Tomorrow I test drive, then turn it over to my mechanic for detailed inspection.
Stop me now guys! Or cheer me on.

Van was converted to camper ready from a wheelchair conversion in 2012 with 90K miles.
The current owners did the conversion for their parents to visit and see the States. They removed all back seats, added a queen bed and cabinet for simple camp stove behind driver seat.
Have all the records, only thing left is watching ball joints, any future transmission or engine problems and an emissions check in my county.
E150 5.8, v8, 351Windsor. 106K miles, asking 5600 obo.
I'll be using it as a daily driver (I know!) I only drive may be 24 miles around town per week. Also plan a trip from NM to VA (1600mi?) once or twice a year. Plus getting away on occasion.
Here's the link if I'm allowed.

Thoughts? I'll keep 'yall posted on updates.
Thanks!

Thanks! My mechanic (since '97) said I should offer 5400 if it checks out. I was gonna go a little lower, 4700 or so. But seems Econolines are in demand and hard to find in such good shape. They love the van so much, they were holding it for me till Thursday.
I drove a 93 camper conversion with all the seats still in last week. Same Ford basically. I could tell it was mighty abused. Had a tow hitch, busted running boards, performance mufflers and a fridge and microwave that blocked the view out the window behind the driver side. Yea, gotta learn to use those mirrors!

Everyone thanks for the welcome. I hope everyone can see this.
I feel like a new member of a really cool bunch of real humans! On cloud 9 that I did it!
I'll fill in more but have to say this: "Following my dreams blasted me out of a rut! And it feels great!"
