Total newb here, and have never owned an MV. I served 6 years in the army, so I do have experience driving plenty of them. I'm going to be moving cross country in about a year, to a year and a half (2300 miles) I don't have a truck to transport all my stuff in (4 bedroom house) so I figured I'd go the uhaul route. But then I was approached by a fellow I work with who picks up old deuces, fixes them up, and sells them off (typically at a loss, or very small profit, mainly due to the fact that the deuces are a hobby of his) He said he could sell me a deuce with good tires, soft top, no winch, that he's gone completely through, for about 3500 bucks.
A uhaul rental would be about 2000, and fuel would probably be about 1000, to 1500 (guestimating) The deuce would be 3500, and fuel would be about 2000. But my question for y'all is this, how much s**t could I fit in a deuce, and would it make it across 2300 miles without a problem? And what else should I take into consideration before making my decision?
Also, is there a trailer I could towe my car on, that I could also fit more stuff on around the vehicle? (4 door sedan)
And how much would bowes and canvas cost for the deuce?
Thanks for any and all input!
