Hi all,
I have been looking into buying a used high roof van that I can convert into a camper for my wife and I. We are not looking for anything too big. Thinking that the around 12 ft. long of cargo room should suffice (ie. the Sprinter 144). I've done some research into used Mercedes Sprinter Vans, but have been somewhat dissuaded with the idea of lack of service departments in the USA (as well as cost and difficulty of maintaining). I was wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions on what would be the best van base (in your opinion/experience) to use for a camper conversion (Sprinter, Ford Transit, ??). I am looking to keep the van price under $30,000 and do the conversion myself over time.
Thanks in advance for any input!
