Mini-van conversion

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I couldn't find a more specific spot.
I bought an AWD Aerostar mini-van a couple years ago as a project van (blown head gasket, maybe more). Haven't done much with it since, but a few months back a large part of our tree fell on it. The roof is caved in pretty badly and the windshield is cracked. I thought about what to do with it and decided I should convert it to a full on camper. Not sure where to go with it so I'm looking for ideas and thought maybe this section would be a good place to look.
Thanks in advance,
Gator

The Aerostar is kind of a hybrid unibody/frame vehicle so you don't want just go at it with a sawsall! Give a little thought to maintaining the rigidity of the body.

My BIL had one and loved it for camping and hauling his boat. The AWD was really pretty effective for any place you would take a vehicle with limited ground clearance.
