Hi there

[Brighid]

I'm Brighid. I've been cruising around the van dwelling/living websites for a while now, getting all kind of information. I've lived in vans off and on for years (I'm 47 now), due to economy/finances (re: disabled/poverty). Never built anything as fancy as I see others have! But now I want to. So I've decided to join the forums not just for advice, but for moral support! lol I'm starting out with -0- so no place to go but up! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Thank you <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Right now I'm even just trying to get the van to begin with! lol We'll see where it goes from there. I have dreams! Dreams of solar panels and satellite, and a gypsy/Bohemian motif! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" />

Your motif sounds fabulous! I'm just slightly ahead of you , started in the van 2(?) months ago.

With love ,

Hi Brighid, welcome to the forum! Be sure to chouck out the conversions threads for ideas on cheap or even free mods that we have done. I have one, " finally pics of my bus, Buford" where almost everything that has been done to it only cost me my time, most of the materials were recycled, or bought very cheap. Glad your here!

Thank you, guys! I look forward to learning more, and hopefully to begin as soon as I get the van! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> After that, the next part will be building my own <a href="http://tinyhouseblog.com/tiny-house-concept/gypsy-caravans/">vardo</a>, to be pulled by it! I'm very excited!
