Hi all, just want to say hi and introduce myself.  I'm retired; 20 years Army and then 23 years  driving tractor trailer rigs throughout the US and Canada.  I bought a 2012 Transit Connect and am looking at converting it and becoming a full time RVr.  It has more room than my tractor did LOL !!! and I was quite comfortable.  Look forward to talking to y'all.

Hi, Bob,
Welcome. I immediately thought of steering you to BigT's thread detailing how he converted his Connect and added a neat outside shower. Here's a link:

And I'll echo the "thank you" for your service.

Thanks all and Matlock, it's always great to hear from a fellow Buckeye.  In the process of selling the house and all its contents.  After 23 years of gallavanting all over the US friends are surprised that I'm retiring and going right back out LOL !!!   Hopefully be all done by spring and maybe start working my way towards Alaska to visit with the son and grandkids.

Always managed to stealth park this rig close to my customers. LOL, the TC ought to be easier.
