If it turns out looking like Scooby Doo, it's because, thats the way, YOU LOOK AND ACT!! If you get to be a part of this, and you are, the Scooby, just clean up your act for a little while!! Rutrow! The History channel is one of the targets, to highlight this way of life, that is still around, for almost 4 decades!! New and Young Vanners welcome, with open arms,Don't let anyone get your Rock!!

I think this whole thing is wonderful and Howards' play by play is a great tool for all of us. As he so blatantly stated we have a 50/50 shot at this helping and a 50/50 shot of it hurting. I think we vanners are guilty of being to nice and open at times and that is what makes us so vulnerable and easily hurt when things don't go the way we hope. I applaud Balint and Dan for helping him get his foot in our door. I will also help him out in any way that I can. I also want to suggest to him to get as much info from as many different vanners and van owners as possible. We are a strong family of individuals and even though we all view a lot of vanning similarly, we also have a huge difference of opinion in where vanning, is and where we would like to see it go. Everyone above has made GREAT points and I agree with nearly all of them in one way or another. Lets just give what we feel comfortable with and hope that in the end nobody has to say "I told you so"! | | | Re: Van Documentary | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 | Well Put Ken Vannin is a lifestyle,Our lifestyle

I, too, am interested to see the early videos, and will do what I can to see this project be a success. Dan, we have met in person only once, but I trust your instincts. Every van and vanner has a story to tell, picking the most interesting ones to fit into a time frame will be the biggest challenge! No Scooby/child molester/bank robber/hippie refences allowed!

I'm on top of this, and will watch it carefully. With total respect to our lifestyle. So far, it's only about me and my life long van, Zoomie, but I get boring pretty quick. So I hoped we could find other life long vanners to share their passion. No scooby's!! Hey, now hippies, I'm a short haired (balding) Real Estate Broker/Developer, that sings in the Church Choir, But you can Bet, that I am still a Hippie in my heart anyway!!

One theme I seem to keep on seeing in the pics, both old and new, is rainbow tie dye.
And there is no shortage of long haired party animals sleeping in their vans.

You're scaring me now.
