Babsomatic has talked about her lamentedly lost Santana. She might like to get one another one. |

Here's a Dodge Santana that was featured in Napoleon Dynamite. Better still are the longer versions of the Santana van. |

In general, the bare necessities are:
Air conditioning (Se necesita en el desierto) All else is secondary. |
