    Grandma's Chevy Cargo Van Conversion to a Simple Camper Van

    I keep coming back to this thread for inspiration. &nbsp;Love what you did! &nbsp;I have little electrical skills, so my van is simple but pretty like yours (or it will be soon - finishing up this week). &nbsp;

    My New Van & Progress
