I know it’s totally unlike me, but….

I changed my mind. The truck is for sale, and I’m buying the GMC 4×4 van.

The more I got to thinking about it, the more it made sense to do it. The extra room, the ability to live fairly comfortably in the van while on any one of the various road trips I have planned just makes sense. The more I thought about sleeping in the back of the truck with my two kids, the more I didn’t like the idea. There’s just not enough room in there. I like the thought of being able to sleep in my vehicle without having to pull all my gear out to do it. There’s been several times I’ve longed to be able to do this, while sitting out a mid afternoon thunderstorm.

Since the van is lifted with nice 35″ TXR tires, has a very strong running engine and transmission and will need little in the way of repairs right off the bat, I’ll be able to move right into making it livable on the trail and the road. That makes me happy.

    I like it! You three will all fit in there, and no one will get stuffed in a corner!
    Looks pretty comfortable – you may not be able to boonie-crash as well, but sometimes comfort wins out!
    Cool!
    What year is the truck?
    Love ya! Mom

    It will be nice to have some room to spread out and let the kids be comfortable. I’m really looking forward to my summer road trip now!!!
