Wade, I've had many home made van conversions and that one is a really functional design. I like it....it's well done and thought out. I especially think that having thru access to the back doors is necessary. You can put so much more stuff in them.

The favorite one I had was similar to that one except the bed pushed up against the wall and turned into a couch. Across from the bed/couch was a narrow set of cupboards with a small countertop and two flip up tables. The sink was behind the driver's seat like the one on that website. The first van I did was in '71 and I've still got vans but now they are more of a utility vehicle even tho they have flip down beds for crashing on road trips. Now I'm expanding my horizons into the world of tiny trailers....but I still have a special place in my heart for vans.

Thanks for the link. It brought back some great memories. I'm glad to see people are still vanning.

Sure thing George. And thanks for the fold-up couch/bed idea!

This is a really crude drawing of how I made the couch. It had cushions and I just pulled the seat part out and the back fell flat to make a bed. There was storage under the base. It saved quite a bit of space and people could ride in the back sitting on the couch.
