Dinah, I was thinking that you should keep the van as long as you need storage space. A storage unit would cost you many more times $300 over the course of a year.

Once you no longer need extra storage space, then junk it for cash! :-)

On me: this plan would be in conjunction with traveling and would be the land I do the off the grid stuff on. I decided that placing my bets on Oklahoma is not a wise choice.
