What is the fun of buying something already made up? If I can't hack it or DIY it, I am not a happy man! That is why I call my DIY camper conversion van by the name of Gizmo!
I have heard the siren song of Class Bs ready to boondock complete with storage tanks, flush toilets, showers, built in generators. But I come from a long line of ancestors came west in covered wagons, not to mention I feel guilty having upgraded from a tent my parents used every summer.
But I see this shiny Class Bs so I go inside and I immediately feel claustrophobic. There is too much "stuff" inside I dont want or need. I dont actually boondock. Everything inside my RVan is modular and can be easily pulled out so the RVan is back to being a van to move materials and furniture. Every year I have had it I have changed and rearranged, added and removed the modules to better suit my needs.
It can legally be parked on city streets.
So I resist the call and plan my next van to RVan conversion.
