Thread 5001 I think. From a newbie

[freerover726]

About me. Caucasian male. 50. alone. Living in Idaho 

Working on camper van. Hope to start living full time on the road boon-docking in winter 2020-2021. With things changing rapidly in the world I might start sooner than later. 

Anyway I would love to meet others on the road for caravans, campfires whatever comes up! 

I thought the process of finding forums would be difficult if not impossible in these times. It seems much easier than I thought! I have found many resources already. I may have a Beta version of my van by summer. Converting 1989 Ford econoline van 1/2 ton with high top. I removed the seats and added a bed. Added Solar panels to the top 300 watts. And three Solar batteries, Have shore power etc. Thing to install I already have waiting. Among other things. Catalytic propane heater 1000-1600 BTU.  Three more solar panels bringing it to 500 watts plus a 4th solar battery. It has 2000 watts shore power and a 700 watt regular power inverter. Finishing the interior and side vents with fans. Finish installing backup camera. Porta potty spot? 

  Other considerations are a side tent for extra room. Mounting my tv. Installing Cell tower repeater booster. Plan on using microwave for some cooking.  

Need suggestions for portable shower, water tank etc. I have most of the summer to work all this out.
