Hi Folks, Introducing myself

[Curtis]

Hello folks,<br><br>Waving hi to everyone as I just found these excellent resources that Bob put up last night doing a search for van living information.<br><br>I realized recently that getting up to go work on someone else's dream to pay out most of my money to things that keep going up is just plain insane.<br><br>So consider this my start at looking for options one step at a time.<br><br>The option Bob has chosen, working during the summer in beautiful places and spending the winters on BLM land is a very good looking one.<img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"><br><br>Hopefully over the course of this year I can get to know some of you and also learn from you as well.<br><br>Curtis

Welcome and hello.&nbsp; Lots of good info and you are right about the insanity.&nbsp; Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.&nbsp;

Hi Curtis, I'm in the shopping phase, looking for a ford e-150/ 250, hopefully a hightop, with a 300 ci. 6 cylinder. I will take most anything if its a screaming good deal, and in decent shape, and long wheelbase. &nbsp; Duane&nbsp;

Sounds like a good idea.<br><br>After reading Bob's blog, much more entertaining than watching tv<img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">, because I want to be able to explore the remote areas have started looking on Craigslist for either a:<br><br>Astro Mini Van or<br><br>a Standard Cargo Van<br><br>I found a site called list-alert.com where I can make an account and search for what I want and save it and they will send me an email notice when it comes up for sale.

Welcome to the group Curtis! You'll find quite a bit of useful information in group. If you have any questions about "van dwelling" this is the place to do it.
