Customs Vans
In the early days custom vans were considered to be the domain of teenagers and those in their early twenties. The term and the vehicles were a product of the latter part of the sixties and the early seventies. However the concept caught on with the more mainstream buyer and within a few years these vans went for the domain of the kids to rolling showpieces that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Modern custom vans bear little resemblance to those of the hippy days and are aimed far more at the family market than at the party crowd. Long gone are the shag carpets and Knight's Cross windows with crazy paint jobs. In their place are interiors that feature exotic carpeting, leather seating and padded leather ceiling and walls. Large picture windows and blinds or curtains have replace tiny variously shaped windows that were tinted black so that no one could see what was happening inside. The pioneering days of custom vans meant that each van was hand built from a standard work van by the owner or an enterprising person with the necessary skills and tools.
Today you will find that all new car and truck dealers offer a complete line of factory built conversion vans that are built by skilled craftsman to very exacting standards. This is a long way from the days of shag carpets and the odd recliner or sofa that was tossed in the back to sit on. The furniture used in modern conversion vans is custom built for the purpose of being used in a motor vehicle. This means that each item has been rigorously safety tested to make sure that it minimizes the risk of injury during an accident and is securely fastened to the floor to ensure it will not break free in the event of a collision.
The interiors of modern custom vans feature the very latest in entertainment systems such as multiple disk CD changers and in many case hard drives that you can load your favorite tunes, videos and movies onto. Multiple screen video systems are becoming very commonplace with screen in the backs of each captain's chair enabling those sitting behind to watch whatever they want rather than everyone having to watch the same show. Private multi-channel sound systems with individual headphones jacks match the screens and provide the ultimate in on the road entertainment for everyone.
