Life Is More Fun With a Conversion Van

The family car may be reliable, but it isn't the most spacious and comfortable ride for long road trips and vacations. Sure, you could rent an RV, but that land yacht can be too expensive and it's nearly the size of a city bus!A conversion van is your answer. It's a step down from an RV, but not in efficiency, style and comfort. If you like the aesthetic style of today's RV, consider the 2012 Chevrolet Conversion Van Explorer Hi-Top. It is a spacious van with a gorgeous exterior, black with a wrap-around ground effect. The front of the van has a mesh chrome grill, as well as 20-inch premium chrome wheels, giving it high-class style. The high-top roof provides more space and the ability to stand in the vehicle. On each side of the van, there are passenger doors allowing a more comfortable way of exiting the vehicle, similar to an RV.Best of all, the van is affordable enough for purchase so that it can serve as a practical family vehicle. Although practical for a trip to the grocery store, it's an entertainment center on wheels ready to take the kids camping or tailgate at your sports event with friends.A conversion van can be built to your specification.
