conversion of camper vans to 4 wheel
I love the Class B camper vans, especially Pleasure Way Ascent or Plateau, but I would like to take it to off road places....not necessarily 4 wheeling but have the ability to get over some rocks and ...

Off-roading in a Class B takes a big risk in ripping out what hangs down from the chassis related to the conversion. My B ranges from 7" to 9" depending on the location under the van of ground clearance. I have to watch going over large bumps on a regular road or going down steeper than usual driveways that I not hit bottom. While there are companies that will do aftermarket 4WD conversions - Roadtrek used to offer this as an option but stopped - there has to be good clearance under the van to go into sand where your wheels might dig you down (especially considering the added weight of the van after conversion) or into mud, deep snow, and certainly over rocks. If you rip off your tanks, your generator, or your plumbing you are in for big expensive repairs.
