Van mom was pretty geeked to get on the road to Ramer Alabama. The entire winter had been spent training for this special week. She was meeting three of her cycling friends for a week of miles and smiles…..and oh yea, calories! Warm temps and scenic routes were the rule of the day. I really helped van dad up his […]

Once again the snow gods held on to the white gold and snowmobiling and grooming came to an end for van dad in early March. This gave him the opportunity to start building a cabinet. This would have sliding drawers as well as have a frame for the isotherm refrigerator/freezer. Hours of you tube research went into this portion of […]

The final leg of the trip back to Michigan ended in Grand Ledge. I was tucked in for the winter or until an opportunity arose in which van dad could get some more DIY time. That time presented itself in mid January. Unfortunately for all the sled heads in Michigan, there was a snow drought. The forecast was dismal for […]

The time had finally come. After two very busy and beautiful weeks in south Texas, we were finally hitting the road to Michigan. Van dad was very pleased with how well I motored down the road. I get pretty darn good mileage being a diesel and all. Because I have a large surface area, I do catch a quite a […]

Just to make sure you don’t get bored reading only about me, I will be including cute/adorable/darling and other interesting aspects of my van parents life. The Beamer trip was timed so that Yoopa (van dad) and Grammy C (van mom) would be in the lone star state to celebrate the Texas Stars third birthday. She is one very expressive […]

Numerous packages had been ordered in Grand Marais and were set to arrive in Texas at the same time the Beamer and my van parents arrived. They planned on being in Texas for two weeks working on me with the goal of driving me back to Michigan and being able to stay/camp along the way. First went in the sound […]

The Texas daughter has a daughter ….. the Texas Star! She has pushed all my buttons and has run me through product testing since my arrival in south Texas.

I arrived in south Texas in August but had to wait until October for the arrival of my van dad and mom. They left Michigan in late October on a two wheeled machine called Beamer. They rode 1400 miles and experienced all kinds o weather, including getting caught in a serious downpour. Sometime things just work out. Well, really, things […]

Sunday….kind of a funny name for a van. There is a story behind the name, but first a little bit about myself. I am a 2019 Sprinter van with a Freightliner badge on the front grill. Apparently, I checked off a number of boxes that were important to my new van dad. I am a one ton dually diesel with […]
