Newby Questions

[tomh]

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a Ford Transit 250 long w/med roof, and having it converted into a camper van, that I intend to live in after I retire as a school teacher next June. I want it to be inconspicious so I can park it on the street without attracting attention, but also comfortable. I don't need a shower, or flush toilet, but would like a stove, microwave and refrigerator. Can someone recommend a company that does conversions, preferably in California, Nevada or Oregon? I am also open to any other suggestions, such as the make of van, new/used and the need for stealth

I'm looking forward to simplifying life, with more experiences and fewer things. I also look forward to becoming a member of this community and participating in many of the activities.

Thank you,

Tom

Sporstmobile is both well established and well thought of, and they have a office in Fresno, CA: http://www.sportsmobile.com/standardplans-info/

There's another good one I've looked at many times that's in the NW...I'll post it when I remember.
