Thanks for your response! I think I have already decided to make just about everything at seated level, not to use a Rock n Roll bed but go for pull out bed from seating. Also, to consider MWB or LWB to provide a little more space (I'm tall!).

Now actively looking online at different vehicle types to build up a list of suitable vans, possibly towards the higher BHP ones of 110 or 130. I would like to consider a 4-wheel drive - but think that is out of my range at the moment!

Spending time looking at other's conversions is proving very useful - and anticipating problems.

Guess my major concern is engine and chassis - not a motor mechanic, but I do have engineering skills!

Thoughts: planning to purchase a standard SWB panel van first, convert and then travel around UK. Just to see how the travelling life goes! If it works out, then to buy a high top, possibly LWB for converting to euro travel.

All new to this, but it seems like a plan. Has anyone done similar?

Great virtual book Mike!
