BROUGHT TO YOU BY Mortons on the Move
"Vanlife is all the rage these days. But is it everything it’s cracked up to be? It depends on who you ask, but many RVers are downsizing to Class B camper vans. Some van devotees have opted for conversion kits to save money and get exactly what they want. Some choose to install these kits themselves or hire a company to do it. They have found it worthwhile to use every inch of space for their specific needs without bringing along extra weight and equipment with a generic manufactured van."
Using a kit to create your van layout will give you exactly the living space you want without the potential for unused equipment or features from a pre-built camper van. Additionally, conversion kits make it easier to DIY without needing to custom craft everything yourself.
Many van conversions have minimal bathroom designs, making it difficult to do your business in your mobile home. Outdoor showers have come a long way, but you can’t use them in stealth situations, and porta-potties can get messy. Van conversion kits don’t often have separate RV air conditioner units for the coach. This makes it difficult to use your van in harsher climates or where pets need to remain inside.
