Hi everyone!
Aaron of wander the west was nice enough to create a van forum for all of the van crowds. So I am hoping this will create a non biased forum for camper van enthusiast that will allow us to resource ideas and parts for our wonderful hobby.
I will throw some of my more recent project pictures up here to get things started.
Derek

Good to talk to you today Derek. I really like that your tops are lifted by remote control. I forgot did you say it was a mechanical or hydraulic lift?

Hey Derek!
Welcome to the WTW crowd.
Is that Chris's van?

Hey Marc, I am glad to be over here contributing the site. That was chris's van but he sold it and we are in talks right now to build out a lexus or a landcruiser so we will see what comes of it. I will be sure to post it up when it comes to life.

Damn, don't talk to you for a few weeks and already done with it ?

Half the fun is building it though.

Well, I for one, welcome our new Van Overlords!

Van conversions are of great interest to me, I look forward to seeing what you all have to offer. Great addition, DD. Welcome.

Welcome DSW, good to have some vannies on WTW. I would join the ranks myself if I could afford it. I love the idea of being able to walk back into the camper while on the road and giving my dog room to spread out and not be panting over my shoulder on a 15 hour haul :-)

For now though, stuck with the cab over camper.

Enjoy the site!
