Our first choice for a new (USED) van was a diesel Sprinter. Next were gas Sprinters, Transits, and Promasters. We wanted a cargo van with a ten foot long bed and six feet of standing room. It had to have…
So, I think we could become transition specialists. We have a little experience. Duwan has gone through an estate to set up a yard sale. And we both helped a friend get her mother’s house ready for market when her…
