THE VEHICLE - OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE EARNED ITS STRIPES, RELIABLE ENOUGH TO GET YOU WHERE YOU'RE GOING Freightliner Mercedes OM642 turbo diesel Built like a European appliance.

THE QUIRKS - FULL TRANSPARENCY, BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT Passenger door locks/unlocks manually only minor Manual is mindful. Your passenger will briefly feel like they're in a vintage sports car. Sliding door sticks if slammed too hard minor Treat her gently. This is not a slam-the-door kind of life anyway. Radio doesn't work minor, Spotify exists. Also, have you considered silence? Very healing. Mystery electrical draw known Somewhere in this van, electricity is going somewhere unaccounted for. A skilled electrician can solve this. It has not stopped the van from functioning or adventuring. Red button = extra horn not a quirk, a feature You get a second horn, for fun. You're welcome. Added window wiper switch also a feature Previous owner had opinions about visibility in the rain. You benefit. The thing is that this van has lived a full life and has more in it to give. It's not perfect. No van this loved ever is. But it's honest, it's warm, it has a toilet, and it goes 16–19MPG. The bed needs a memory foam pad. You will immediately buy one and not regret it.
