Welcome!

I’m too new to offer a suggestion on which Van is best to convert, but just wanted to drop in and welcome you to the forums. A lot of nice people here, and more than a few with experience they are happy to pass along.

So again, welcome!

Greetings & Welcome!

A van can be pretty cramped for 2 people. I would strongly consider a Class C motorhome.

If you’re stealth parking on city streets for free, a camper van can have a slight advantage, although I had very little problems parking a small motorhome or bus on city streets. I think the dividing line is whether it will fit in a standard parking space or not. All of mine did.

Cheers!

Check out Youtubes videos on “nomadic van life”. Lotsa vloggers out there tell about each rig they had and the pros & cons. Also watch vids like “Van Nationals”". They show the inside of everyones van. Some have queensize beds!
