I've seen a few where they've bought an old caravan and just ripped all the furniture out of that and put it straight into the van.

Guy at my work was going to do it but he just bought a 54 plate transit already converted for 7/8k I think. Said it would work out cheaper. Got sofa bed thing, tv, electric point, fridge and little cooker and sink.

Also have you thought about vw t4 or t5 vans? There's a huge market of cool parts for those vans

Transporter is easy. Decent ones are worth silly money when done too.
