    I am very, very, new, but after poring over all of the available info on this site, I respectfully submit: 'Camp-Innerds'. And believe me, that is spoken with LOVE.

    Our 550 Ultra is going into the build queue sometime late July/ early August. I am officially retiring June 30, so September can't come soon enough.

    My wife and I have camped for years out of an '87 VW vanagon, non-Westy style, just a 7-passenger sedan basically. Currently it is getting completely rebuilt: New paint, bigger wheels & tires, bigger brakes, heavy duty clutch, rebuilt 4-speed transmission (higher top gear added), + a 1.8L turbo Jetta/Audi 4 cyl inline 4 banger that will have adjustable hp ranging from 180 to 240 and similar torque values. Between the two expenses someone might ask, 'why not just get a small motor home?'. As far as I am concerned, if you can clean your campsite with a vacuum cleaner then there is something wrong.

    We are sooooooo looking forward to this new way of seeing our country.

    Thanks to all of you out there for your great stories, pix, ideas, etc. And thanks Evan, for getting a bunch of folks together, obviously with some encouragement from Camp-Inn.

    Welcome to the forum Tom and Gayle! Sounds like you've got a great plan for spending some of your time in retirement. Our daughter and son-in-law just bought a '74 VW camper/van and will be spending a good amount of time and money repairing and restoring it. We hope to one day actually camp with them.

    Congrats on the new purchase.

    tomNgayle,
    I like the sound of your vanagon. You have a real sense of adventure. Camp-Innerds, huh? The first I read it, I thought about the innards of the Camp-Inn. On second reading I realized you were utilizing the the second "n" to begin the added word...nerd. OK. now I get it. Welcome to the forum. We continue to grow. Thanks, Evan
