Things like tables, space, what kinda primer, does it even NEED primer etc etc etc....
Come visit us in Dunnellon and we will spend some time talking you through the process and show you several RV's.

Default Go/no go

Sounds like you have already done your homework. The hardest part is pulling the trigger. From there on its the start of a new life you want regret. There will be up's and down's. (more up's than down's) Vans has plenty of parts to reorder if and when there is a mistake made.

Like some of the post here say, jump in and get started. You will have plenty of time to read between UPS shipments. You'll be on a first name basis with the UPS man before long.

You will need a couple of good tables or benches to beat your head on from time to time. Did I mention a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a few bandaids (blue tape works just as good)

It really helps if your wife is on-board with this project from the start. You'll need someone to help buck rivets in those tight spaces.

I almost forgot this one! Be in a public place when you tell her that she needs to park her car outside the garage for a while. Hope it doesn't snow there much.

You can do this cause you got a whole choir here on VAF. We got your back!!
