So this guy traveled across the U.S.of A. in a Vanagon without any money, using only craigslist?
I guess I believe it, in the trailer it shows the van being physically pushed more than once.

If I'm watching the trailer correctly, he hitches a ride in a Vanagon for a bit, but the van's not his. It's belongs to the guy with the rooster. Of course

Looks like a cool film but Robyn is right. It seems that he just caught a ride with the van guy.

Forgetting to close the door while pushing the van is something I would do! 
Fun stuff for a college kid to try.

When I first saw the clip, I noticed the van in several different spots, and just assumed my assumption.
Ok.
Still cool though.
Roosters?
Geesh...

I now own two Vanagons.
Where's my roosters!? 
That looks like a cool film. Using the battery in the Vanagon to light up a spliff was kind of a desperate move. Heh.  Those sparks look more real than the smoke at gearshift in the Toyota!
