We picked up a passenger van several years ago to transport my severly disabled mother. But, we quickly found other uses for it including as a weekend escape vehicle. There has been nothing special that I've really done to our van. This will be our 4th summer with it and I've added a cheap inverter, a portable toilet, a couple of air mattresses, and we will bring along a camp stove and a cooler.
Anyone else here ever venture in to van camping or have a van that you have converted?

This reminds me of a situation I had years ago. Making love on a beach always sounded great, then you realize one grain of sand an kill the mood...what seems like a great idea, after a while, isn't so great after all.
I've seen some really expensive, conversion vans over the years. The only issue I have is, bathing facilities and not having to put the bed up and take it down and just overall lack of space. When weather is bad, no real place to get away from it all.
For a day or two I'm sure it would be great, but, at this point In my life, I like a few more creature comforts....water, toilet, shower, recliner, refrigerator, range, space etc.. 50 years ago.. who knows, I may of been next to you.
Were lucky we live in a country where everyone is free to choose what works for them.
Happy Camping !
