Hey there Expedition Portal folks...
Stumbled upon this thread and figured I would share the simple Transit Connect build I did for a client a year or so ago. There are some more images on my website if anyone cares to look.
Figured I'd chime in so people can see just what's possible for a micro camper like this. I have a new client considering the same van as a base for a simple weekender. I know lot's of companies in Europe seem to be building with these smaller vans as the base, but not so much here in the US. This build was right around the $10k mark. Small and basic little weekender camper. The space in one of these vans is definitely not for extended travel, but great for some weekend camping.
(Camper Overland is now Hilltop Van)
Thanks for looking!
