and front-side passenger air bags, making sure you arrive
at your destination safely and securely.

vans are vehicles that are practical, versatile, comfortable,
and economical for families or larger groups. They have
plenty of room for comfort and storage space. Conversion
rental vans come equipped with many amenities such as entertainment
systems, raised roofs, and AWD. Van Conversions or Luxury
Vans, as they are sometimes called, are made on Chevrolet,
GMC, or Ford chassis with 1500, 2500, or 3500 ratings. Conversion
vans are the best travel vans out there!
What is it?
Producers of conversion van rentals
take a top-ranked Ford, Chevy, or GMC van and customize
it to your specifications. They are comparable to full-size
SUVs, minivans, and full-size sedans in terms of handling,
but have more room for everything, including amazing custom
features. Conversion passenger vans are great when you are
traveling with a large group because you can all travel
together, not in separate cars, and you can make sure that
your children will never be bored!
Something a Little
Different!
Features are what makes conversion
vans. Some of the features include LCD hi-definition TVs
with surround sound and wireless headsets, game system hookups
and dvd hookups. Everyone would enjoy a trip in one of our
flat screen tv vans! Or, you can choose the interior: walnut
wood décor, large power moon roofs, leather vans, cloth
vans and electrically heated seats. GPS Navigation, XM radio,
or even a power rear sofa that lets itself down so you can
have additional storage or a place to nap are also features
that may be found in these vans. Comfort is what conversion
van rentals are made for. The roof can also be raised to
add more room in the van. We have high top vans and low
roof vans. Most manufacturers offer a wide selection of
fabrics, carpeting, wall coverings, window treatments and
trim to customize the interior design.
Safety
Conversion van rentals meet or exceed
all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standards, as you would
expect. They meet all of the new standards for anchorage
systems for all child car seats. The tires meet specific
strength, endurance, and high speed performance requirements.
Conversion vans include additional spare tires, head restraints
for neck protection in rear end collisions, crash protection,
high quality seat belts (materials and anchorage) and meet
all burn resistance requirements for materials used in the
occupant compartments of the vehicles. Conversion vans offer
4-wheel Antilock Breaks and driver- and front-side passenger
air bags. They are no different from regular vans, just
a bit larger so you can travel with your whole family or
group.
Why Choose This?
These vans offer the comfort and
luxury of home on the road. The fold-down third row allows
passengers to turn the seat into a bed to lay down on. Kids
will also enjoy the personal on-board entertainment systems
to watch movies or play video games while they travel (no
more “are we there yet?”!). Conversion vans also offer headphones
and personal volume controls so that everyone can enjoy
the ride. They are very easy to drive and have good visibility.
They are also easy to park and economical to operate in
comparison to motor homes. They drive more like a smaller
van or SUV. Whatever vacation destination you choose, there
is room for your luggage and equipment in a luxury conversion
van. We have many Explorer vans

History
Conversion vans were very popular during
the 1970s and 1980s. Early conversions were
simply vans with seats put in them, often
with murals painted along the sides. Although
many were used by rock bands and the conversion
van developed something of a "bad boy" image,
most were used for basic everyday transport.
After the mid 80's, luxurious interiors
featuring thickly padded seats, wood trim
and luxury lighting began to appear in conversion
vans as families and retirees started using
them for road trips and camping. At the
same time, both the federal government and
vehicle manufacturers began efforts to exert
some degree of control on the van conversion
industry, demanding that certain safety
guidelines be adhered to. With these two
changes, the price of conversion vans started
to increase, resulting in decreasing sales.
At the same time, the price of gas was also
increasing leading still more people away
from these large cargo vans, whose V-8 engines
and poor aerodynamics resulted in atrocious
mileage. Finally, the introduction of the
mini-van and more comfortable and attractive
SUVs siphoned off even more potential customers.
Despite these setbacks though, as the economy
boomed in the 1990's, conversion vans sales
began to improve, with almost 200,000 units
sold in 1994 alone. As of 2007, about 20,000
conversion vans are being sold each year,
with most being sold for family transport.
