Man also ditches Syncro 'cuz he drove it into ground and bought Toyota. Met the guy shortly after he bought the Syncro in a parking lot in Port Orford, OR. Very stoked dude at the time. #vanlife

It's not my journey, but having the van towed a few times to a shop (one for fuel pump, once for something else) - seems a bit half assed when you're on this #VanLife kick.

Don't get me wrong, the 2013 Toyota with custom camper is pretty pimp, but seems at odds with the original theme. Not least of all because you're going from a $7-10k rig to a $50-75k rig...

Taking care of your home is part of the experience.
