I bought the wagon TC in October. I am finishing up my conversition to a camper van. I decided to purchase the wagon vs. the cargo van for hreereasons.
1 it drover a little nicer
2. It was insulated ( a big job that I didn't have to do)
3. I am using this as a main vehicle, such as going to work, activities, canoeing, camping, and backpacking. ( I may actually put the seats back in some day and haul actual people. LOL
THe two different levels did t bother me. I used my old platform bed from my previous camper van and modified it. I added on legs to make the bed even from the two different floor levels.
My storage underneath the platform has two wide sleeves. The first sleeve is for my paddles, lawn chairs, and portable table. THe upper part of this sleeve can be accessed from the driver side sliding door. I keep my PFD's, canoe shoes, canoe water pump, throw bags, tie downs, and tools to fix the canoe. THe second sleeve of the storage compartment of the platform bed stores everything from toilet paper, to car repair items, to lanterns, flashlights, extra hygiene supplies, to portable heaters, mini fan air conditioner. I have 20 inches from the platform bed to the opposite wall. I found a sterility plastic two drawer filing cabinet. I have all of my cookware in one bin and food in the next bin. I carry a small backpacking stove, and a mini kitchen that I found on Amazon.com. I purchased a second plastic filing cabinet system to put in the back of the first filing cabinet system for my clothing.
GEtting roof racks placed on the wagon is a pain in the butt. I had to hire a body shop to take down the head liner. THen I had to take my van to the place where I purchased my roof racks and had them drill holes on the roof to put the rack on. THe placement of the rack on the roof was a very tough installation. AFter that was done, I had to return the van to the body shop to have the head liner put back in. I know am thinking through a curtain system. I spend about 70 nights a year in my van and need a real curtain system. ANy ideas? I purchased track curtain rod system for the two sides, thinking thAt there would be styrofoam support beams inside of the headliner but there isn't any support beams. I want to place the curtains right above the Windows, and don't want to drill there because both sides of the van has airbags.
