Bowen Island, B.C., Canada

Purchasing the Version II van was not too terribly eventful. Went through a lot of advertisements on line and finally went out to New Westminster to look at a Grumman GMC panel truck. Didn’t get that good feeling from it mechanic wise, and it is a little smaller than it looks and the shelving is way too attached to the walls to easily removed and so it’s a pass.

The second one looked at worked. Rebuilt engine in the past few years, converted to run on pump gas or propane and lots of cargo area. The owner was willing to leave the signage on, and the big blue Record vise is still on the back bumper, it looks like what it is – a work truck. Uneventful trip back other than the propane tank was empty and ran on gasoline all the way. And I know for sure that the small gasoline tank will get me at least from Agassiz to Bowen Island! The propane tank is huge and is meant to be the main source of fuel, 184 litre fill up upon return.
