I just wanted to say hello to you guys. I have been watching Bob's videos for a very long time and finally took the plunge because I am sick and tired of paying rent to someone else, and being treated like crap by the apartment staff and property management companies, want to start saving money, AND I want to be able to travel eventually.
Sooo... one week ago yesterday (Saturday), I bought myself a 2016 Ford Transit Cargo Van - High Roof - Extended Wheel Base!!
I have already started getting it ready for van life.
I have installed bubble wrap for dead air space as well as my reflectix pretty much on the whole cargo portion of the van.
Next week, I will begin on the plywood floor and see how far I get before my lease is up in July. It would be nice to be able to put up the walls, but if not, it will be livable and comfortable until I can get the walls done.
I am trying to do this all myself, because I live so far away from family, but I will probably need help from a friend when I go back home, in order to put the ceiling wall panel up.
Anyway, I just wanted to say give a big thank you so far to Bob Wells and to a member of this site "Almost There" who's build and suggestions I am trying to emulate as closely as possible. You both have been a big help in me getting this started.
I hope y'all have a wonderful day and I'll definitely be posting more about my journey here.
