Hi Scotty, did you do any videos on used vans? I have a 2009 toyota rav4 4x4 only 140k , been babied was moms for church. I need something bigger due to having to sell home so mom could live in Alzheimers Home unfortunatley. I'm seriously thinking selling/trading rav4 to get a cargo van to make into camper/home, yes im homeless now since i sold home left to me to help mom get into safe medical home.... What do you recommend for hopefully under $10,000 for a van I can make into small camper/home. I am retired due to health, don't know anything about autos, which brand,model etc does everyone suggest please that won't break down w me living in it.. What kind of mileage is too high to buy one at? I see some at $10k with 90,000 miles some with 130,000 miles usually ford econoline 2013 w 135k miles for $12,000 bucks or chevy express w 155k miles for $10,000 ,, YIKES the mileage scares me ,, should it? what does everyone reccomend Please help, I'd even consider a box truck to build into camper... I know how reliable my 4x4 rav4 is but only 4 cylinder, can't tow anything, too small to really sleep in, I'm 6' 240 lbs etc... I don't want to trade /sell Rav4 and get something that would break down on me I live on eastcoast near mass/NH border wil probably drive west if I buy one and build camper/home so it has to be ok in hot weather like Arizona desert etc.... once in a while would be camping on BLM out west where it gets mucho hot in summer.. Thank you everyone, sorry for so long of a question. Worried on east coast, Jim Gibbs

Perhaps you will find this web site helpful. They have many videos on the topic on YouTube
Agree on Youtube for all sorts of people living the van life and their custom builds but also safety tips etc. I'm partial to the Sprinter rebuilds.
Good luck!
