Why buy a house when you can buy a $380,000 3rd Gen?

IMHO, way overpriced. My apologies if this is a repost. (disregard the ads with the chic and face tats)

Because I think a mini van motor would be a little weak for a house.

 

Minivans are pretty badass. You'll eat humble pie when a van full of teenagers blows by you on the trail in their Chrysler Town & Country.

 

A Chrysler Town & Country wouldn't make it through the first creek crossing to my spot.

 

I've seen some strange things on the trails straight out of the junkyard or a parent's driveway that didn't cost $380k (sans a Town & Country)

 

The ads I get are for Volvo. Thinking they are tailored.

 

The central A/C in my house is more powerful than the motor in that truck!

 

You are not wrong. But, you could sell your house and have a badass 3rd Gen (and be homeless)

 

I always wondered why the Sienna didn't have a torqueir engine. Who revs a mini van to the moon?

 

I love my Turd Gen and all, but definitely not the platform for that type of camper.

For $380K, you can buy something that can actually handle the load.

You can sell the bed and it offsets the price to $379,000

 

LOL!

 

I’ll take the Tacoma. In coastal northern Cali $380000 buys you a home with as much living space and a family of rats to keep you company.

 

I live in a van...I pee in a cup.

I live in a van...and poop in a pail.

 

The ads on that page are based on each viewers search history, product pattern, ad engagement, etc. So what have you been looking at on the internet?

 

Soon.... 380k won't even buy you that!

 

So it'll be propane free so how does the oven/stove work?

 

Electric?

 

500Ah is a lot of juice but
A: an oven would eat that up real quick
B: a couple, 100w panels on the roof are going to take a long time recharge those batteries. Even if there was 400w of panels it'd take >2 days of ideal conditions.

Or you just run the truck half the time for the DC-DC charger.
