I have been camping in my 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer 2-door for the last 20 years. When I removed the back seat there was just enough room for a 3/4 sized (Hollywood, as some people called them) mattress to fit between the wheel wells and from the back of the console to the tailgate.


After all those years with my wife and I getting older, she decided we needed a little more room so she found me a 2001 Chevrolet Express van with low mileage on the internet. After checking it out and taking it for a test drive we bought it on the spot. It was a nice passenger conversion LT model with all the bells and whistles available in 2001. I will chronicle the changes I made to transform it into my Class B- motorhome in the next few postings. I call it my Class B- (B minus) motorhome because it is just a regular van without the raised roof.

After using that van for many years we decided it was time to upgrade to a newer van. We decided to stick with the Chevrolet Express because the body has not changed in all these years. We found a 2018 Chevrolet Express 2500 passenger van with only 15,000 miles that we would have OnStar and a WiFi hotspot. This fit our needs perfectly, so you will see the evolutionary changes to each of these as I post more in the future.

I have to give a lot of credit to another vanner, LenS and his Green Tardis van that I got a lot of ideas and inspiration from. I think his latest posting can be found on Youtube.
