greetings,
i so want to do this! but i am completely overwhelmed and intimidated to get started. i have decided on a van--a promaster, high roof, 159.
i don't have the budget to just buy a new van and have it converted. unfortunately, i also lack any of the necessary skills and knowledge to do the work myself. so...how did you all get started? my fear is that i will electrocute myself or do something wrong and wind up with a fire hazard or blowing fuses. the plumbing is a bit less intimidating; but only in comparison. i figure no matter how badly i screw that up, there are no potentially lethal consequences. there is a lot of info online. is it really possible to acquire the necessary knowledge to do the conversion just by watching and reading online tutorials?
i am in southern california; the inland empire. anyone out there in this area working on a van? i would love to learn from someone.
anyway, just joining this forum feels like a positive first step.
