Well, if I could afford it I would purchase a decent step van and convert it.&nbsp; They can be very spacey.&nbsp; I figure if they can moving tool sales vehicles out of them, why not a home.

That's a COOL thread that I need to find more time to read. I did take note that post #20 straightens us out (myself included) on wrongly calling them "Step Vans". according to him the name "Step Van" belonged to Union City Body CO. that is now defunct. He further says that the correct name would be a "Delivery Van."

Welcome to the forums Doug! Is the Kurbmaster yours? Do have any interior pictures that you can post? It looks like it would make a great home!

This is a pretty old thread. If you'd like to get more feedback start a new thread in the Newcomer's Corner Also check out Tips and Tricks.

Yeah. I saw that it was old. Couldn't help but post when I saw the title. No inside pics. Maybe I will start a build thread and do it right. I have owned it for about 3 years and bought it from a friend that converted it when it was taken out of service in 98. Atlantic city bus.
