Tabula Rasa pt1--Nissan NV200 Camper Build

Part 1 of my Nissan NV200 camper van series. This video shows why I think the NV200 will make a good candidate for a camper conversion. I'll also talk about some of the specifications and features of the NV200 cargo van.

In the video I mention the "dealer installed reverse seat option". There actually isn't such an option, but you can do it yourself for free in about an hour. It's far easier than a swivel and you can read more about it here:

The Nissan NV200 Cargo Van (here in SV trim level) is one of the smallest minivans you can buy. However, it's still long enough from front to back to sleep my 6'4" body, with room to spare. It's also 58" wide between the walls, which is almost as big as a Queen sized bed! The floor is flat which should make it easier to build that bed with storage underneath.

Right now my NV200 is a big metal box, but I hope to have the camper conversion started very soon. Like the Odyssey's I will go at it a bit at a time, while using the van for other duties and traveling. If you are thinking about a new minivan for camper conversion, I'd give the NV200 a serious look. Right now it comes as shown, with a 100,000-mile warranty, for $25,000 and you can get a base model for about $23,000. That's almost 10,000 less than a base Honda Odyssey (though the Odyssey IS nicer ;-)
