Well now that you have found the forum, spend time reading the subforums here on topics that interest you. Also, if you have wireless or sufficient data, go onto YouTube and search for "vandwelling", there's about 2000 hours of videos you can watch on all phases of vandwelling, conversions, selecting a vehicle, daily living, parking etc...
Let me invite you to view my two websites below. The top one is for fitting out a simple Cargo Van for week end and day trip travels (or even nice weather vacationing) It could be enough to get you started out and learn what you don't know yet.
The second is a portal of handy information that you can use before you have a Van/RV to learn from and plan
travels. Then if you are out on the road, it can help you navigate in your travels and find things for your comfort and convenience.
