    Transit Connect Conversion

    Yep.  Since there's no drain I wanted to make it easy to toss the water, so it drops down between the side rails.  And, that lets me slide it to one side or the other depending on how far out the pull out kitchen is.  I'll know more about how well I like that after I've had it out a few times.

    First van and first post

    Hi!  I'm retiring next year and looking forward to extended van tours to play music, hike, and see the country.  Right now I'm busy converting a 2011 Transit Connect, and this site has been an inspiration and a great help.  I'm looking forward to being a part of this online community.
