Earthroamer Founder "Bill Swails" passes away at 60

[adam88]

I searched and searched these forums, but I didn't see any mention of this. I was suprised to find out that Bill Swails, founder of Earthroamer, has passed away. Apparently he died about 6 months ago.

Here's his obituary: https://www.themillerfuneralhome.com/obituary/WilliamJBill-Swails

Just thought those who didn't know might want to know. Bill sure accomplished a lot in his 60 years on this earth! Rest in peace!

Sucks. 60 isn’t very old.

Met him when he first started selling the ER's. They sold for $75k! He was a nice guy.
His first camper build was on a 2500 Dodge with a Cummins. He wrote for the Turbo Diesel Register for years, telling about his travels with the camper. Very good writer, his exploits were interesting. I still have all the back issues, going to pull them out and re-read.
