Buy this van and wake up in places like this for free!

Registered in Maryland. I'll do my best to help out with import paperwork if need be. $s are USD by the way

Vanessa is for sale http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/176494-2007-Chevy-Express-AWD-Camper-Van

Vanessa, my 2007 Express AWD custom build, is for sale, $16500 obo http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/176494-2007-Chevy-Express-AWD-Camper-Van

$16,500 or best offer. Our trip is coming to an end so Vanessa is for sale, I’d love to keep her but to send her back to New Zealand but that would require me to convert her to right hand drive, which is almost impossible with AWDs. I’ll be sad to see her go. She was built with high quality...

I promised to post a review of some of my build/gear decisions ages ago, wrote half of it and finally finished it. Here it is: 1. Dometic CFX-DZUS. The first fridge I received from Amazon had a defective screen but cooled fine, after some messing around with Amazon it was replaced. The new...

If it's van vs no van, a low roof can work. My girlfriend and I have been in our standard height Express full time since April. We cook outside mostly, but have been in backwoods Canada most of the time (an awning helps with the rainy days). Why stink up your interior... Plus being outdoors is...

I debated doing "soft walls" then Hull liner. I'm glad I decided against it and did 5mm ply covered in dark grey trunk liner carpet. I'm constantly leaning on the walls when I sleep, plus it's much more durable (constantly throwing mountain bikes and climbing gear around the van). If you want...

A Silverado front is close but not exactly the same shape as a van. I'd expect you could make it work/modify brackets and stuff, but it probably won't be a bolt on affair

http://www.glinx.com/~sbest/4vanhow.htm Have a read through that, though the info on steering seems a bit dated, nowadays it's easier to do crossover steering as you can buy weld in threaded inserts for tie rods for cheap... No need to go to a machinist... Just call the two shops I listed...

If you just want someone to sell you a weld on leaf spring hanger, some shackles and some steering bits a rockcrawling shop like Sky's should be able to sell you most of what you need for not a fortune. A coil spring kit might be a bit more difficult. This kit might not be far off from what...

That's a good deal for the East coast if it's in good shape and minimal rust . I paid 9800 for mine, the high top and bits of camping gear make it worth it.

Looks sweet, not in the market, but one thing you could offer is adding fittings to make them an air or water tank. That or integrating battery boxes to the mounting legs. Finding creative places to hide stuff on these vans is always a good trick
