Thought I'd throw this out there: if anyone is looking to get a van transported from coast to coast, I'd be interested in doing a fly/drive for you for expenses only. Our planned cross-country trip for this summer got canned (we went to Europe instead; my wife's choice) and I still have the bug to do a long drive. I'm located in the Philadelphia area. I telecommute for my job so am pretty flexible (can do it from the road easily).
Also happy to check out any potential for sale vans locally if anyone needs it. I've already done so for a forum member who bought a Sprinter van this spring.
I've been driving vans since I learned on my dad's windowless Dodge Maxivan back in the mid-80s. Have done two drives to Alaska from the East Coast and one other coast-coast r/t in our SMB last summer.

I may have other opportunities in the future as I am looking to buy a couple more in the next few months.

Sounds like a fun trip for your daughter! If they need an emergency contact here in Philly area, ping me.
Where did you find the van in Wilmington for sale? I regularly check CL here in the area but almost never see any listed. Figures, I'm out of the country for four weeks and one shows up for sale! Hope it all works out for you.

Thank you for the offer.
It was on CL a few weeks ago. Original owner with 88K miles, 5.4L, EB51, Penthouse, White... has everything but the 4X4. Very nice SMB and perfect for our plans.
