Well I am buying a 1987 Ford Van 12 passenger extended 1 ton. It has cruise control, power windows, power locks, AC!!!! dual heat front and rear. I'm very excited... here are some pics.... I can not wait to start a build on this BADBOY i will be leaving the windows open but i will use that perforated vinyl stuff and then i will make my own shades for the inside... I have been looking at this stuff for over 2 years now. I think I'm really ready. I got a shopping cart at Amazon for 1700.00 for all my solar and hardware and somethings that BOB has mentioned getting. Have i mentioned I'm EXCITED!!!! getting it TODAY at 10:30 this morning...

RoamerRV428...... LOL.. love the name. I haven't named any of the others so to be honest I probably won't name this one either.

yea we aren't namers also for some reason. home on wheels is home on wheels, I kinda don't think of our rv as a to be named item I guess in our lives. I know we called it PIA and Piece of Sh** a few times in its lifetime HA

Congrats Sky,  I'm still floundering and searching for my BUGGY.

Is your new home a boy or girl?  If a boy, could be called <b>Homer</b>

BTW Sky, The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer"><b>HOMER</b></a> I meant was not Simpson :s

Of course, still along the Homeric line, <b>Odysseus</b> is another idea.

I didn't see ant rust and looks like it is pretty solid. Any idea how many miles? Be sure to save some money for repairs if it has been sitting as all fluids, belts, hoses and anything rubber will need replaced.

Looks nice and roomy! Also, I like the windows all around for more light!

Does the ac work?? Front and rear? The heat too?? I have a 94 with front and rear heat that works great but I have to fix whatever makes it switch back and forth from heat to air in the rear which I believe is done with vacuum. I’ve had it zip tied in the ac position all summer but want it to be right where I can switch back and forth from the dash. If all of this works on yours your very lucky at 750 bucks.
