If you are thinking of converting a van for camping or living I want to encourage you not to overspend on a shitty van. Fuck Dodge, fuck Chevy, fuck Ford, and especisally fuck Mercedes because lol. If you can get one for under 10k and it's decnent, sweet! But anything else is mostly overpriced nonsense.

Convert a large Toyota or Honda SUV or minivan. Much better price, and way higher quality vehicle. Shekelberg found out about vanlife and made it expensive but there are ways around it
