Hi all,
I've been following Bob's videos for awhile and recently gutted the backside of my 2000 Ford E350 15 passenger van to the metal.
I have placed wiring, plumbing, insulation and wood surfaces to the floor and ceiling so far. I picked up a solar system, battery bank, dometic refrigerator, mattress, heating and fantastic fan. I mostly tried using Bob's links to Amazon for these buys so he could make a few pennies. He seems like a person who helps so many.
Many years in construction trades have taken a toll on my 62 year old body, and this build/project seems to moving at a snails pace. Nonetheless, I plan to attend my first RTR next month in a partially completed van.
Honestly, after open heart surgery in August, 2016, I found myself sitting in this house not able to work anymore due to multiple health issues. I was waiting to die. This project and my plans to travel have reinvigorated me, given me a reason to put on my boots in the morning. I am loving life again.
Bob has said, "go with what you've got", I believe. LOL, I had the van and I have a 5 year old great dane named Spottie. I was thinking about making a perimeter with caution tape around the small area where he might be occasionally tied up?
Anyway, I have been reading for awhile on this forum and have picked up tons of useful information. I sure get a kick out of some of the personalities on here! There are a few of you that I hope to meet at this RTR.
I will probably put some photos of the van build up in the proper section of the forum when I get the time.
