Hi my name is Jerimae Yoder on behalf of Expert Village so when your getting ready to take off you may even get to a place where you doing a couple 1 or 2 off shows and you may even want to think about flying rather than taking your van. Obviously flying is going to be way more expensive to get to point A to point B if your just going to do 1 or 2 shows maybe okay. But if your doing a whole tour and you plan of flying probably not going to happen man it's going to be way to expensive and you can't get sound gear to those places. You have to rent sound gear or the venue is going to have to provide the sound gear, it gets really hard to fly from place to place. So get a good van get a good trailer make sure that there all in great working order before you leave have them check out by a mechanic, and get on the road and do that thing. Make sure you have something like AAA or some sort of back up plan in case you guys get stranded that's a really good thing to have in your back pocket.
