Hello newbie here

My name is Abby and I live in Texas. My grandparents had a skoolie, and now I want to convert one. I'm doing research and saving money now. My boyfriend and I are interested in living in an RV full time after he finishes physical therapy school. I look forward to learning lots from this site.

Welcome.

It's great to have you here.

Read as many build threads as you can. That's where the real info is.

Every bus build is a reflection of the builders skill, character, and personality.

Some end up as life stories.

I personally love the build thread section and read every one posted on this forum.

Some really good builders are just south of you in Houston (Tango being a STELLAR one!). Might want to take a road trip and look at some down here to help with your ideas..... Just sayin'....
