    Are van prices falling

    Maybe prices are dropping, but they always do before the camping and show season starts again. Also if you bought one of these vehicles to make a quick profit you will be disappointed. I bought my bus for me to relive some of my childhood, to enjoy tinkering with and spending even more money...
