A VW VAN or A DODGE VAN needs an UPPER STORY to be a second HOME ON THE ROAD

HOW HARD CAN IT BE to SAW A HOLE IN THE TOP OF A DODGE OR VW and MAKE SOMETHING APPROXIMATING A BEDROOM, A LOFT FOR SLEEPING.

Two wonderful builders Mechanics  http://zenseeker.net/AdventureVans/
and http://octopup.org/sportsmobile   both offer GREAT and inspiring photos/ graphics, even PATTERNS for VAN CONVERSIONS that you want to print out and take to your local metal worker to see if you can have a vacation home on wheels.

Who knows, you might get lucky and be free to travel. You might want to buy an old VW & convert it to a mobile home. A van must have a LOFT up on top with ventillation. Go to the  LOFT SITE  See the different kinds of lofts they can build into a VAN? HE offers the nitty gritty internals of the average CAMPER CONVERSION up to and including SHOWERS!

Another site offers  VAN PERMANENT LIVING concepts as inspiration for you.

Another site offers a charming ARTICLE: "HEAVENLY TRIP, SIX PEOPLE TRAVELING in A VAN"

If you get a rhythm going, you can convert one van after another, and even start a business, leasing them for people's vacations. A FLEET of VANS. (Sell them tie dye shirts and brown rice too)

YOU CAN READ BLOGS where conversions are discussed.
You want to listen to their experience.
