I would either do this: http://cheaprvliving.com/Steves_Van_Conversion.html

Or get a job as a long haul trucker.

Vandwelling = awesome.

The van is cool, but if you build it then don't you have to live down by the river?

That guy must enjoy pooping by the side of the road a lot more than I'd imagine I would.

A quality girl wouldn't mind living in a van with the one she loved.

The problem is telling a girl you live in a van because we all know women like money.

That is a real interesting site. I've owned a van since '93, and have become a converted man. I still have cars. and have used the vans for work mostly, but I've always entertained the notion of extended campouts using the van as home base.

I have sufficient gear for camping, and could do a short stint pretty easily, but these guys live for months in theirs, and I might be too old for that lifestyle.

Mighty cool. If the economy doesn't turn around, we may be seeing much more of this..

Almost. More like a converted man in a cargo van. I'll never own another pickup; will always own a van 'til I go toes up. Never had a van with seats in the back.. where would you put the riding mower, 10' boards, plywood, sheetrock, tools, etc.

I had a couple of derelict cargo vans in the back yard that I used for storage. Did ya know that if you go about it right, you can put 3 RD350 Yamahas in the back of a '75 Dodge van?

Sold the bikes, then sold the vans to the scrap man (see $14 thread..) Still have (and plan to keep awhile) a decomissioned DHL E150 van I got a deal on. Notice you see more of those on the road without the lettering? Plenty of room for camping, race weekend, etc. Plus, you can carry anything but a full size refrigerator in there ('cause you're not supposed to lay them down). Currently used to haul Rubbermaid containers to fleamarkets and yard sales. Unemployment is a biotch..

If i lived in a van, i would have at least a 25% increase in cash flow.

How about just a separate sub-forum.

Count me in, BTW. Profiles should include current projects.
