I sold my pickup and camper last month and been struggling to find a decent van but bought one 2005 Chevy extended with a 4.8  with 79000 miles it kinda of a weird van because its a cargo van with windows never had seats in it  so now start to build putting house on market next week hope to head out west early January

I like the windows.  I would get them tinted.  Hopefully I can start my own journey in 4 years when I retire from Uncle Sam.

Now that is my idea of a good layout :). I could not image even wanting to have a build without good desk/workbench space and a comfortable chair for sitting down at that area. You have also made it very attractive looking. One of the better interiors I have seen on this forum.
 
Very nice work! Makes me want to tear mine out and restart, lol.  I'd die for that floor space man!
