I doubt it.  It is all a matter of getting it set up..........once set up
the results are real good, thus no complaints from the TIICO or Subaru

Depends on the buyer.  A converted van that has been done right would go for
a premium to most vanagon owners i know around here.....problem is they
rarely are for sale since the owners that go thru the conversion process
truly are thinking longterm......

Just the point most converted vans stay with the owner that converted them.

The listee that posted the questions really did not need your opinions on
conversions.....he needed help with his problem...
