I don't care how pimped a Vanagon or Westy is...$90k is CRAZY!! I could
convert an old school bus with a pool, running track, and gourmet kitchen
all powered by solar for 35K. That includes the hydroponic rooftop garden!
And it will float!
What I really want is the list showing who is falling for these prices and
then I will check obits everyday until I can get one for a steal from a
spouse who just wants it gone...or better yet, divorce records :-) Michael.
