You can take your road trip adventures to the next level by converting a van to a camper. Van conversions are incredibly popular as they can sometimes be more affordable than purchasing an RV, and owners can create and design their own space. Â
There are some important criteria to consider before purchasing your van. After all, this will be your home base on wheels, and you want to be comfortable. The point of converting a van is so that you don’t have to stop and find a hotel on your trip or plan around specific spots to stay. Ideally, you’ll want a van that can easily be transformed into a space that is good for both driving and relaxing/sleeping. Â
Think about:Â
Interior height: Will you want to be able to stand up completely in your van? Do you want to have space to place a bed above other living or driving areas?
Cargo space: The back end of your van is going to be your living space, so the length and width will determine how much you can fit.
Fuel economy: You’re going to be driving around a lot, so you should consider if you want a gas or electric option.
Weight capacity: You’ll be filling your van with all the creature comforts of a home including a bed, seating area and possibly even a small kitchenette and bathroom. Make sure your van can easily handle the load.Â
The Ford Transit comes in four available models from the standard panel van to passenger options that have varying sizes of windows. It comes with an optional power sliding door and even has a built-in modem to help with internet access. With other features like adaptive cruise control for long stretches of road and Blind Spot Assist 1.0, this is a fantastic option. Maximum payload here is 5,110 pounds.Â
If you love the idea of traveling by vehicle, but are concerned about your carbon footprint, the Ford E-Transit offers all the space of a cargo van with the ability to charge up instead of fuel up. It comes in three roof heights and has a Pro Power Onboard, which supplies 2.4kW of power that you could use from some small electronic devices. Range varies from 126 -108 miles per charge, so this is a van that is ideal for those who like to make stops and explore instead of driving straight through for hundreds of miles. Maximum payload is 3,860 pounds.Â
The Ram ProMaster is packed with many standard features including driver assist tools and parking guidance. It comes in four different lengths (two with high roofs) which will allow you to pick the right interior space for your conversion. It can carry a maximum payload of 4,680 lbs. and can tow 6,910 lbs., so if you want to tow some toys on your trip this is the van to convert!Â
