Thanks for the welcomes...<br>I've had this van since new.. 2003, and I only have 60,000 miles on it. I've got to the point where I'm done with the roof racks, and thinking about raising the roof, and &nbsp;converting it into &nbsp;travel Van with all the comforts of home that can be removed, and I can still use the van for my work when I want.<br><img rel="lightbox" src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee79/daminc/b290d9e1-622b-40a4-aa4d-12a672af6f3d_zpsce7d124d.jpg" class="bbc_img"><br><br><br>My wife told me that I have to make it look something like this if I'm going to go through all the trouble.<br>I like the setup myself. I make custom cabinets for a living, and don't really see a problem with doing something like this.<br>First I have to decide on what top I want to put on&nbsp;<br><br><img rel="lightbox" src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee79/daminc/ScreenShot2013-03-28at53357PM_zps07e6afca.png" class="bbc_img"><br><br><img rel="lightbox" src="http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee79/daminc/ScreenShot2013-03-28at53456PM_zps259afc24.png" class="bbc_img">

I've also thought about putting the bathroom in the rear of the van too, what size is yours, the plan I found has a 2x3 combo shower/toilet behind the drivers seat... <br>I'm really amazed how much stuff you can actually build into a standard van. I should have done this years ago.

Welcome Jerry!&nbsp; I like the looks of that van.&nbsp; If I had to do it again, I'd go for a high top but as a person with a standard van, you adapt to it.&nbsp; It doesn't bother me a bit now.&nbsp; But a high top is a good thing!<br><br>Glad to have u here!<br><br>V.T.
