So, What’s The Best Van To Convert

This is like asking what is the best type car. There are a lot of factors to take into account and everyone will have their own point of view based on their own experiences and bias. The beauty of vans is your perfect van may be someone elses idea of a nightmare (and vice versa). Individuality reigns supreme!

Questions to ask; Do you want a big van or a small van? Do you have a preferred make (Ford,VW, etc, etc)? Do you want to stand up in it all the time? Do you want a Fixed Bed… There are so many questions and factors. We can help to guide you, but only you can actually decide the answer to the equation “what is the best van to convert?”
