Hello to all.
My first van-dweller experience was in 1977 when I converted a 1963 Ford Econoline bakery truck into an insulated, equipped, livable van, and spent the winter and next year between ski-bumming and temp working throughout the western states. If van-dwelling existed at the time, I hadn't heard about it. My van went several times back and forth to the east coast, down to Baja California with surfboards and so on. I loved it.
Many years later, in Europe. Spring of 2020, COVID pandemic. Not easy to find a hotel room to stay in, so I convinced my SO to convert our 1998 Toyota Previa that we'd used to haul babies, dogs, and baggage around Europe into a convertible stealth camper. Curtains, big mattress on the lay-down back seats, minimal camping gear stored here and there, mosquito nets over the windows, chamber pot... you guys know the story!
We don't actually live in it full time - not yet? - but we use it when we travel, and find places to park for the night.
Looking forward to enjoying this site.
