I'm not so sure, wasn't their talk about the van going in for a very lot of modifications once the artic trip was over, then all of a sudden it was 'sold'. Something happened on the way home for sure, we don't know what, but the next thing was the super emotional selling of the van. I don't buy it - that van needed a tit load of work to get it through mot, and now it seems to have had a ton of proper modifications done on it, all that capital investment for the 'new owner' to sell it back 6 months or so later!! Hell No, I think Creepy has gaslighted Lazy and the rest of the family into believing the van had been sold (lazy has no knowledge of their financial situation as Creepy deals with all that), Lazy possibly became aware that the van wasn't sold when the bill came in on the RV trip, but was still gaslighted that work needed doing before the sale could proceed, and now it had been upgraded I think she truly believed it would be put up for sale. The work has now been completed and paid for and Creepy has now brought it home rather than let it be sold.
I,don't think for 1 moment that van ever sold and it was always his plan to have some high spec modifications and will continue his DIY jobs.
