Thank you to everyone here on the forum. I've been lurking and scouting as my plan to Snake Plissken it "Escape from New York" as the winter approaches. I feel safer on the road and will depart in a few weeks and head across the CA to visit my folks.
I picked up a Silver XLT LWB this past weekend. A 2016 with 68k miles on it. Its a passenger version I'm going to convert to #vanglamp a little bit. Won't be living in it full time but will build out storage and a platform to sleep on as needed. Will probably more airbnb it frankly. But I'll be all set to sleep in it for a couple days as needed. Will post plans and photos as I get the build going.
SUNROOF RECALL! This has the panoramic sunroof too - subject of a recall issued just this May. Anyone get their roof repaired by a Ford dealer yet?
REAR SEATS Got the rear seats out (third row) and plan to dispose of them but keep the second row (bucket seats). Anyone in the NE area want the third row seats? (I have no place to store them).
Plan:
- birch wood platform
- maybe a Goal Zero or Jackery
- not doing electrics or solar just yet outside of the above
All for now!
