with all the gear my car is getting too small, and i also need to be able to live in it( im traveling Australia.) So a van it is, anybody has any idea where to look for a good traveler's van? Is LPG a good idea?
Haha, that ad was gold.... too bad the Mars bar wasn't included. I was almost about to bid till i read that
Umm this is a long shot but have you tried maybe a commercial car dealer or trading post. Jees where else would you find one num nuts.
my bunky 89 tarago has 346k and still going strong. all the seats fold flat into a giant bed :D

Try www.gumtree.com.au and search your local area, all the travelling people post there van's on here cause its free
good luck
Oh by the way I have a Toyota Hiace Van for motocross and it makes a sweep little weapon for kiteboarding and heaps of room to have a sleep and a small party 
i had a look and there is nothing to suggest a roof rack can be added.
Hey eev
How about this one
4wd camper setpup
perfect for getting around Australia
Plenty of room for kite buddies you will meet along the way
I used to have a Mitsi Express 4WD LPG. Decked it out as a camper in the back by removing the interior masonite panels and using then as templates for thick plywood pannels to structurally support the camper compartments. Was fantastic, with alloy bar, rear tyre holders, stereo, and colored lights! Then came the hail storm big time :( Ended up a write off!!!
Was great for the sand, but not a real serious 4WD, very bumpy as you are sitting on top of the wheel and suspension. Still sad to see it go. If you really want a van the 4WD Mitsi Tarago/Challenger ones are not bad. Otherwise go for 2WD. I reckon a 2WD Express SWB with dual side sliding doors would be good, ideally in diesel. Otherwise a Troopy with a slide on van set up would be sweet!
Auction can be a good source. Manheim Fowles or Pickles. These vans come up now and again as ex-fleet.
