Re: Mercedes Sprinter Van
What happened to U-haul for $29 a day?? That was back in the 70's though, lol.
I see where you said it would be too large for you and how you like making trips (not me, lol), but my idea would be to buy a used older model like the top one above for about $6,000 and then sell it for $6,000 once you get there.
Towing a trailer though sounds good. You could always sell that one too once you would be done with it.

Re: Mercedes Sprinter Van
Those are $40K-$60K trucks. I’m not sure I would want to take a 15 year old van with 375K miles on it across the country. That is what you get for $6K.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 4:57 pmWhat happened to U-haul for $29 a day?? That was back in the 70's though, lol.

Re: Mercedes Sprinter Van
That wouldn't bother me as long as the truck was in good condition. I've done it before, lol, but it's all how you would feel about it, of course. We're just the suggestors here. (Is that a word? lol)

Don’t know yet. Maybe north central area around Medford? Inside Taylor or an adjoining county.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 2:06 pmJust where is cheese land are you moving to? I'm not too far from the border.

Pretty country up there. We used to go to the Chippewa Flowage fishing every summer.Sir Henry wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 12:51 pmDon’t know yet. Maybe north central area around Medford?

You do have to put up with those cheese heads though.

Re: Mercedes Sprinter Van
I guess I missed the change, why did you decided to go to WI instead of MT, what was the deciding factor? There sure is a huge difference in scenery, climate, and social standards. The high humidity and flat terrain in WI would drive me nuts.... Maybe I am biased, I got shot at by a drunk outside a hotel in Wisconsin....

Re: Mercedes Sprinter Van
Montana got to expensive. I would have to spend $700 for every $1,000 I received from my home. In Wisconsin I only have to spend $400. I can argue glacial carved mountains views or peace and solitude and a latte nearby.John E Davies wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 3:23 pmI guess I missed the change, why did you decided to go to WI instead of MT, what was the deciding factor?

As Maurice Herzog said after losing almost all of his fingers and toes as the first person to climb an 8,000m peak “there will be other Annapurnas”.
I’m ready for a change.

Re: Mercedes Sprinter Van
My last garage sale fetched $4,400! A good yard art sale might reach $10K. In the meantime I’m shopping for a Sprinter V6 4X4. I figure I will need something big to get around.
