Well here I am back on air Took several stops yesterday until I found this place wherethere is signal. One place; Bill Leahey's rec reserve was really good but no signal.

Hi all, Ray and I were talking tonight about perhaps buying an older van in the size we want 24-25 foot, and gut it and re-build the interior of it in what we want where we want it.

I think I am in the right area to ask this question if not then tell me please. The van we are looking at has got a 240v fridge and separate freezer only installed.
