We did the basic E250 cargo van.  Had Sportsmobile put the penthouse top on it, but that was it.  We're doing the rest ourselves.  It's a fun project!!  Good luck with yours!  Please post pix when you can.

Hello friends, We got our E250 painted and Sportsmobile top installed last week.  Just thought I'd post a couple of before/after pictures.  We're loving it already!  My husband has replaced the bumpers and some trim with chrome and has started framing out the interior.  We've been discussing...

Thanks!!  I'll definitely post pictures when things get moving.  It'll be fun watching the transformation. Chat soon!! Connie ;D

Hello all, My husband and I ordered the Sportsmobile Penthouse top for our van.  We'll have it installed in a few weeks.  Thanks for the input!! We're excited about starting the transformation of our basic white cargo van into our new camper van!! 

A big time "Congratulations!!" I have a grandson named Carson as well!!  It's a great name.

Thanks Len.  I'll keep that thought about the color in mind when we pick out ours. Happy Traveling!

Thanks for the input everyone.  I'll try turtletop too.  In continued discussions with the hubby, I think we may end up doing the penthouse top at Sportsmobile.  He likes the idea of it looking more like a regular van during the traveling, plus not having something big on top to cut down on our...

Hey Len, Where did you get your awning from? (If you don't mind me asking...)  :D

Thanks for the suggestion Len.  I've actually already done that, with many, many combinations of words in order to get varied results.  Most of the places that come up, do "van conversions" but they aren't the type of conversion we're looking for.  Some provide the low profile tops, which just...

I sure would hope there is more that just one place left in the midwest that does this type of work!  Anybody??

Thanks Wendy!!  This forum already feels like home.  ;D I'm looking forward to hearing from our fellow travelers.

Thanks Seilerbird.  Too late for that in our case.  We already bought the van.  And yes, we know they are expensive.  We did look at conversion vans first, but most have a high top that still does not give enough interior head room.  My husband isn't that tall, but taller than the typical...

Hey Happy Travelers!! We're new to the forum but not new to camping and RVing.  My hubby and I currently have a 27' travel trailer, but have recently decided to downsize to a van camper.  We're getting closer to retirement and want to travel more, including a 3 month journey to Alaska.  We...

Hey all, I'm new to this forum, although not new to camping or rving.  I was very excited to find this site and the wealth of combined knowledge and experience here!!  I have to say "Wow" to Leo for the job he did on his van.  I'm hoping someone on here might be able to give me some guidance. ...
