Here at Paul Sherry Conversion Vans, we strive to treat every one of our customers like family. We understand that looking at and purchasing a vehicle from a great distance can be a daunting experience, but does it have to be? We don’t think so.

We recently received this review on Cars.com:

I inquired on a Saturday morning via a phone call (from Colorado) to Justin Smith @ Paul Sherry Conversion Vans regarding a 2012 GMC Explorer Conversion Van he had advertised on-line. I had been searching for several months to find a specific make/model for myself and family. Justin had posted a very detailed and informative video tour of the Van I was looking for. When I called, he was prompt to reply and confirm the details of the Van as noted on his video. He was extremely helpful in guiding me through the financing/purchasing options available. Within 30 minutes we had the purchase [...]

It is already available in more than [...]

Also, when it comes to Conversion Vans, the accessories on the van are going to [...]

My family hadn’t visited relatives down south in over two years. Back then, we had rented a far-too-small minivan, drove all night and arrived in Hilton Head exhausted. This time would be different.

Early Saturday morning, in front of our Kansas City home, my wife and I loaded luggage into our new RAM Sherry Conversion Van. Our oldest son, nearly six-foot tall at age 15, took a seat in the back, where he stretched his legs and promptly nodded off. Our younger two, Lisa and Eric, bickered over entertainment before focusing their sibling rivalry into a competitive round of Mario Kart displayed on the 36” HDTV.

“That beats coloring books and magnetic checkers for road-trip entertainment,” my wife commented as I pulled onto I-70.

“No kidding! With the kids occupied and plenty of leg room, we might be able to drive straight through instead of stopping [...]

When it’s time to head to the big game, having a great tailgate party is an absolute necessity. While many fans drive their cars or trucks to the stadium, serious fans are discovering the one and only way to get the true tailgate experience with their friends is by purchasing a RAM Sherry Conversion Van.

So what is so special about a RAM Sherry Van? For starters, it’s not your Uncle’s Hippy Van. Today’s conversion vans are more like mini-homes on wheels. Imagine pulling into the stadium parking lot in a van that’s equipped with a 32-inch HDTV and has seating for up to nine passengers. With that much room, everyone in the parking lot will suddenly become your friend, wanting to climb aboard and join the Sherry fan club. Heck, even Jay Cutler and Kirk Cousins will want to join that club.

Headroom, always [...]

This is an underdog story of high-top roofs, TVs and wood and leather, an underdog story of a slighted van coming back to best its bully – and it begins with the Dodge Sprinter.

 

A Tale of Two Vans

At the turn of the century, Mercedes-Benz sold a mammoth cargo van in the United States as a Dodge Sprinter. After a few years, Mercedes reclaimed the name, leaving Dodge and parent company Chrysler out in the cold. Once Fiat purchased Chrysler, Chrysler turned to its new father for help, and Fiat obliged. Up its sleeve it had the Fiat Ducato, a popular European van produced for three generations and trusted as a cargo van and motorhome. Built on the Ducato chassis and much to Mercedes’ chagrin, Chrysler unleashed the Ram ProMaster work and cargo van.

Now, the Ram Sherry Van, built on the [...]

Investing in a conversion van can be a beneficial move that provides you with the ability to take many passengers comfortably down the road. Many conversion vans can seat seven to nine passengers, and they may have comfortable seating, entertainment accessories and other amenities. While you may need to select the right style of van with a focus on the interior amenities and the color of your vehicle, you also need to make the important decision about whether to purchase a front-wheel drive van or an all-wheel drive conversion van. When you understand the differences between these two options, you can make a better decision about your van purchase that is right for you.

What Is Front-Wheel Drive?

When you compare the options of vans available, you may determine that a front-wheel drive vehicle has a more affordable up-front cost.  Because of [...]

Compared to Chevrolet, Ford and GMC, the RAM ProMaster Sherry Conversion Van offers many more advantages. From the overall design, interior and mechanical features, the 9-passenger van remains in a class of its own. Could this make the Sherry Van the Ultimate Passenger Van?

 

 

Unlike the Ford Transit conversion van, the factory raised roof of the Sherry Van is part of the framework and not a fiberglass add-on. In fact, the van is more than 17 inches taller, one foot longer and wider, but weighs 300 pounds less. The floor is also lower. In addition to providing more head and leg room, door entrances are wider and taller than the models manufactured by the competition. The rear doors open a full 270 degrees and lock into place when needed. The side door slides open and the width provides ample space in the event [...]

