Pre-coffee, but my timeline was something like this:
- 1988-1990 lived in a travel trailer
- 2011 - built a minimal rig in a Ford Ranger with $25 craigslist camper shell
- 2015 - started thinking about a campervan retirement ~2028, reading forums, posting on /r/vandwellers (different username)
- 2016 - research intensifies, RTR
- 2017 - bought vehicle, started the build
- 2018 - transferred job to an area where I could live in the van and save money
- late 2019 - work got shitty, realized I had enough $$ to retire early
