Re: Conversion
The windows are the giveaway. Campers based on the microbus or caravelle have windows all round and these are "flush" with the bodywork. Whereas converted panel vans tend not to have windows all round and aftermarket windows(because of the seals) stand slightly proud of the body. If you post a picture we can give you a definitive answer....I hope that's not to confusing. Mark

Not true. Auto-Sleepers have windows all round as do Autohomes campers.

Re: Conversion
Yep, conversion like mine
Rust like mine.
The good news is the rust on a flush window should be easier to sort, than on a recessed window
