Man, I can't tell you how many big forums I've joined that have had "the cool kids" splinter off into smaller forums.
Fortunately, it's often for the better. As Queen said, as long as the focus is on each other rather than hate/disgust/distain for the big board, things can be really lovely.
Umm....I'm honored to get the tap on the shoulder. Thanks, Cammie, guess that stinkin' badge is worth something after all. Not sure how I made the cut, but I'll try to pull my weight and post funny pictures in the humor thread.
I'm probably the n00biets n00b around here, so I don't really know any of you...well, except Queen as we've hung around together on another small board. But I am very much looking forward to getting to know y'all better. Looks like it'll be about a year and a half before I can sell the house and roll out of here a nomad. It's comforting to know I'll have some good friends here to help me work the kinks out and stare at a campfire with.
My vehicle's name is Putt.

On another forum some joker thought it would be a good name because when I hit the road I could start a thread called "Putts' putts in Putt"...looking forward to starting that thread...here. Kinda torn about whether or not to start my build thread all over again here....or whether to maintain it over there. I know I'm going to like it better here, but step van builds are rarer than one would think and I like the exposure for others who might like to give it a go. In my mind a step van is the perfect nomadic vehicle...but I know that's just my mind.
Here's the inside as it is right now.

I'm about half way done with Phase 1 of the build: Making it basically livable so I can sell my house and take early SS retirement. I'm 61 now. Phase 2 will be throwing lots more money at it for more PV and batts, radios, stereo, alarms, cameras, custom rear bumper to mount a motorbike (TW200), engine rebuild, blah, blah, $$$blah.
Probably won't be a big poster as I write for a job and posting often seems too much like work. But if you post some philosophical musing I'll end up jumping in with both feet. Sorry in advance.
Here's a pic of me and my stinkin' badge.

Enough for now. Thanks for having me, I appreciate it greatly.
