Hi All,

Just purchased a 2002 Ford E350, 6.8L V10 camper van with Quigley 4x4 conversion. I live in Sacramento, CA. I'm completely new to this and looking forward to doing some camping off the beaten path. If you're in the Sacramento area and want to get together for a light trail ride or a short camping trip, please let me know.

Cheers!
Sean

Howdy all. Just picked up a clean '00 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban to start a mild camper build on. It's got the 6.0, rear hatch, a bit bigger tires than stock, and a nice aftermarket stereo.

I've got a '08 Toyota Sienna that we've been camping out of for several years (more on that build). Basically plan to move over as much of that build as I can, and adapt where needed. We're not looking to get too extreme, just want to explore areas that are more rustic than I feel comfortable taking the Sienna into.

Just here to find ideas for bed/storage systems in the Suburban - it's longer than the Sienna, but narrower and shorter, so we'll have to adapt some things.

Howdy,

I'm Richard from sunny Jacksonville FL, nice to meet you.

Got a 5th Gen 4Runner TRD Offroad (Sound familiar? lol)

Brand new to Overlanding, but when I was younger, I had spent a lot of time out on the trails in SW FL playing in the mud on a Brute Force 650.

Excited to get my feet wet, and start adventuring around Noth America!
