I 100% agree that I could make my van extremely comfortable and I am slowly but surely. I'm currently saving for an espar and a generator, after that I'm having it well insulated and adding a roof ac unit. Just takes time to save the money and I can sometimes be lazy lol
But that 5k could be made up fairly easily over the life of a van. My ford has 50k miles so it has lots of life left, the earning potential I think would be worth it plus I'd get an extra 10 cents a mile from Tri state
