Greetings,
I have been browsing this site for a while now and i think it is time to officially chime in 

First of all,thanks for all the collective information that you have assembled  and the support that you give in this wonderfull place.

The idea of downsizing and living on less is very appealing to me 

I will be stationary for a while and only taking extended trips around the country a few months at a time  in hopefully what i call the Turtle. I know it's classy for a truck camper.   :p Using it as a basecamp for trail running and hiking ,check it out. Not quite sure yet where to post it- under trucks or miscellaneous vehicles ? The base is a 1967 Avion C11 shell 

By the time i am done with it i am hoping to hit the road for extended periods in a fully self contained and self sufficient thingy that has more or less nothing to do with a regular RV type camper. And NO i am not restoring it to its former glory , some "Avionistas" will roll their eyes and scream sacrilege and some have already  :D    but it is going to be very functional and hopefully i will never need to plug it in and use shore power. And all on a relatively tiny budget  Fingers crossed 

Onward to this adventure and hopefully i meet some of you on the road.

Welcome to the forums.
So this will be an "Avion PU slide-in gone full custom"? We're all about customizing to your specific needs/tastes here.
Sounds like it will be something to see. Do you plan on giving it the super shiny polish job???
Post any questions and show and tell us about your progress .
In case you missed it we DO like pictures , yup yup. :cool:
 
Hey Michael....Congratulations. Sounds like a lot of work and a lot of fun deciding what you need in order to customize it. Good luck.
