Have been wondering why nobody produces a well built budget van conversion so perhaps this may be it?! Current offerings are fine as summer/day/starter vans but lack insulation, storage & poorly designed for more than short trips. If Globecar insulate it well, simple but rufty tufty upholstery, cupboards, flooring etc, essential facilities & decent useable layout (like in their currrent vans) then should be a bestseller at that price point
Should shake up the van conversion market & it's pricing anyway
