As I said, differing opinions. To me it was a simply ploy to try and sell a product, ie call it a "Sandman conversion". Even if they decided to call it a " panel van conversion", still doesn't make it a panel van. To me (again an opinion) it was a poor marketing decision to cash in on a 70's icon. Doesn't detract from how neat these things are, and i'm glad there are poeple who love them.
