Beautiful Sprinter Van Conversions

One of the ideas that my husband and I are toying with, is buying a used van and a sprinter van conversion ourselves. I’ve seen lots of sprinter van conversions as well as VWs and even the little minivan conversions; that just get me so excited.

It would be a more affordable option for us, even though the price of a used van is still in the $10k plus range.

Oh, the other part that is probably important to mention is that neither my husband nor I have any experience in doing this type of thing. Lucky Ben is a bit of a handy man… but emphasis on the word ‘bit’. :-O

My favourite are the sprinter van conversions because:

they don’t stick out like a sore thumb that they’re an RV
they’re tall enough to stand in (my husband is 6 ft)
small enough to drive almost all roads
large enough to not have to cook on the bed or shower in the kitchen

I’ve seen some pretty shoddy van conversions over the years, where a few pieces of wood are nailed together to form a platform for a bed, the kitchen sink is a bucket and the water supply is 2L plastic bottles. I’m not talking about those.

I’m talking about the van conversions where you’re grateful to lay your head at night, in a comfortable, warm, tidy, well-designed space. And visually pleasing would be nice too. I don’t need pretty, but I don’t want ugly either.

These are exactly what I’m talking about…

Much as I love seeing beautiful van conversions like these one, they do make me a tad nervous… now I want a van that looks like one of these! I don’t have the skills to build this myself, and I’m pretty sure my pallet of wood with a mattress on top is NOT going to cut it anymore. <sigh>
