    My Hiace came with two sliding doors with windows in them that you can open. And it is 4WD. Can't get them anymore here. They stopped selling them around 2012, I believe. The only thing they didn't come with, as far as I know, was a high roof. Other than that, it has everything I need. At one point in time I went camping in it with three dogs in cages. They are not making vans like that now. They should...Your van is looking good with the new windows. A wise move to have them professionally fitted. You don't want them to fall out :-)

    Hiya, I’ve recently bought a blank canvas that I intend to convert into a camper. To be honest I don’t really know where to start so I’ve been watching various videos. I’ve just come across your build and I’ve watched three of your videos already today and I’ve decided to go back to the beginning and follow your conversion before doing anything. I love your presentation and enthusiasm and would recommend you to anyone planning to take on a conversion. Thank you and all the best, Steve.
