Hi All
I am looking to purchase a van to convert into a camper. I have a three year old daughter in a car seat. At first I was thinking the cargo van would work, but now thinking about the future if I have another child, I will have 2 in carseat that would require at least 2 three point harnesses. What are the best options for travelling with two in carseats (and one to two adults)? What do you do for extra sleeping space?

I started with a passenger van for the safety. Took out the second row seat and left the third row double seat. Built an East-West bed between the windows. A double size blowup camping mattress works for the kids on the floor between the front buckets and bench seat.
A new option for 2020 is the crew van, but that seat is right behind the first row, so you would have to have a kids bed behind that.

I like the systems that mount car seat specific tie downs. I have seen them where the mounting brackets are recessed into the floor, so you can cap them when you are not driving and have a lot of open space. Then, once your kids get older and can use the lap belt, you can add bench seat.

We upgraded our existing 2011 RV seat to convert it into a double bed with the RecPro charles collection double recliner 58. Very pleased with this recliner, soft comfortable, easy to sleep in. Almost reclined to a flat position when hugging the wall.
