Maybe I’ll look more towards the 1.9td or 2.4 for now unless anything stand out with the other engines comes along.
Conversion can be bog basic to get a ticket from DVLA.
No need for water.
Permanent cooking can be a single ring stove that looks like it's screwed down or a microwave in a cupboard.
I ran mine for 2 years insured legitimately as a camper whilst I did the conversion. Providing the conversion was underway, the insurance weren't bothered.

I’ve got my Eye on a 1.9td at the mo, it’s got 200k on it, cupboards and bed but not registered camper. Hopefully can view it soon.

As you the cost, our inside set us back 80 quid for 4 way carpet 70 for rear seat and the rest is made up of swaps from the good folk on here. Not finished I know but you can have a functional day van for not a lot of money. Doh almost forgot 500 for two windows and black out barn door glass.

Thanks mate, that’s a great quick and helpful reply
I’m torn between continuing a hunt for a £2000 van and then starting fresh or this one I’m looking at.
Could I get all this for £1000? It already has the swivel twin front seat, re trimmed, bed, cupboards and leccy bits but it all needs work. It looks like a good base for me to rip out, clean, see what’s what and refit and then do my own floor etc and sort rust. It’s a 1.9td too. Looks a rusty beast tho
