prelim plans to roll out in 4 yrs

[user 21264]

hello all,
i'm beginning plans for a full time van residence. 
i hope to "roll out" in about 4 years (upon retirement). 
i've lived in the piedmont of north carolina all my life. 
i'm a hammock camper, hiker and diy'er. 
i'm enjoying lurking around the forums and taking in as much knowledge as possible.    
thank y'all for sharing your "van smarts".

Hi Bob, welcome... as a "hammock camper, hiker and diy'er" I think you will have a lot to share with us. Feel free to join in on the conversations... I'm also not in a van yet. I expect to be within about six months or less. Right now, like many others, I'm downsizing.

hammock camper....very cool. very minimal, I love minimalist cause I am one also

a van addition will be like a wonderful set home to you when you are ready to hit the road. I love a high and dry place vs. my old tent times camping. That high and dry meant the tent could be retired and I was more comfy, always a good thing for me LOL

best of luck, 4 yrs will fly by in a blink of an eye, how the years go so fast is amazing, you be sure to enjoy your future adventures!

Welcome, Bob!
I am also looking at a roll-out in a few years--in my case, probably June, 2024. Can hardly wait!
Hope you were able to stay reasonably dry during Florence! My folks ended up in Burlington--pretty countryside, but I am glad I didn't have to worry about them dealing with a hurricane!
