Awesome! My climbing buddy has been searching for the right conversion van to travel and live out of. Dang those can get pricey. Gotta love the adventure life. Happy climbing! Look forward to reading more of your posts.

Yeah, conversion vans are crazy expensive -- it's because of who they're being marketed at. It's way easier just to get a regular old work van and put what you need in it. It shouldn't cost more than 10ish grand to get setup in a decent van.

I definitely think that building it yourself is the way to go as well! I have a lot of gear and stuff since I'm living in it full-time and don't have any other storage, so I needed to build mine specifically for my needs. I wouldn't have been able to do that in a conversion van. I did go with a brand new van though (after a huge loss from buying an old Sprinter off of Craigslist) and I'm happy to not have to worry about the van itself having any mechanical issues. I think my buildout probably cost $6,000 or so. Should have kept track of my spending on it!
