I want to take a cargo van and refit it with a bed, carpet, cabinets, etc. to
use to do some traveling with. I need to find some web sites that
might have some ideas on how to do this. Can you help?

Hello boorah,

I found quite a few detailed sites and resources that should aid you
in your conversion. I even found a few other relative resources and I
will list those as well. I am assuming you are from the U.S.A - but if
you need more locations on a worldwide basis, simply let me know, and
I'll dig up some more.


Van Conversion Plans
These ones cost a small fee - but have full schematics. They also have
multiple plans for different sizes.

I didn't even get to visit most of the sites I found at About.com.
They always have a highly detailed area for just about everything -
including conversion projects:

About.com - Truck and Van Conversion
http://trucks.about.com/cs/vanconversions/

Vanworks Campers was the one I was really impressed with. They have
good graphics and from the looks of it - sell conversion kits.
http://www.vanworks.com/

Link that will give you a direct schematic graphic from the van works
site:

I hope this is a good starting point for your project. Here is a site
where you can get answers from other people making conversions. You
may just find more relative links from experienced conversion van
owners as well:

I found these sites by searching for:
"van camper conversions":
://www.google.com/search?q=van+camper+conversions
"van camper schematics":
://www.google.com/search?q=van+camper+schematics
"van camper discussion":

Good Luck!
