Van Conversions Versus SUVsSport utility vehicles (SUVs) are all the rage, even though their four-wheel drive and other sport utility features are often overkill for those who only take them on shopping trips or use them for commuting. The overall length and width of a van conversion is about identical to a full size SUV. SUVs lack so many features and amenities, it is difficult to discern practical reasons for their popularity. For families that need seating and cargo room--and want the entertainment of 22" flat screen TV's, video game hook-ups, power sofas, surround sound system, high-back leather captain chairs, conversions provide as many luxurious features and space as you could want or need. Towing is never a problem; most conversion vans will tow at least 6000 pounds! Besides plenty of room to move around and customized interiors, conversions outshine SUVs in almost every way. They offer a more comfortable ride, a lower step-in, wider doors, and better access to all seats. They are generally more fuel-efficient, and they certainly are more versatile with their fold-down sofas and quick release removable seats. With all these features, conversion vans generally are priced the same or lower than most full size SUV's. If safety is a concern, you will see that a conversion van is lower to the ground and has a wider wheel track than SUV's. A van conversion is not as susceptible to a roll over like some SUV's. Conversion Van companies are required to pass safety testing just like the major car manufacturers. You can be assured of your families safety in a luxury converted van.
