I've been really thinking about getting a dedicated Windsurfing Van. Something I can store a couple boards (ideally with fins on), all the gear, and perhaps a simple bed for two. It would be something I could drive up to Squamish or over to Nitnat for the weekend, as well as quick stops around the Lower Mainland. I know a few of you on here have a Van for windsurfing and I would be really interested in your feedback. What do you like? What would you change? How do you have it set up in side? Photos photos photos please.
I am looking to do this on the cheap. My budget is $7500 (ideally under $5000) for the van and any DIY install work. Nothing fancy. So far after a lot of research I think a GMC Savana 1500 or Chevy Express 1500 is what I am looking for. 1999-2008. I can either start with a cargo and add some minimal creature comforts or, my personal preference, start with a passenger (seems harder to find secondhand though) and remove the rear seats. Looking forward to your thoughts. Cheers.
