[The Tombulance]

&nbsp;Hi my name is Tom,<br><br>I've been looking at this site the last couple months and am working on making the leap to life on the road.&nbsp;&nbsp;Have been living on a boat for the last 15 years, so living in a van should not be as big a leap as those who lived in a regular house or apartment.&nbsp; I have a 1990 Chev camper van that I call the "Tombulance".&nbsp; When I first bought it my friend said it looked like an ambulance (because of the high white top)...I said&nbsp; "It kinda does..So it was named the Tombulance.&nbsp; I've been working since 1972 and you only get so many times to roll the dice. I have found all the information useful and the Forum interesting. I'm still a few months away as I have a lot of stuff to liquidate. Just thought I would start by saying&nbsp; "Hello" to all. I'm at work now so need to sign off now to close up. Look foward to meeting new friends with new adventures.<br><br>Tom <br>

<p style="margin: 0px;">Welcome Tom and Tombulance!&nbsp; This is a fun place to hang out with many friendly folks.&nbsp; </p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I am beginning to think that a lot of skeptical people sound condescending 'cause they are secretly jealous.&nbsp; Some friends are really supportive, too.&nbsp; I have a&nbsp;successful buddy with a&nbsp;huge house and a&nbsp;giant mortgage that told me he'd love to just walk out and go live on the road.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I love sleeping in the van.&nbsp; If the mood strikes to just go down and sleep by the river, I can do it.&nbsp; Or I can grab some steaks and go camp at the buddy's farm and enjoy a sunrise.&nbsp; Best of all,&nbsp;there are hardly any expenses.&nbsp; Once I add solar the van will be off the grid 95% of the time or more.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">You've certainly come to the right place.&nbsp; It's a safe bet to say you are among some of the happiest people on the planet.&nbsp; Welcome!</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Bradford the "Van Trekker"</p><p style="margin: 0px;"><a href="http://vantrekker.blogspot.com/" target=_blank>http://vantrekker.blogspot.com/</a></p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p>
