    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    They sure do! I wasn't convinced Fiamma was worth the investment. No regrets huh?

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    Ok, jumping back into another project planning phase. This summer was all about using the heck out of the van, the only progress was gaining a few inches from upgraded leaf springs and powder coating the factory wheels charcoal. They were a little rusty and look much better now. Let's talk...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    I'm planning on a thin flexible panel w VHB tape. For the roof rack I'm thinking of something small in the very rear accessible with the ladder.

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    I put thinsulate in the loft before I installed the drawer box. Its a great space to store bedding, and the twin 4' boxes are tons of storage! I love the cab over design of the Super Camper!! So far I've held off on fully insulating the fiberglass topper. When Fiberine installed the camper they...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    All electric kitchenette. 2000W inverter is connected to the wall outlet. My bed platform is on 500lb drawer slides. Its nice to have a cushioned loft space when the bed is stored, and at night the bed pulls out which covers the bench seat. I have 350lb cleats that support the ends of the bed...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    Sorry for the delayed response. I haven't gotten around to suspension work yet. I intentionally kicked the can on that project to put a lot of miles on and take different kinds of trips to see what my needs are. I'm almost at 40k on the odometer so I'm just now starting to think about the best...

    Goonie - 09 Chevy Express AWD Camper Van

    Thanks, that seems like the only option left. I had one ordered from Roadtrek but they couldn't fulfill it before going out of business.

    Goonie - 09 Chevy Express AWD Camper Van

    Looking Good! I'd like to know more about your swivel passenger seat. I've been striking out on junk yards & got completely hosed on the swivel base I bought off Shop4Seats.

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    Thanks! Its hard to tell in that picture, but its actually 3 tone. the lower band is charcoal, then a color match forrest green stripe, then mostly sandy/khaki with a forrest green pinstripe. Its fun having a super unique van. These older GM vans look way less creepy when they're not white.

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    The super camper as predicted didn't do me any favors in the mpg department, nor did the tall KO2s. I'm getting 13-15 now. It's not ideal but I'm super happy with it. The loft area above the cab is huge with this topper. I built two 4' deep drawers out of 1/2" Baltic Birch ply up there that is...

    ARB fridge or ???

    I have an ARB in my truck and like it a lot. You do need to stack your food properly as it is much colder at the bottom. I put beverages at the bottom and produce at the top. I really like the cooler style fridge as you don't loose all your cold air each time you open it up. Its a bit like...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    First priority is squeezing in a few more days of spring skiing and a private trip down the Rogue. After that I'm attacking the sub floor. I want this van to be modular as I do different kinds of trips throughout the year. This needs to be a 4 season rig but is not a full time home. The...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    My apologies for the radio silence. I'm just now getting back home after a long field season away from my sweet van project. Now its time to roll up the sleeves and get my priorities straight. I'm hopefully free in June & July to get a bunch done on "Vandalf the Green" as it's been dubbed. Not...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    Fiberine 30" Super Camper I took the big drive to Long Beach for my High Top. I've now got 6'8" standing room in the middle of the van! With any luck that will be enough after sub floor and insulation to keep me vertical. Fiberine was great to work with and did a great job on the...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    I'm headed down to Long Beach next week to pick up my 30" super camper from Fiberine. I yanked all the plastic off the van walls and took down the headliner and disconnected the airbags. I do have a warning light now but its not too annoying yet. I emailed the company about the airbag simulators...

    GM Passenger Van Camper Conversion Q&A

    Excellent, thanks for that info! I put an email in to the airbag simulator company, I've never heard of those before. Vandecamp have you decided on your Aux electrical system yet? I do a bunch of remote desert work and have had a solar, dual batt, fridge setup for quite a few years in my truck...
