I am also not a car expert, so some of the measurement use arbitrary descriptions. Note: these measurements should be considered ‘quick and dirty’. This is not a complete list of every possible measurement, but I hope that if you are considering converting a Astro van or Safari that you may find them useful. Because I struggled finding measurements online for the dimensions important to those converting vans, I decided to put my measurements up here for all to see. Because of this, before I departed I took loads of weird and wonderful measurements which I hope will cover most bases when putting a design together. This means I am not going to have access to the van while I ponder a new design. This way I don’t have to worry about winterising it (winter tyres/engine block heater), and we can take our time road tripping/camping up north when the weather is a little warmer. The plan is to leave it in Victoria til the spring, when I will fly down, spend around a week converting it to a camper, and then drive it up to the Yukon.
