Somehow we all survived the wait for the new van. Some of us survived easily but others had to resort to distraction techniques to get there.
Some distraction techniques we used:
...we tried to write a list of what we really needed to check / measure on van
.....we annoyed the dealer till he had a similar van getting ready for delivery and we visited with a tape measure , camera and note book
....we measured what we had including all our existing gear such as weber, all plastic storage boxes etc etc. the list changed according to where we were on the wait scale!
...we weighed what we were certain we'd use...to save time later..coffee maker etc and measured it to see where we stow it
....then we looked for things we thought we'd need. If sure, we bought it and weighed it ....if doubtful we left it in the list till we were sure.
And so it went on.
We finally collected the van and got a life, we thought.
Then we made more lists of what to change!
.
might tell you how much I liked waiting.
