Today is your day Boomer! Remember the old VW vans....the converted camping/sleeping vans with no power? Popular back in the 60's and 70's, and still popular now! Yup, Boomers are buying them and fixing them up. In fact, many Boomers are converting to the so-called "van life" which, according to Outdoorsy, is described as this: "van lifers are people who RV around the country in converted vans. Many van life vans are quite elaborate and are often remodeled by the owners themselves. Other vans are more simplistic rigs that provide a place to sleep and a compact vehicle to reach the beaten path." Outdoorsy is in the van rental business, so they know a thing or two. I will talk more about van "conversions" in my blog tomorrow....but I wanted to share the top 5 popular Class "B" vans according to Outdoorsy. 1. Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2. Ram Promaster 3. Ford Transit Van 4. Chevy Express/GMC Savana 5. Volkswagen Westfalia Campervans. These five offer lifestyle flexibility, better gas mileage, and the ability to go on almost any road. They also are very expensive...even used....and hard to find, except the new or newish ones. Often, priced over 100,000$! Yikes! Van life used to be cheap. No more Boomers. Check out the prices online. Camping is no longer a bargain....not like the good ol' days. Cheers!
