I'm a 26 year old male from northern california. I have been wanting to downsize and live in a van ever since I started paying rent and was just recently given a 1985 dodge ram van that I am planning on turning into my new stealth home.

<P><b><FONT size=3>Welcome to the tribe. Sounds like you have a good start, a nice van. Not paying rent, a very freeing thought and at your young age saving money and spending it on adventure, how wonderful.</FONT></b></P>

One of the things you should do is check the brake lines, they rot out fast if not used.<div>Try dumping some fuel conditioner in there as well it will help with the build up in the Carb and the varnish that developed from sitting.</div><div>good luck</div>
