We're now staying with family in a guestroom, or as I call it: "The Base of Operations". Our mission? To acquire a "Mobile Command Center". So far we haven't met anyone who wasn't from Russia, so we were forced to conclude that Ohio is entirely comprised of Russian people. Each of these people owns at least one dog (though two is more typical). Our Base houses two toy poodles (ferocious guard dogs) and often hosts a neighboring Pomeranian.
This is our third day and we've already looked at 2 potential vans.They were both late 90s GMC Savana Conversion Vans with Explorer High-Top modifications.

One in green and the other in gold. These conversion vans have 4 Captain's chairs and a power bed that unfolds in the back. It also has a television and a lot of storage space.
The first ended up being not for sale, the second was in poor condition. But it was very helpful to get inside one of these vehicles. Now we have a much better idea of how much room we have inside. I learned that contrary to my belief, I can not stand full height inside the van, even with the high top. I also learned that the unfolding bed is much too small to be comfortable. We are considering going with our original plan of stripping the inside and installing a kitchen and bed.
We will keep our eyes open on the internet and in auctions for similar vehicles with low milage.
