Just though I'd start off by making a wee introduction.. RebelQueen here (aka RQ or Jeanne in everyday life lol) from Aberdeen 
About 18 months ago we bought a 2003 T350 MH LWB minibus with super low miles, one weekend on a whim... (errr
alcohol may have been involved) after talking about converting a van into a camper so we could start taking off for wee family road trips.
My husband Steve and I proceeded to strip right back to the metal core of the van... hence why she's now called Cora. So glad that we did as we discovered that water had been getting in and the floor at the back was rotten.
We insulated the floor and panels and got the van in a very basic layout, put back in the 1st row of minibus seats at the front. Behind the seats we placed a kitchen unit cobbled together from our dismantled old wardrobe plus we had space to store a luggable loo. At the back a dinnette/double bed and tinted the windows with privacy film which we completed just in time to transport 3 adult and 3 kids to the Belladrum Festival in August last year.
I'm so glad that we haven't forked out any cash for the layout so far, as now we've done a few trips away hubby has now admitted that I was right in saying we needed a toilet onboard
So there's still a long way to go and lots more to do.
But for now it's back to the drawing board to figure out how to re-jig the layout.
Looking forward to getting any advice, tips and tricks from you guys along the way.
