If you’ve never bought a conversion van before, you may not realize how much is involved with a new conversion van purchase. Several considerations should go into your purchase from warranties to protect your van to money-saving incentives to unique features that boost safety, convenience, and comfort. 

New Conversion Van Buying Tips

We want your conversion van buying experience to go as smoothly as possible. Here are a few tips to help you decide what conversion van is right for you:

Look for Manufacturer Incentives and Discounts

Most auto manufacturers put out discounts and incentives regularly to entice people to keep buying their vehicles. New conversion vans are no different. RAM, for instance, releases occasional 0% financing offers, cash-off deals, and financing and leasing incentives that we can then pass onto our customers.

Renting a conversion van for your family vacation can be a good option in some cases. Renting is undoubtedly a cheaper short-term alternative to buying a van, and you won’t have to worry about the maintenance costs that come along with owning one. But when you travel frequently, does it make more sense to invest in a conversion van of your own?

Buying vs. Renting a Conversion Van: Important Points to Consider

There’s a lot to consider with any vehicle purchase, but this is especially true with conversion vans. These vans can be costly, but they also come packed with features for convenience, safety, entertainment, comfort, and more. Before you decide if renting or buying a conversion van is the right step, consider these points:

Frequency of Use

Renting a conversion van might be an affordable choice for families who travel once a year or less frequently. But if you take trips often, it’s probably [...]

Conversion vans are among the most versatile vehicles on the road. Although they can be a hefty investment to start with, conversion vans are also known for their longevity and reliability for years to come. 

Like all vehicles, you get what you put into your conversion van in terms of its maintenance and long-term care. The more diligent you are about keeping up with regular maintenance tasks, the more your conversion van will reward you. 

The following maintenance routines are crucial to follow as a conversion van owner:

Fluids

Your van’s fluids keep its components in excellent working condition. Changing the oil and oil filter as often as your van’s owner’s manual suggests is a must. Newer vehicles often allow for slightly longer periods between oil changes, but you still need to consider your mileage, too.

In addition to oil changes, you should check your fluids periodically, even if you just set a reminder on [...]

Conversion vans have numerous benefits for drivers and their families. They’re roomy, comfortable, and often come packed with features to make the ride easier on everyone.

But they’re also known for not being the most eco-conscious vehicles on the road. Bigger bodies mean more gas-guzzling and a larger carbon footprint. Taking just a few small steps toward eco-friendliness, however, can set your van on the right path to becoming more fuel-efficient and better for the environment overall.

What to Look for in an Eco-Friendly Van

Choosing a van with some eco-friendly features is the best way to get a jump-start on its reduced carbon footprint. Vans today generally come with more environmentally-friendly features than they used to, but some models are more focused on being green than others.

Unfortunately, it’s rare to find a conversion van with a manual transmission, which can save fuel and give you more control over the engine. But you can [...]

If you are looking for a smaller recreation vehicle (RV) you will almost certainly have come across the terms “conversion van” and “Class B motorhome.” You might also be a little confused as to why these terms seem to be applied to vehicles that, on the surface, look almost exactly the same.

The good news is, you aren’t the only one confused by these terms. On the outside, there really isn’t much difference between a conversion van and a Class B motorhome. Most of the differences are on the inside and have to do with the practical use of these vehicles.

To clear things up, and to make sure you end up with the right vehicle for your needs, we’ll be breaking down what makes a conversion van different from a Class B motorhome and what each vehicle is best used for.

What Is [...]

Are you considering purchasing a passenger van? These incredibly convenient vehicles offer a spacious interior for several passengers to commute at one time, making them an excellent choice for private or public transportation. However, passenger vans come with a broader range of risks than most vehicles because of their size and design. Here’s what you need to know about passenger van safety and how to keep your van operating as safely as possible for your passengers:

What dangers exist in passenger vans?

Driving any vehicle carries a safety risk, but passenger vans aren’t built the same as the average car, pickup truck, or SUV. To make room for 9, 12, or 15 passengers, these vans are long and tall, allowing passengers to enter and exit them comfortably. Because they’re top-heavy and carry multiple passengers at a time, they carry greater risks than your average vehicle, like rollovers and long brake times. Passenger vans also have [...]

When you purchase a conversion van, you usually have several configuration options to choose from. One of those options is roof height, which can be low or high top. Both configurations have their benefits, but the one you choose depends on your primary purpose for your van.

Here’s what you need to know about high top and low top conversion vans before you make your choice.

Benefits of Low Top Conversion Vans Easier to Drive

The shorter profile of a low top conversion van makes it easier to drive. In most cases, low top vans are more balanced on the road to prevent top-heaviness when maneuvering turns and corners. These vans can also be easier to handle than their high top counterparts in inclement weather conditions, like wind or rain.

More Convenient for Storage and Clearance

If you [...]

There’s no doubt that 12 and 15-passenger vans offer outstanding convenience for getting large families or groups where they need to go. But with their convenience also comes safety risks due to their size and weight.

Driving a passenger van requires even more responsibility and care than driving a regular passenger vehicle because they can be more dangerous, but that doesn’t mean you need to avoid buying one. Understanding common safety issues involved with passenger vans and what you can do to ensure passenger safety are the first steps toward being a responsible owner.

Common Risks of Passenger Vans

Every vehicle comes with its share of risks as soon as you step into the driver’s seat. However, since passenger vans tend to be taller, longer, and heavier than the average vehicle, they come with a unique set of safety challenges for drivers and passengers.

Passenger Weight

Because passenger vans are designed to hold several passengers [...]

From brand-new wheelchair accessible vans to more affordable used models, there’s likely a van that’s perfect for you on our lot, and we want to help you find it!

Used vs. New Wheelchair Accessible Vans

Perhaps the most important point to consider is whether you should buy a new or used wheelchair accessible van. There are benefits to both, but the one you choose depends on several factors, like your budget, your credit, and the features you need in your van.

Mileage and Reliability

Used vans will have higher mileage on them than others, which could be a drawback if its previous owners didn’t keep up with routine maintenance and important repairs. However, a used vehicle with more miles doesn’t automatically equate to broken down and worn out. [...]

Why Buy a Conversion Van?

Before getting into the process of selecting a conversion van, take a minute to confirm that this is indeed the vehicle you want to purchase.

The interior of conversion vans also feels incredibly spacious thanks to the extra headroom inside. [...]

If you are in the market for a new conversion van, then you will likely want to know how much you should plan on paying for the vehicle. In addition to the sticker price of the vehicle, there are some other fees that you will need to keep in mind. Take a look at all of the factors that go into pricing a conversion van so you can save up accordingly.

Taxes

As with any other purchase that you make, you will have to pay tax on your conversion van. In Ohio, the state itself collects a tax of 5.75% on any vehicle bought. Certain counties charge an additional 2% in taxes. Keep these figures in mind because while the percentage is fairly small, it can add up to a few hundred dollars depending on the price of your conversion van.

Keep in mind, however, that these taxes are not applied to any discounts you [...]
