I'd love to see your van sometime and pick your brain about your conversion.
My Astro is great for an overnight/weekend, but for longer trips it would be so much better to have more space!
My flavor of overlanding, I prefer to maximize exploration time and travel every day.
So this means optimizing setup and tear down time. I've been honing my build out to accomplish this and using a van as my overland platform really helps with this process.
The last build project we did this...
We definitely are... two years of weekend warrior overlanding. Just to get the feel of it, and reviewing and revising our setup. Last summer we did 4 sections of the new ORBDR. It's the most challenging thing we've done so far and the longest trip. Definitely made us realize that we needed a...

Did a quick overnight jaunt through a trail along the Kilches River and into the Tillamook Forest on our way back from the Oregon Coast.
