Got a new to me van - GMC Savana AWD

[NYCO]

Savanna White

I see a lot of Chevys, but not a whole lot of GMC Savanas. I went from a Tacoma with a Four Wheel Camper to this 2005 GMC Savana. It's got AWD and is pretty well set up already. I think down the road I'll add a heater and maybe a mild lift.

Nice,

I am planning a move from my tacoma to a van also...I like the chevys much better than the fords...especially the taillight area...

Are the awning windows factory or custom? any more pics? that's pretty cool.

The 3 popout panels are factory and they open with the regular key remote - I think it is called Pro Access Panels or something. I'm pretty sure they came with a wall behind them like for contrtactor's tools but that was removed to allow airflow. 2 of them are screened in and the front one is blocked by the cabinets.

Any idea on where I should put a propane tank? Might get a propex heater so I can camp out in the winter.

Some more pics -

Sweet rig, dig those panels!

 

[DocGary]

I have to agree with Sgosine really digging those panels. Any modifications in the works like a high top or anything?

As money allows I'd like to get a few things like propane, heater, hi-top, small lift, and maybe a roof rack. It's fine as-is which is great so I'll enjoy it and add as time goes.


I am getting the windows tinted next week for some privacy and probably also make up some curtains too.

Excellent find! A rare van in good shape and already set up nice.
The access panels are just the ticket for camping, whether it is for grabbing stuff from outside like a soft top Jeep or laying in the bunk looking out. I wanted the access package, but it did not make the cut when the time came. Those panels are pretty durable, I would like to find some in a Junk Yard with the hardware and retro my window van some day.

Lift and rack

Had the Boulder offroad lift installed, propex heater, and propane tank installed. Also got a roof rack and box set up now. I didn't get a chance to measure how much it ended up lifting it, but it turned out well.

Any chance we could see some pics of the heater install?
I'm curious where you placed it and how it vented.

Nice looking van!
