........the reason I ask is becuse I was interested to know what you did with a few things.....i.e. the runners in the floor, flooring in general and the cabinets etc.....
Anybody already done one of these van's - I would appreciate a few heads up on do's and dont's

I have done a Movano conversion which is the same as the Master but with a different badge on the steering wheel and the front grille.
Videos on my You Tube channel, link in signature below. One main problem is step between cab and load bay if you have a swivel seat lounge. Other problems = curves in body sides and roof (common to all panel vans)

i'd have good wander over the net, look at as many self build pics as possible, whenever you see a self build in the flesh ask the owner if you can have a look, most of us love showing peeps round and discussing how things were done, what works in one type of van usually works in another, also have a good think on what you want to be doing with the van. day trips ? weeks and weeks away ?.using camp sites ? wilding ? both ?. how many its got to sleep. lot's to think about. you don't have to do it all to use the van, our first trip out consisted of a cool box, blow up mattress and camping cooker. consider it an ongoing project, most of all inbetween the swearing/cut knuckles have fun , any questions ask away

I've done a couple of ambulances,can't remember what make but they're all similar in some respects--the electrics are incredibly complex !there's all sorts of hardware you'll never need. some cupboards might be ok with new fronts idid try to post some pics but not working
