So, we bought our RV this week. Hooray! We have transportation! We've been looking online on Marktplaats (kind of like a Craigslist equivalent in Holland) and for the last few weeks we've been narrowing it down to a few select that we like. Jason really liked this one, so he decided to call the owner to ask him a few questions. I had a good laugh when he told me about how the conversation went down. Apparently, Jason googled a few Dutch phrases, enough to be able to say, "Hello, my name is Jason. Do you speak English?" So with some shaky confidence, he dialed the number and Bertie picked up. Luckily, Bertie's reply was "Yes" (huge sigh of relief). I later joked with Jason asking him what he would have done had Bertie said "No." Haha. His response... "I don't know." Apparently, he hadn't thought that far ahead yet! ;)
Anyhow, we really liked the price and the low miles on this baby, so we found an RV company that would go out and inspect it (with a mechanic) and take more detailed pics for us (Thankfully companies like this exist for people purchasing high price items from across the world). Donna, our trusted 3rd party, sent us out a full report and gave us her sign of approval and we were good to go. So, we finally closed the deal! Meet Bertie (we decided to name him after his late owner)... our new home away from home!
