I haven’t finished watching, in fact it’s only up to the lounge area but I NEEDED to say how happy I am to finally see people who realise that dogs should be secured during travel just like humans. They should not be left to lie around or sit on someone’s lap in the front! For all those out there that say “it’s fine, I’ve never had an accident”. Well first of all it’s not just about you but all the other people in the road and it’s about your animal/s. It’s selfish to want your dog to sit in your lap or somewhere close by unrestrained. It’s like a child wanting to climb about in the back of a car while your driving. You wouldn’t let them do that because 1) it’s not safe and 2) it’s against the law. So why not treat your pet/s with the same love and respect.

Her personality really grows on you. Great couple, great van. I like the bench in the front so it's easy to have guests and utilize the front seats as a hangout area.

I was told by Quigley that a four wheel drive Sprinter is really only All Wheel Drive, but they call it 4x4. Interesting. I am curious to know how your upgraded Promaster does in snow and ice! What a beautiful van build! I don't do instagram but would have loved to see more of your build :)

I have been drawn to African America culture since I was a little girl and now I know why!! It’s in my blood!! Forrest and I have studied and read some amazing literature from black authors and activists. We are both born activists so it was natural for us.
