This guy told me he would sell me this completely re-modeled VW van for $40k, figured I could have it shipped to Thailand. Ya think I could take this over to Pattaya, park it behind the old Secrets, shag a few birds in it, that way I would not have to pay for a "loom" There was enough room in the back for a "3 some" LOL! Got 45 more pics of some great cars, will post up after i get back from holiday, leaving tomorrow. Awesome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like every other vehicle is a VW, at least when I was last there. *Another once great place for travelling that has now disappeared off my radar.

Butch Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Kind of on the subject, crossing the Sahara in 1959 in an Ex Army truck took some serious balls. Taking the "van life" to extremes before "van life" was even a thing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Not too shabby, for around $30 k..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-SAyYEWmJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly cramped, offers decent accomodation, as good as any Condo might with the added bonus of mobility. Would it be possible to find an area, park up and just live there for weeks on end without any hassle?. Yeah, they can pay for themselves. I lived in my 27 footer for about 7 years after I got divorced. I pulled it to all the refinery shutdowns, paying $200 - $300 a month for a space, while getting $100 per diem that those without a trailer spent on motel rooms. I never worried about finding a more permanent domicile as I was always on a job somewhere. It went across country three times. It’s been to Lake Okeechobee, in southern Florida and as far north as Anacortes, Washington. I eventually moved into an apartment and later bought a home, when I got married again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 When I took early retirement in 1997 I bought a 21 foot Bedford motorhome. Ford 302 v8, shower, toilet, tv etc. Spent 3 years roaming the east coast of Oz with a gf, from Ceduna up to Daintree. Free camped most of the time, plenty of spots. A great life-style, joined a club and met some lovely people, many I still am in contact with 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
