For the time being, I am done with the project but need to build a door for the shower, and cabinets above bed on sides of van. My small toy hauler will haul 2 bicycles, 3 surf boards, plus all my kiteboarding sails and equipment, 2 sets of golf clubs, a grill, and many other tools and items. I started this project in January by visiting this website. I thank all of you for sharing your experiences. I received my van the last part of May and am now ready to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Very fine workmanship. What was your approximate buildout cost for your materials and how many hours do you think it took to get where you are? Mine took over a year in spare time and I also have odds and ends to do yet. I really like the layout and utilization of space.

Thanks for the compliment. I probably have around 500 hrs in the conversion. I added up the receipts the other day and it came close to $15,000. I didn't spare any expense on materials like drawer slides and hinges. It is built to last. I had over $1000 in just solid cherry wood alone. I probably could have saved around $3000 by skimping on quality but figure this rig is good for 300,000 miles under my ownership and wanted to make it as comfortable and functional as possible.