Luckily, Paul Sherry Conversion Vans can solve both desires with Custom Vans that boast a superior 6’4″ head clearance. It’s no wonder that Sherry Vans are popular with pro-basketball and Football Players. Whether you’re a balla or just a little bit taller, these vans understand.

If you think Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is the perfect example of someone who drives a flashy sports car, get ready to be surprised. The 31-year-old football player, who has two young sons with wife Kristin Cavallari, is the proud owner of a white conversion van. According to reports, it’s a Chevy 2500 manufactured by Explorer Van Co. in Indiana. Onlookers assert the van is as tricked-out than any luxury car around.

 

 

Cutler drove to training camp in Bourbonnais, IL in what he calls his “dad style” vehicle, which the Orlando Sentinal claims could cost upwards of $60,000. The customized van is great for families, but it’s also practical for hauling luggage, equipment, and teammates. It seats nine people and boasts a 6.0-liter V-8 engine, with options for television and game outlets on the inside.

Cutler is not the only prominent [...]

Hey all you flower children of the 60’s!

Consider a New Conversion Van to replace your old, musty, historical, paint splattered and Woodstock weary van. You may want to grab your cane, walker, oxygen tank or whatever assistance you require in this modern age and come on over to Paul Sherry Vans to check out their new ProMaster Conversion Van; but hang on to your hat and your pacemaker because they sure don’t make ’em like they used to. And that, my friends, is a good thing!

Fortunately, with the maturity rate of the young and rebellious, came changes to the conversion van industry as the hippies began to marry and raise families. Along with modern home conveniences, transportation vehicles became demanding of captain’s chair seats and custom interior lighting, thereby making the modern van a vehicle with a multitude of luxurious options.

Thinking of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Conversion Van? Think again!

When it comes to choosing between the Mercedes Sprinter Conversion Van and other Conversion Vans on the market, the total cost of ownership can be a significant factor in your decision. For many years, the Mercedes Sprinter was thought to be the only “Euro” style conversion van on the market. But not anymore! The Ram ProMaster Conversion Van has “Euro” Van styling with qualities like nothing else in production! With features like front wheel drive, taller interior height and a lower cost of ownership, the Ram Promaster will be a common choice for those browsing for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Conversion Van.

 

The Ram ProMaster is built on the Fiat Ducato platform. This configuration brings a front-wheel drive platform to the conversion van market. The power train is the Pentastar 3.6 liter [...]

The front-wheel drive Conversion Van is gaining in popularity because of its lack of a full-length drive train. This means that the interior of the cabin can be more spacious, and because the van rides closer to the road level, vertical interior space has increased. The Ram ProMaster Passenger Van is an excellent example of how a workable platform can be used to create a very nicely appointed cabin.

 

Advantages Of The Ram ProMaster

First and foremost, the platform upon which the ProMaster is built allows for plenty of weight for interior amenities without drastically reducing the fuel efficiency. The Ram ProMaster gets better fuel mileage than either of its closest competitors, namely the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savanna twins and the Ford Transit Conversion Van.

The low-riding design means a low-top appearance, but this should not be considered a minus when considering a new conversion [...]

When you’re considering a Conversion Van for road trips and camping, consider the “Low Roof” Ram ProMaster by Sherry Vans. The ProMaster has been on the market for about a year now and it’s proving its versatility. It compares favorably to the Chevrolet/GMC Express/Savanna platform that is so popular with van conversions nowadays, and it offers today’s buyers exciting new features you can’t find anywhere else. The market seems to say that the low top vans have made something of a comeback as a platform for conversion vans. The Ram ProMaster is among the best prospects.

Drive Train

There are many reasons why the Ram Promaster is looking like the best option for low-top Conversion Van customers. The drive train is the most obvious one. Front wheel drive removes the rear drive train, lowers the floor, and allows for quite a lot of extra interior room. [...]

2021 Update See video below for more recent information on this topic Conversion Van Value

When trying to sell your Conversion Van, the first piece of information you want to know is the value. For decades, NADA guides has been relied on for publishing the most market reflective vehicle pricing and information. NADA guides began with the very well known orange and blue printed guidebooks which are to this day relied on by hundreds of thousands of individuals each year. Today, NADA guides have become a leader in vehicle data publishing and technology. NADA guides are the largest publisher of vehicle pricing and information for new and used cars, classic cars, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, RVs and manufactured homes. The only type of vehicle in which NADA does not provide information for is conversion vans.

