It seems as I get older it becomes more important to do many projects because I want to there are no has to's just because I feel like it . I hope to bring some of these projects out in this forum Blog. Seven Years ago I was very ill and to keep occupied I built a small travel trailer. At first I could only work a few minutes at a time but slowly I became stronger worked more and healed myself. I finished the trailer ,and later burnt it as it was a pile of junk. But I built 8 more only having to burn one more and selling 7 getting my money back and a little bit more. I became interested in vans or class B's . and bought an old Chevy and built one . If you have ever Visited Cheap rv living you may have seen it as the article on installing a high top on a van , it was my Van known as CC. I rebuilt it three times and only sold it this year which I still regret. At present I have 3 older RV's , a 1972 Balboa on a GMC vandura , a 1988 Islander on a E350 . and a 1991 dodge B class. On this forum and blog I hope to share and learn as I work on these and other Projects. Most of my projects are meant to be options that are affordable for different lifestyles . I hope these will be of help and interest to many .

We purchased a 1968 Jet the last week of August. After assessing the water damage and the infestation of every little critter imaginable, we decided to take it down to the frame. we have now rebuilt the floor, and we are in the process of completing the walls. Basically a much bigger project than we thought, but we are excited to use it.
Thanks for the interest I will soon post a build that I have made . Brooke what type of build are you doing ?
As someone who is building from scratch... well basically... I look forward to any and all info you can share. I could sure use it! Welcome Sandy!
