Single Parent & New Shortie Owner

Hello from the Pacific NW!

I'm a single mom to an 8 year old and I just (rather impulsively) bought a 1995 Ford E350 7.3L diesel short bus with 108k miles.

I work in local government and have my kid 10+ months out of the year. I plan on taking my time with a conversion (blogging about it in the process) and eventually moving onto the road full time.

I know absolutely nothing about vehicles, construction, wiring, plumbing, etc. But I am determined, crafty, and I can follow directions well.

Looking forward to the community aspect and depending on the interwebs for a whole lot of direction!

Welcome aboard! The 7.3L diesel engine is a very reliable power plant.
