All, I have a small van now and love but it only has a 6’ 2” box. If I buy a large enough van to make one trip the van will be too big for me to keep. If I buy one small enough that it would take me three trips then it’s small enough for me to keep.

Plus I get to do the 1,853 mile trip three times! I enjoy long road trips.

Not sure how much they are but alot of people around here use the pods. Drop them in your driveway load them up and then they haul them to where you are moving. Looks like a good deal to me.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Not sure what your Sprinter will tow, but why not purchase one of those enclosed trailers. You can haul a lot in them and they are really easy to sell when you're done.

Who's gonna load/pack and unload? If you are gonna do it youself, then you are a way better man than I.

I may look into that again. They do not serve Montana. No delivery system in place there. I bet it’s different in Wisconsin.

Something to think about. I like having lots of options.

I was just going to call you and see if you were busy the weekend before Thanksgiving. :lol: Actually my real estate agent is helping me find laborers that can be trusted. I don’t think hiring the guy in front of Home Depot to help me unload a truckload of firearms and parts and accessories would be the safest thing to do.

Unloading a rented truck quickly will be a problem.

Thanks I think this loading and unloading thing is more for the younger bucks. I know I’m getting too old for it and I’m one of the healthiest in the Henry herd.
