Well, I have about 2.5 years to get this done. After I get my masters degree I will go back to China and will be working in orphanages doing training. I will come home every two years. The first of the two years I will be home for about 6 weeks and need to drive up and down the west coast. The second two years (every four years) I have to drive about 10,000 miles in 4 months or so, covering SF to Baltimore. In the past I have been flying, bussing and training to do this and find that it is too inflexible. In order to get cheap tickets I have to buy them 2-4 months ahead of time and by the time I use them details have often changed and I end up paying a small fortune to buy a ticket at the last minute :( That is one of the reasons why I thought a diesel powered land yacht would be a good idea...that and because I think running on good ol u.s. grown veggie oil would be really cool. I stumbled across the Astro by accident. So far I think it is a good van. I was originally looking for a Ford Econoline 350 stretch edition so that I would have more room. Also, the suspension is a little heftier and would be easier to toss a diesel into it. The astro, however, is easier to drive....but I need to collect a lot of info about astro's very quickly so that I can make my decision...actually, I think Astro's are a lot cooler looking than the Fordkings-x59 wrote: Man, Peng you have got the astrosafari crak addiction bad, you have been all over this board.
