It’s no coincidence that birth rates took a dive as conversion vans fell out of style.
They were the one thing holding society together.
They are back in style with all the #vanlife youtubers.
It looks cool, but, like, where do peoples’ legs go?
Crack a beer, toke a spliff and see where the day takes you. It’s like you don’t even know how to 80’s…
That’s how to 70s. There’d be a mirror on that table if we were 80sing.
and there’d be a mirror on the table

All over the place in a major collision.
people get creative with their bodies
Train rides be like…
I think the Volkswagen ID Buzz has this I just wish it wasn’t so freaking expensive
Same. I watched a few reviews of it, and it also seems significantly smaller than I expected too.
That’s what she said?
The North American version is longer than the standard version in Europe.
We had a conversion van when I was a kid and from our perspective having the TV and VCR in the car was the best feature for long road trips (I think for my parents the comfortable seats with built-in massage function was the best feature). I feel like the conversion van started disappearing about the time that LCD screens and DVD players became a common option in minivans. Out of curiosity I looked a few years ago to see if the company that outfitted our van still existed, and they did but now appear to mostly be upfitting pickup trucks.
Conversion vans were phased out because they were dangerous–high probability of rolling in a crash due to being top-heavy. My family had one for a while when I was a kid and I loved it, too. We would have a blast rolling around on the bed in the back.
I installed swivel seats in my campervan. It only has two seats but they do spin around backwards so they can be used for seating in the living area when parked.
We had one in the 80s with a bed in the back. My parents would take us camping in it.
My van has swivel front seats and a folding dinette. Unfortunately the 2nd row seats are a fixed bench with two seats.
I’m planning on converting the dinette to a “home” office space with a sliding desk.
Buy some swivels, baby! I put a swivel seat in my 1970 Monte Carlo. They were an option in the Cutlass. You could swing your legs out and just stand up. Super fun and pointless.
This photo makes me think, wow that is really cool but I know my butt would be sweaty
Same. This is what the the new VW electric bus should have been.
The ultimate pedo-van experience
