Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 That is wonderful news, Congrats! in MI Blessed With A Van Ladies, When we were trying to leave for our 4th of July week camping trip and I got into a huge fight. He started telling me not so nicely that I pack too much stuff. We ended up not leaving till the next day after I had to repack everything in duffel bags so we could squeeze it into our car. finally realized that what I had packed, (including HIS clothes), was not too much. (While we were gone he kept asking me for things he was hoping that I had packed.) But the problem was the way the car was made in such a way that it will not hold as much as our little hatchback. Any way kept saying he wished he had another van. While we were at the campout I heard that a friend of ours were wanting to get rid of their van. I knew they bought the van almost new for $3.33. Good friends of their wanted to give it to them but they wanted to pay something for it. 33:3 was their favorite Bible verse. Well I told that I would pay him double what they paid for it. That would have made it $6.66. (Not exactly my favorite numbers!) Well he said I 'll tell you what I'll give it to you. I asked him if he was serious and he said yes. We picked it up last week Tuesday. It needed the water pump fixed. Our next door neightbor has to move and has a bad back. He offered to let use his air-powered tools in exchange for moving some of the heavier furniture. put the new water pump in. We got the plates and insurance on it Wednesday. We vacuumed it out last night and took it for a test drive. Boy does it have pick up. It is a full size conversion van with a full size bed in the back. It has two built in coolers too. I am going to pack it up today. We are going to move a loveseat tonight for a friend but then I think we are going to hit the open road. God answers prayers even when you don't think you are praying.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 , I know what you mean we used to fit our 4 kids in the back of a VW Rabbit. It was also given to us. Three of the kids were teenages so it was a very close fit. When I was 3 my Mom and Dad took a trip with the 7 of us to the Upper Peninsula. We did stay in small cottages but had our cook stove, food, suitcases, etc with us. I still remember sleeping in a sloset with a pullchain light. I slept on the cusions from the pullout couch. I thought it was so cool because it was the first time I had my own " room " . I hope you have a very safe trip. Hugs, Dorene PS Wave at Dr. Levin for me on your way through KY. I get excited when I see a car with a KY license plate! > Vans are the bomb for camping. LOL Remember we have 3 Kids of our own plus one child.....
