New guy here from Central Florida
I recently bought myself a 1999 Astro van that had a Mark III conversion. I got it at a local auction and so far seems to be in great shape. I plan to strip the back end and turn it into more of a camper van. I wil use it to tow my custom built teardrop camper. I figured this way I would have more room for a guest or two.

I love the conversions too.
I was really looking for an AWD but good ones here are hard to find. I plan to keep alot of the old stuff inside. Just cleaning it up with new carpet and such and turning the electric couch into a bed while utilizing the lift mechanism to access storage under the bed.
I live in Port St. John, over near what's left of the space center.
