Upgrading my Van Camper
Well, having done some camping in my Grand Caravan, I decided I needed more room. Hoped to use the 1986 Ford E150 I inherited from my late Father, but the more I delved into it, the worse it looked - nearly thirty years of abuse really show, and it's just to much a rusty ruin.
So, I am now the proud owner of a 1988 Ford E150 Conversion Van. It's got some age issues too, but runs well and will make a good platform to build a camper from. Fully carpeted, a 302 V8 motor, some 'Bells&Whistles the older van lacks like swiveling captains chairs.
I'll remove the Third Seat and bench rear seat and begin installing the basics for some weekend camping - lengthwise sofa-bed, propane stove/oven, Big Buddy Heater, 5KBTU AC for when using shore power in the summer, porta-potty and some water storage. Hope to have it ready for hunting season, as a buddy and I are planning to camp out there this year.
It'll become a "Small Class B" of sorts.
