Скачать или смотреть Why I Skipped the $100K Sprinter |EP2| and got a "Church" Van

Everyone told me to buy a Sprinter. I bought a 15-passenger "church" van sight unseen — and the hubcaps flew off on the first drive.

This is EP2 of BOG. I'm 60, retiring soon from a 35-year IT career, and building toward off-grid, family compound life the only way I know how — one hard lesson at a time.

THE RIG (BOG BUS): 2024 Chevy Express 3500
— 6.6L V8 / 401 HP / 464 lb-ft
— 10,000 lb towing
— 15 passenger / extended wheelbase
— 155 inch wheel base
— Rear locking differential
— $48K out the door
Hubcaps were stripped out garbage. Everything else was awesome. Took it over Mt. Tamalpais (Tam) to Stinson Beach and this thing drives like it wants to work for a living.

This van will haul the crew, tow trailers, and help start the family compound build.

BONUS: I'm halfway to living in a van down by the river!

More coming.
