Child of a DIY camp dad, I’ve been thinking about building my own camper since I was 8 yrs old. I’ve built furniture and done some home remodeling, but there’s a lot in camper vans for me to learn. My plans for this Ford Transit I just bought with each day I spend researching systems and features (ex: shifting heavily to propane and away from solar power atm). This project will be a great experiment in how much of a good thing I can handle. I always want to pack a guitar and bicycle – include a djembe when I can. Depending on how a couple of months in 2024 go, I plan to increase duration and frequency of trips to see if I should move into it full-time. In that case, there may even be a trailer for the motorcycle in my future.
