Hi all, my name is Lou. &nbsp; I recently bought a 93 E350 7.3L diesel van that has been converted to 4x4. &nbsp;The original thought was to use is as a "bug out vehicle" if society went even further into the crapper. &nbsp;But lately I have been thinking of doing more work on it and converting it into a RV for the wife and me. It has the bare bones done, well some of them, already. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I was directed here from RV.net, glad they did, a lot of good ideas and such here. &nbsp;Oh, just bought Bob's book for the kindle. &nbsp; 10 or so pages in and im hooked on the book, not sure the wife will ever be convinced, but hey ya never know.<br><br>Here are a couple pics of my beast.<br><br>Later, Lou<br><br><br>

Really? &nbsp;I could get away with that where I'm from (NE), just park in places with hi-tops, funeral homes, elderly places, schools, etc. &nbsp;Its the first look you have to worry about, not the second&nbsp;<img src="/images/boards/smilies/cool.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">
