ARLINGTON, VA – Last March Jason Talley and myself split the cost of a 2000 Four Winds Hurricane. As many of you know, that RV was soon dubbed MARV and became the fourth and best-looking member of the Motorhome Diaires (especially after his transformation into a rolling billboard for liberty).

Over the next seven months MARV traveled to 43 of the lower-48 states so that his crew (me, Jason, Adam Mueller and, for short stints, Allison Gibbs and Ryan Maddox) could interview and share the stories of activists, policy scholars and others advancing the ideas of liberty and bring us to meetups in 55 cities to network such folks.

But MARV was more than just means to get from point A to B. MARV helped to connect and grow the liberty community, putting people in touch who might otherwise never meet and introducing the ideas of liberty to receptive minds for the first time. And MARV helped disseminate different strategies and tactics, enabling us to learn from each other and have a greater impact. In the end, MARV helped to underscore why we’re so passionate about this movement, causing many of us to redouble our efforts.

So, though the title for this post isn’t 100% accurate (prior to being handed over to his new owner MARV will accompany the Liberty Caravan) it’s with a bit of heavy-heartedness that we announce that MARV will soon be put up for sale on eBay (March 4-14th). While there are many pros and cons to this decision one obvious benefit for us is that we’ll be able to allocate the capital now tied-up in MARV to other projects.

We thought the earlier we announced MARV’s pending sale the more eyes we’ll get on the auction, hopefully increasing MARV’s chance of finding a good home. If you have any specific questions about MARV or his sale, feel free to leave a comment or email us: mail[at]motorhomediaries.com Questions about MHD or future projects will be addressed at a later date.

While on the road we were fortunate to cross paths with a great number of the current and budding luminaries in the liberty movement, many of whom shared their signatures, quotes and well-wishes on MARV’s guestbook (his ceiling).
