Hi, I'm new on here. I've been looking at vintage vans for quite a while and came up on this forum. I'm hoping I can get a few suggestions on picking out a van to buy.
I'm planning to live out of a van for about six months, while taking my time travelling from East Coast to the West Coast. I'll be hauling just a few possessions and a motorcycle in the back, until I drop it all off halfway and replace it with a nice, cushy sleeping bag.
In terms of "cool factor" and size, my ideal van would be a mid-60s A100. Unfortunately, "cool factor" won't likely get me across the country.
Any suggestions in general on an old van with "decent" gas mileage, dependability, and easy maintenance for a trip like this? I'd like to go with a 60s or 70s model, but practicality may say otherwise.
