What is a conversion van?
A conversion van may be defined as any vehicle in which the space behind the driver's area has been modified into a living space. The early conversion vans in the 70s and 80s were ordinary vans with seats in them. They have since evolved into elaborate homes on wheels. Generally priced between $40,000 to $60,000, some new, fully-fitted, conversion van can run even run close to six figures depending on the number of options it delivers.
Install a gaming center in your conversion van
Whether you use your conversion van on vacation or sleep in it when you are working away from home, an essential feature is a home entertainment center, complete with gaming center. An X-box or Sony Playstation 3, television and speakers are all you need for the basics. Adding wifi capability will allow you to connect with the outside world if you are lucky enough to find a hot spot. A gaming center will keep your passengers entertained on long journeys or help you pass the time on vacation when it rains on your parade.
Early conversion van entertainment centers
Before modern flat screen TVs came into use, arranging the television and the seating were more complex. These were better installed on high-top vans, where the roof had been extended upward. These were impractical, mostly because the roof leaked!

They can all tune into the same program, play games together or play individually. Wi-fi headphones mean the driver is not distracted.
