Newbie.....questions coming soon

[hippyman]

Hi, this is my first post, so I figured I should tell ya'll a little about what brings me here.  In short, I am looking to suck the marrow out of life.  I come from a shadowed past, and am on disability, so therefore, I think I can pretty much just travel if I wanted to, but I'm getting ahead of myself here.   I am currently refurbishing a '95 conversion van, which is what I plan to make my main vehicle.(I'll keep ya'll upto date on my progress as it goes)  Right now, I'm on this site mainly looking for tricks of the trade, and ways to make this really work for me.  Hope to see ya'll around.

Welcome to CRVL hippyman


There are, as you know, lots of ways to live and tripping out in a Van is just another extension
of that.  

I was watching this video the other day.  Flash back to the 60's.   Instead of fighting back against the
War in Nam,  it's fighting back against the War on the Poor.  LOL   But these folks play the game a little
different.

Thanks  The interior is pretty much complete, the polyeurothane is just cracking; I just need to get some transmission work done on her.  I'm still on the fence about installing a cb.  I can't wait to get her back out on the road.  This has got to be my favorite form of travel

That's what we are supposed to be doing, that's what it and we are here for!  :heart:
