That's how I've done my Metris cargo. Last week loaded with event gear. Posting this right now from upstate NC with 'camping' setup....bed and workstation table.I'm not doing a standard upfit, because I'm hooked on the flexibility of the Metris as a cargo hauler, people hauler, and weekender/camper. So I'm going the D-I-Y route, with simple modular components that can be swapped in or out, depending on how I'm using the van that week.
Did you visit Keystone Coach Works in Eugene Oregon? I'm trying to determine if their work is as good as Peace Vans. They appear to be very similar in what they do and materials used. Thanks.We picked up our full-westy conversion of our new 2017 Metris cargo in late October 2019.
We searched various vendors and builders, visited a few closer to us in California, but chose Peacevans because they do the fit and finish right. Period. Like many, our history is littered with VW love stories and nightmares, and we missed our ‘85 westy. This Metris camper is a wonderful and reliable replacement, and the fact that MB has taken notice of the Peacevans product and ordered units for their showrooms confirms the quality. Yeah, they cost a bit more than the other guys, but they’re safe, comfortable and built to wear well over time. Worth the investment.

We did not. To be honest, the plastic laminate cabinets on their website model turned us off.Did you visit Keystone Coach Works in Eugene Oregon? I'm trying to determine if their work is as good as Peace Vans. They appear to be very similar in what they do and materials used. Thanks.
Thanks for your response. They are not plastic laminate cabinets at Keystone, they are solid Corian. But I do prefer the wooden look of the Peace Vans cabinets. Are they solid or laminate cabinets at Pease Vans? Since they offer solid color cabinets as well, I assume they are laminate. I suppose the only way to truly judge both is to visit both facilities. I like the idea of the OEM trim that Peace Vans offers. But that shows as both a standard feature and as an option on their website. I haven't received a response yet as to which is correct. An extra $4500 is a big difference. Thanks again.We did not. To be honest, the plastic laminate cabinets on their website model turned us off.
I think you should call peace vans and talk to Harley. He can answer your questions. As a contractor I know Corian is tough but also heavy. PV uses Reimo cabinets and passenger seat/bed and the quality is very good.Thanks for your response. They are not plastic laminate cabinets at Keystone, they are solid Corian.

We have looked at both Peace and Keystone and have decided on Keystone to do our conversion on a 2021 chassis. Both companies seem to do excellent work and get praise from customers. We like the Corian cabinet faces knowing that they are durable and we can pick any Corian color we choose. I am not thrilled with the portable water container in the Peace van and they could not give us an outside shower which we wanted. We had a Eurovan in the past and wanted the same features. Finally, and not insignificant is the cost. Peace is considerably more expensive than Keystone with the same options and Oregon has no sales tax. It adds up. That is our reasoning but I think either company would deliver a fine product. EAnyone had an upfit done by Peace Vans? Looking for recommendations.
