New guy from Ga

[Galactic_eyes]

Just found this forum while checking out the Cheap RV Living home site. <br>I've been researching for a while about transforming a van into a liveable camper. I have a 1983 Ford Econoline Extended back conversion van that I bought from my dad. The van mechanicaly is in top notch shape. The AC and even the cruise control which I was shocked still worked. The van will need a paint job. Over all it's in great shape. Hopefully my son and I can get started on pulling the interior out and layout what will be going back in.<br><br>Kevin<br><br><img rel="lightbox" src="http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums...9_521074914590059_404505847_n_zps825a3fba.jpg" class="bbc_img">

Hi Kevin, welcome. Lots of folks on here in the southeast. Im in NE Alabama, about 6 miles from Ga state line. Perhaps we will get a chance to meet and share a campfire one day.

Sounds good Les. I hope to have the van usable by Summer. My mother lives Attalla, Ala. Perhaps we could meetup sometime on my way to see her.<br><br>Kevin

Just got back from 4 days in the Cahoutta Natl Forest about 20 miles west of Dalton Ga. Had a great time, . Like I said, lots of folks in the area and lots of free camping, too. Why do we have to wait till summer? Finish up the van and let's head out ;0) we go camping all year long around here!

@Les, it's going to take me that long if not longer. Between work and the weather. I'll mostly be working on it in my spare time. I have a shop I wish I could pull it in but the van will not fit because of the height.
