I love working with conversion van customers! The product sells itself so it makes my job easy! We just try to get customers and their families into the perfect van to fit their needs.

What’s one thing people will be surprised to know about you?
I’m kind of a nerd…I work 24/7 on cars.  Everyone makes fun of me because I am absolutely obsessed with my job.  I think it’s a good thing, it’s how I was raised.  I live to work, not work to live…

I love the people I work with, I love the atmosphere, and I get to pursue my hobby everyday!  Cars, computers, and talking with people is what I do. This is the perfect job for me!

The Dave Arbogast Conversion Van Depot was recently asked, “What are the differences between a GMC and a Chevrolet conversion van?” Quite simply the answer is, nothing. Chevy and GMC conversion vans are almost entirely identical. You can see the small difference in the front fascias in the pictures below. Other than the badges and some styling differences, the chassis, engine, options, and price of the two GM brands are identical.

As of lately, many of our customers have been asking us if the captain’s chairs in the second row can be removed. The answer is absolutely! And it can be done without too much effort. Arbogast Conversion Vans has put together a video to demonstrate how to remove the seat. One things to note is that the seat is somewhat heavy and a helping hand is suggested. If you have to do it by yourself, take your time and don’t throw your back out!

Give the video a watch and let us know if you have any questions. If you have any other inquiries about your conversion van or class B van, don’t hesitate to ask. Arbogast has created an Ask a Technician page to help answer any lingering questions.