Vans Currently
Used
Conversion vans are originally bare,
windowless full-size 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton
cargo vans such as the
Chevrolet Express,
GMC Savana, and the
Ford Econoline series.
Previous Models
Used
Vans used for conversions in the past
that are no longer in production are the
Chevrolet Van /
GMC Vandura (1970-1996), the
Chevrolet Astro (1985-2005), the
Dodge Ram Van (1981-2003), and the
Volkswagen Eurovan (1992-2004).
The CVMA
The Conversion Van Marketing Association
(CVMA) is an exclusive partnership between
General Motors and 23 of the nation's top
conversion van manufacturers. Exclusive
partnership means members of the CVMA are
the only manufacturers authorized by GM
to build Chevrolet or GMC Conversion Vans.
Conversion
Van Companies
Because of their decreasing popularity,
there are few conversion van manufacturers
left. The following conversion van companies
are members of the CVMA.
Explorer Vans, of Warsaw, Indiana,
American Luxury Coach, Inc, of Florence,
South Carolina, Chariot Vans, Inc,
of Elkhart, Indiana, and Vanworks,
of Fort Collins, Colorado, just to name
a few. What makes Vanworks unique is that,
beside the usual conversion vans they offer,
they also offer a camper van, that includes
a toilet, refrigerator, microwave, sink,
and a side sofa that makes into a bed. These
and other conversion van companies, and
information on the CVMA can be found at
www.todaysconversionvan.com.
Conversion
Van Luxuries
So just what is put in a conversion van?
For starters, they have tinted windows,
sometimes with blinds. They also have a
TV with DVD player that swings down from
the ceiling. They also have leather seats,
lots of real-wood accenting, carpeting,
custom paint, and a half bed in the back.
(Folding down the back bench seat makes
the rest of the bed.) Higher end models
have lots of accent lighting, heated power
seats, a raised roof to allow standing up
and walking around, (this also allows the
TV to be embedded where the roof goes down
in the front, instead of swinging down from
the ceiling.) swiveling captains chairs
up front, sound-deafening insulation and
a modified suspension system for a quieter,
smoother ride.
Variable
Conversions
There are different types of conversions
aside of the usual passenger-van-like conversion:
1. Camper Van-This van has more
features that enable camping, such as a
toilet, fridge, microwave, sink, side sofa,
popup canvas top that allows standing up,
and sometimes a stove. These vans are usually
stripped, lacking carpeting insulation,
etc. and are not as luxurious as "Class
B" van motorhomes themselves. An unknown
company in the 80's fitted Dodge vans with
a bed, 7 passenger seating, and a sink.
Also, a motorhome company that ran out of
business in the early 90's known as "Granville",
fitted Ford Econoline vans with a U-shaped
dinette in the back that made into a bed,
and a color TV built into the wall. Vanworks
builds this kind of van.
2. Disability Vans are built to
be accessed in the cargo area by wheelchair.
These vans are stripped in the back (providing
seating for only 2), and have a ramp installed
below the door for easy entry/exit.
3. Office Vans Also known as "LandJets",
are built like a small office in the back,
with a desk and chair bolted to the floor,
an electrical outlet in the office area
(for computer, etc.), and usually 1 or 2
seats in the back for passengers. These
are most popular for traveling salesmen
and TV camera crews.
4. Motorhomes "Class B" campervans
are built on a full size cargo van that
is lengthened a couple of feet, and have
almost every creature comfort you would
find in a larger motorhome. Lengths range
from 17-20 feet. "Class C" mini motorhomes
have the back completely taken out of the
van (known as a cutaway), and have it replaced
with a larger back that offers more elbow
room than Class B's. Lengths range from
22-30 feet.
Pricing
When you are buying a conversion van,
you are paying for the van itself, and the
cost of the luxuries and the labor of having
them installed. For example, a GMC van from
Starcraft Conversions costs $52,750.
$29,800 for the GMC Savanna, and $22,950
for the conversion.)
