I'm a retired Great-grandma that likes to take on projects and I've taken on a big one.<br /><br />I just joined the Forum hoping that I will hear from some of you folks that have completed (or are in the middle of) converting a cargo van to camper.<br /><br />I just purchased a 2006 Chevy Express XL Cargo Van and my plan is to convert it to a simple camper van. I plan on doing as much of the work myself that I can. I need to take some pictures of my problem areas and ask questions. I will be insulating, installing 1 x 4" boards (somehow) to the metal frame and then stapling carpet to that. I plan on a sofa that converts to a double bed, a few small cabinets and storage areas.<br /><br />I would also like to connect some small U-bolts to the frame at different hights to tie things down if I need to. You know how van's are ... everything must be tied down or bolted to the frame.<br /><br />I'm open to suggestions on my project.
