subject: Five Types Of Van Conversion [print this page] The vehicles listed below can be designed to fit on frames for a full size or a large 15-passenger van. Mini-vans can also be frequently converted to fit the personality and style of the buyer. The ranges of options that are available today are impressive. Generally, if you can dream it a conversion specialist can do it.
Luxury vans take comfort to a whole new level. These truly offer something for everyone and can be customized to fit the needs of your family. Comfortable seats go without saying. Other accessories can include central heat and air, a full plug-in game console, television sets and DVD players. Extra a/c outlets help keep computers and cell phones charged while on the road. Buyers often have the option of ordering a van or buying one off the floor from a dealer.
Van conversion can help to make life better for a disabled person. The ability to go places and enjoy getting out can be hampered when you are handicapped. From a trip to the grocery store or to the Grand Canyon, the right van for someone who is disabled can open up a world of travel opportunities.
These types of vans are often ordered by Specialty Company or dealer. Each one is designed to fit the unique needs of each individual but also fit within government crash test safety standards. Specially designed seating allows for more comfort and flexibility than older types of conversions. Among other options, customization can include dropped floors and the addition of a wheelchair ramp or lift.
A camping van conversion combines the manoeuvrability with many of the options of a large motor home. They can be converted from mini-vans, cargo vans or 15-passenger vehicles. Some large sports utility vehicles can also be modified.
These are popular choices for people who like to travel but want to enjoy the manoeuvrability of a smaller vehicle. Large RVs can be comfortable but cumbersome. Almost any of the camper vans that have been converted will slide smoothly into a regular parking space. Parking garages aren't a problem for vans without a raised roof.
Camper vans can be outfitted to provide all of the comforts of home. They will have beds, tables and storage capabilities. Accessories often include all or a combination of multiple a/c power outlets, kitchen amenities and a small shower and bathroom. Almost all of these vans will have a television and DVD player.
Owners of these vans will often use them as a second vehicle when not on the open road. Grocery stores, trips to the mall and local errands are all possible in a converted vehicle. Large RVs can't come close to the manoeuvrability of a smaller vehicle.
Before having van conversion done buyers should think about the options that they want. It can be helpful to make a list to bring when shopping. Buyers should consider how the van will be used and where.
The options needed will be different if the van will be on the road for long road trips or only used for weekend jaunts. Different options may be needed for hauling kids and gear to soccer practice and running errands about town.
The price of a vehicle is always important when making a buying decision. Gas mileage and maintenance costs on conversions is similar to other vans and SUVs. That's only part of the story.
When it comes to conversions there is value that isn't in the deal sheet. Price tags don't indicate the amount of fun that a van conversion brings to its owner. The enjoyment factor is why buyers are turning to conversions more frequently.
