Seems its already been done and they look like a pretty compact camping motorhome. I can't believe what they managed to get in them.</SPAN></STRONG></EM><BR><EM><STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: #888888">My old van ran like a clock was ace on fuel and I even loaded&nbsp;it upto the windows with stone on several ocassions.&nbsp; (Hence why I ended up building&nbsp;a truck/motorhome)<BR>It just seemed a shame to junk it.</SPAN></STRONG></EM><BR><EM><STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: #888888">Geoff</SPAN></STRONG></EM><BR><BR>This van is&nbsp;off the net, mines is the attached pic when I stripped it out to wreck.<BR><IMG class=bbc_img src="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/257103993.jpg" rel="lightbox"><BR><BR>Here's&nbsp;a conversion this&nbsp;one appears factory built<BR><IMG class=bbc_img src="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/250521048.jpg" rel="lightbox"><BR><BR>interior of the one pictured above<BR><IMG class=bbc_img src="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/250521190.jpg" rel="lightbox"><BR><BR>This one looks homebuilt<BR><IMG class=bbc_img src="http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/full/246396207.jpg" rel="lightbox">
