unfortunately vanning has gotten a bad rap due to the internet and vans being seen as pedo-mobiles.
but if you dont give a shit and still want a van: go get one. go to vanning shows (van-ins) to get some ideas and talk to the owners about their vans and how they achevied their goal. most vanners are a friendly enough bunch to help you acchieve a better looking van or look on the forums.
