DIY camper: cargo or window van?
I'm actively looking for a gently used 1992 or newer, extended Ford van to do my own camper. I need to ask if there are any aspects I've missed, in considering whether to get a passenger van, or a car...

I like the passenger van for the extra visibility. I find that the windows have sufficient tinting that you don't have privacy issues during the day (at night you do need to turn off the interior lights to disrobe, etc.). Replacing one of the dome lights with a large LED unit is advisable to save the battery at night, but you really need to run it off of a separate power source then. Since I added a 12v power port in the rear this wasn't an issue (tapped into 12v constant to trailer plug).
