Noobee finally got my own SMB!
Hi all, I've been watching this forum for a long, long time in anticipation of one day having my very own SMB. About one month ago, I finally got one! Absolutely zip zero zilch no regrets, loving it!
I bought a 2009 E-350 with 6.0 PSD. With only 18k miles, it's practically new! It was in storage for a long time, so I've had to make a few repairs, but after a little TLC for the engine and such, it's ready for adventure. Now, if only I had the time...
Really enjoying all the info you guys share on this forum, learning more and using it as a great resource for information. And looking forward to contributing!
A few pictures of my van are in my profile folder. She's big and tall and has all the most awesome toys. I'm not sure which aftermarket feature I like the most yet; the air horn is definitely a favorite. 
I can't wait to meet more of my fellow adventuresome souls. This one is dedicated to climbing, skiing, hunting, and ROAD TRIPS!

Congrats! That rig is georgious, what a great score.
Checked out your gallery, would love to see some more pics like side shots.
I noticed that you have an upper bed, whats it like with that voyager top? I've heard it can be tight.

It's certainly cozy in the loft. I'm a slender guy, so I can comfortably climb in, roll over, and move freely, including with my girl (no, not my dog  ) up there with me. I like having a dedicated bed space; noteworthy that the couch folds down to a bed, too. The loft is most definitely not for everyone, and I was hesitant at first. Now, I really really like the fixed top for convenince and warmth. Bear in mind: I'm a climber, and I'm comfortable sleeping in bivouac bags, tiny tents, small ledges, porta-ledges, etc.
I'll post up more pics soon.
