Possible Sprinter Conversion Noob

[OutdoorOregonian]

Hey everyone! I'm looking to purchase and convert a 2016 Sprinter van for me to live in and travel. I'm trying to decide if I should do it and how I should go about doing it. If you have any answers, it would be really helpful in my decision making process.

Did you convert yours or have someone else do it for you?
Was it worth it (price and time) to do it yourself?
How many vans do you think are converted each year? With that, how many people do you think do them by themselves?
What was the most difficult part of converting it on your own?
If I do decide to buy one to convert and decide to sell it down the road, does it have a good resell value?

If you have any other information, it would help me to decide what I'm going to do!

Thanks, 
Kylee

Welcome to the CRVL forums, OutdoorOregonian! We have some spinter owners, here. I'm sure they will chime in.

In general, if you have the skills and time, I think it's always worth it to do your own conversion. You can do a little at a time, getting it just the way you want it. And it's going to cost way less.
