24 year old married couple on our way to California! We made a simple and cheap conversion that fits our lifestyle. Hope y’all enjoy!

    I like how simple this is. I feel like KZread makes it easy to get caught up in building the perfect van, when in reality van-life is about the experiences that you have outside of the van.

    Nice! Hey, you can - get a plastic drain valve at hardware store. - Drill one hole, in cooler, screw it together by hand. - Then, you could run a little hose to near the door, for draining. You would never have to move your cooler again! : )

    I have the same van conversion. I build differently because I feel like the 2 counters make it very tight. I sleep head to the end of the van because I’m only 5.5”. I use a 65q Rtic cooler. But your built was pretty good. I like it too if I’m by myself but I’m married so. It’s looking organized and good.

    I've seen just how much ( and how little) room you have in one of these Chevy Cargo vans, and I would not have put a counter on both sides. I am just one little person, (5' tall) so I would have put in a twin-bed sized murphy bed arrangement with an apartment refrig and microwave secured so it doesn't go flying off the counter. These vans start out pretty spartan. I would also have privacy curtains and/or pull-down screens since these vans are often pretty much surrounded by windows. The cargo van I saw at a local dealership did, anyway. It's the smallest vehicle in which I would ever attempt a conversion. I know people have done minivan conversions, but that would be "pushing it," for this claustrophobic person, that is what I am.

I've been doing Craigslist and FB Marketplace for the most part. I live in central Florida. Any advice is appreciated!
