Definitely not Mark III! I have one and love the van mechanically but the conversion leaves a lot to desire. Both rear side windows are rusting under the window. I had a body shop repair it last year and it is starting to bubble again. The only correct way to fix it is to remove both windows. I opted to a quick fix. The van has never seen road salt but I was told that Mark III cut out and failed to prime the opening. They were located in Florida and went out of business a few years ago.

Hands down, the better quality is StarCraft. The company takes extra steps to protect the sheet metal body panels and the paint. Thus, the vehicles last longer. Ever see those conversion vans with rust along the wide conversion windows? StarCraft takes pride in preventing that.

My parents own a 1992 Ram Van conversion by StarCraft. We owned a 2000 Ram Van conversion by PrimeTime. The PrimeTime already rust out along the wide rear windows by 2008. The StarCraft is still solid.

The rear windows on our '96 Aero Conversion are still holding on rust-wise but the rear sofa-like bed is failing completely & it doesn't see too much use, probably a design problem.

Next time I hope we can make a better choice and get the van with the better conversion.

How's the conversions you talked about comfort-wise?

Looking for Starcraft RAM Van Conversions here we discovered that they're extremely rare in Europe - there's only a few Chevy G20 Van Conversions by Starcraft but no Dodges yet.
