Good day everyone, like a lot of others I have been reviewing this website and forum for several days. Tons of great information and what seems to be a great group of folks here.
I'm in my mid 50's widowed and getting really really tired of the rat race. Yet I can't escape it completely, obligations etc, but I'm working on it.. I Live in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles . I also run my own computer repair business, as a single owner operator, a one man show at times can get really hectic. But I do love the work and being independent has it's bennies. I have no SS or retirement plans. So I will continue helping clients remotely while I'm on the road and this will be my means of income. Hopefully I can reduce the cost of living once I go full time.
I'm starting out part time as in couple days here and there on the road while I figure it all out. I have a 2007 Ford Van Std length that's an open canvas, no windows other than rear. It's only got 51K miles on it and like brand new still.The only thing I've done to it and that was when I bought it new was lay in a floor. It's a multi layer of refletix, 3/4" ply and indoor/outdoor carpet on the top. Runs back to firewall.
I'm going to have a ton of questions unless I find them in here first. I'm quite able to do the conversion work as I'm skilled in woodworking, electrical etc. So I'm the labor and tech
I'm really looking forward to this as well as making some new friends here and on the road. I'm in no hurry so the building will be slow but hopefully just as I need it.
I'm leaning a tad bit towards the semi office, desk maybe but I'm open to suggestions. I do want...Stove, Fridge, porta potty and bed that's convertible/couch(maybe). this doesn't have a bubble top so head room is tight.
I do want to remain completely stealth. The only exterior Item I'm thinking of attaching is a roof rack for possible solar use and occasional carrying of a large object, plywood sheet etc. Having the rack and covering it I think will do wonders to keep the interior heat down. Not so sure about the drag factor.
I'm starting to get a little long winded here and I need to discuss some more topics specifically which I will start separate threads.
Take Care, Mike R
