Answer 2

The term "conversion van" is used by new and used auto dealers. It is meant to define vans that are made for long distance travel or for daily use. They may sport a higher roof, window shades, interior entertainment systems, luxury seating and more. For the most part, they can be described as a family room with wheels.

The exteriors are often upscale with detailing, alloy wheels and more. The price tag for these vans may seem exorbitant, but if one travels extensively with the family, it may well be worth the price.

Another definition for conversion van is used by the recreational vehicle industry. Long before custom vans and mini-vans, people purchased old delivery vans and customized the interiors and exteriors. They were the original "conversions."

Some of these vans are still on the road today. Other vans are purchased and converted into "camper vans." Small kitchens with working sinks, portable toilets, beds and other luxuries are built into the interior, and the owner enjoys having a mobile hotel room. From the outside, the van resembles any other van on the road. Camper conversion vans are readily available overseas. In places like England and Australia, they are considered RVs.

It is not unusual at an RV rally to see conversion vans with pop- up roofs. This improvement allows the user to move around inside the van better, or to stand up.

Sunroofs and ventilation windows, air conditioning units, solar panels and more are used in some conversions.

Some people today by design or necessity live in their conversion vans. They have no mortgage or property taxes, have a roof over their head and enjoy camping wherever they have a parking space.

Other conversion vans have unique purposes. Some vans have been converted into mobile businesses such as ice cream trucks, mobile pet grooming studios, pet taxis, or for transporting miniature horses.

Knowing what type of conversion van is needed will help the consumer to determine price, type of van and the price to pay. If the owner is not handy, there are individuals who will provide the conversion for a fee.
