Hi
I'm extremely amateur and have never taken on anything like this but I will have help from someone that has had experience in this sort of thing.
Reading up there are no regulations for DIY conversions in the UK as long as it's not used for business / rental purposes. I think having certificates may provide insurance companies with extra comfort when providing insurance, leading to a potentially cheaper premium however I'm not going to focus too much on that at the moment.
I only intend to use it a couple of times a month really for me, my girlfriend and our new pup. My budget for van and conversion is approximately £4500-£5000. I've looked in to leisure batteries, how to store gas canisters etc. I am thinking about insulating it though to be honest. I've added a very quick sketch that I am hoping to achieve (feel free to laugh!!!). It's mean to be looking through the rear of the van! I plan on making a 'to-scale' plan once a van has been purchased and I have exact dimensions to work with.
If you think this isn't achievable please let me know I'd love to hear more tips Thanks for all the help so far.
