Hello!
Kind of new to the board. I joined a couple years ago, but for some reason was't able to log in after a while, even though I knew the required info. That's OK, I didn't post more than once or twice back then anyway.
Now, however, I have a van, so I'm back!
I picked up a 2010 Ford Transit Connect cargo van and quickly converted it into a weekender/camping/music festival rig: bunk w/folding leaf, toilet, 2 tables (1 that folds out of the wall), water supply, camp stove, awning, sliding side windows, kayak rack, curtains, plywood/carpeted floor, DVD player, etc.
(completed within 6 weeks of purchase).
My plan/hope, after I no longer have any pets, is to sell/donate 90% of my useless belongings and live in a converted van of some sort. This one may be a bit small for a 6'4" guy, so for now I'm using it as a stepping stone to get used to the concept.
Once I find the right rig, I plan to continue working full-time and get a gym membership, for showers and swimming, and the smallest storage unit I can find for the stuff I'll need on a daily/weekly basis.
Hopefully everything comes together the way I plan. Good thing I have this site for all my upcoming questions and concerns.