NADA has retracted its value [...]

The end of Mercedes and Chrysler’s automotive relationship also meant the end of the Sprinter as the commercial van of choice for Dodge division. Enter Fiat and emergence of its Ducato van as a replacement for the recently spun-off Ram brand. Now reformulated for American consumption, the Ram ProMaster

But the one question that’s on everyone’s minds is “how well it’ll do when it comes to fuel efficiency?” Since the ProMaster is exempt from EPA fuel economy testing, there aren’t any official claims just yet in terms of fuel economy. Whatever the numbers are, they’re probably much better than those of the old full-size Ram Van – a vehicle that enjoyed a 32-year-long run with relatively few changes.

What We Know

What we do know is this: under the hood of the Ram ProMaster is Chrysler’s stalwart 3.6-liter Pentastar six-cylinder engine. Coupled to a [...]

 

The classic Conversion Van is as important to American culture as hot dogs and apple pie. Well, maybe not that important. But conversion vans have been a part of our automotive landscape since the early 1970s. Even though they’ve evolved over the years, these incredible vehicles still have their rightful place.

As a dealership mascot, we happen to have a 1977 Chevrolet Hop Cap that could easily pass as the dictionary definition of a van conversion. It has everything you’d expect from a 1970s era conversion, including hardwood floors and plenty of shag. It also has a killer paint job that would make any child of the 70s swoon.

The Early Years

The history of the conversion van goes back to the 1970s and a little-known company in Goshen, Indiana. Back then, van conversions were all about being a [...]

You’ve reached the conclusion that it’s time to sell or trade in your conversion van. Understandably, you’re a bit nervous because you have no idea what your custom van is worth.

Paul Sherry Conversion Vans, an industry leader with a reputation for years of reliable sales and service, explains that most dealers don’t even get into appraising conversion vans because they don’t know how to value them. Dealers like to rely on the Kelley Blue Book or NADA value, both of which rely heavily [...]

 

Conversion vans were quite popular in the 70s and 80s but declined in desirability throughout much of the 90s. But with all the technological advancements to modern vehicles, a conversion van is a good choice today, and here are 10 reasons why:

Sturdiness

Unibody SUVs simply can’t compare to the sturdiness of a vehicle built on a frame. This is important in terms of safety, durability, and reliability.

Handling

Yes, there was a time when a conversion van drove like a truck, but now they handle more like a well-engineered car. This improved handling means even those who used to worry about driving a larger vehicle can do so with ease.

Price

While SUVs have been all the rage lately, a conversion van can provide all the space and amenities for much less. Those SUVs, in addition to [...]

If you are looking to buy a used conversion van, then you are obviously a savvy consumer. The conversion van offers a great many amenities for the camper and traveler that are comparable to what is found in larger recreational vehicles, but conversion vans are much lower in cost than an RV. Conversion vans and Class B motorhomes have a number of similarities, but they have their differences. In addition, those who have purchased a van conversion know exactly what they want, and this type of person has a strong pride of ownership that shows when shopping for a used conversion van. Many of these used vans are in fantastic condition.

Not only are used conversion vans in better condition than many of the RVs on the market, but you will be able to save a lot of money from the price [...]

Going over the mechanical and electrical parts of your van will pay off by giving you a smoother trip without those annoying and avoidable issues. Here’s a look at some of the most important aspects that you should check.Inspect-Conversion-Van-service
The Battery
Batteries can die at any time of the year, but it’s more likely that the winter cold will push them to their edge. You can visit your local auto parts store and have your battery’s life checked for free to be sure that you can count on it while you’re on the road. When removing the battery, be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves. You do not want battery [...]

Conversion vans are a great luxury, especially on long road trips or if you have a large family. However, owning one comes with a lot of responsibility! Cleaning the windows on a normal-sized vehicle is as easy as using some soap, water, and a rag. But cleaning the large windows on a conversion van can be quite a task if you’re unprepared. Now that Spring is Back, your conversion van windows are probably in need of a cleaning and you may be wondering what the best way to go about cleaning your windows may be.
