Found a new (to me) van. PO called her Baby
1995 Dodge 2500 204k on the Odo, 70k on reman motor.
Lots of recent med-big ticket items (have receipts)
Classic conversion van.
She’s going to need some refit to be a live-aboard, but good bones!

Similar to the one I converted. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I refuse to tell you what to do but I will gladly explain what I did.

Also- at first glance, I Think all the big comfy seats are the same (above the platform..) so I should be able to swap out the worn front seats for the much less worn mid row seats ..!
Also nifty, the drivers seat platform has 2 barrel plugs built in (will swap for usbs and wire into house system) and a tv-coax port which I can replace with a toggle switch.
The front 2 seats stay, the rest will get craigslisted.
Then I will make a hole and install roof vent and run wiring..
The carpet goes (eww, almost 30yr old), floor holes sealed, maybe a bit of underlayment, then the good thick lino from the home store. After that, bed construction, some electrical, solar install, then storage, kitchen, pantry, fridge on sliders, and…… I’m sure there will be many more things on the list..
Oh- and need to fix the side barn door.. it has.. issues. Actuator is wonky so it l/ul only manually from inside and opens only from outside.. weird.
