Today is your day Boomer! Yesterday's blog had a focus on "class b" camper vans and van life. And one of the big takeaways was the BIG price of vehicles like Roadtreks....well over 60,000$, even for a used 2005 model. How about a cheaper alternative Boomers? There are vans out there, like Dodge Grand Caravans, that sell for under $20,000 with under 100,000km. These vans have stowaway seats which feature 2nd and 3rd row seats that fold into the van floor, creating a big, flat back surface....perfect for camping! Now, some innovative, handy DIYers will create their own multi-use spaces in the vans, but others will just buy pre-made kits(see picture!). I researched a few of these companies, including Vanpackers out of Quebec, and they do special conversions kits for regular vans, cargo vans, SUVs, and special kitchen kits. And they look sharp and are very functional. Here are some of their features: Installation in 5 minutes without drilling....Excellent stability when moving for increased safety....Storage space and height optimized for comfort....Use as a twin bed, double bed or living room, depending on your preference....High density mattress with washable covers....Table with interior support (3 positions)....Large storage volumes and functional kitchen without manipulation....Clear rear view when driving and stationary. And the price? Just a few hundred dollars. A camping option Boomers at a good price; something to consider. Cheers!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
