Vehicle Description
1981 Chevy G10 Camper Van Conversion - Professionally Self Built
The Vehicle... I purchased this 1981 Beauville in summer of 2019
and converted it into a stealth camper/mobile dwelling. It has been
thoroughly gone through mechanically and serviced with new parts to
include but not limited to: Camshaft (it was a weak link for many
1981 305ci SBC engines from this production) (also a good
indication this vehicle truly has only 55,000 miles and the Odo has
not likely rolled) most of the engine cooling system including
Water Pump, Thermostat, Radiator, Heater core and Hoses. Wheels and
Tires, Shocks, Windshield, vehicle battery, full brake system
overhaul and replacement. Installed modern radio and new speakers
in dash + two 6x9s, various electronic switches replaced. it does
have some minor surface rust. nothing thru or integral. by no means
is she a survivor, but ive put a ton of love into this van. The
House! its the little details that set this one apart. I personally
designed and built the entirety of the vehicles interior rear of
the seats to suit my needs, the needs of a mountain biker who lives
on the road for months at a time. systems and furnishings include:
Full size bed -2' mounted on a custom fabricated aluminum frame
with 12' of storage underneath the whole bed. 12v Refrigerator
cooler that fits under the bedframe and can be pulled out, moved
wherever you like. Comercial sized sink (think kitchen storage) fed
by a 12v electric water pump, push button on/off and tap activated
sp no waiting for pressure. LP two burner stove fed by a standard
20lb tank. carbon monoxide and LP gas detector. usb and cig lighter
port with voltmeter to monitor house battery level. two AGM sealed
batterys feed the 2000w pure sine inverter to supply 'house' power
to 4 different outlets (safe for laptops) can be pluged into
standard power outlet via extension cord. System charges via the
vans alternator or standard battery charger.
