You know it makes sense

Transporters are mint, best motor I ever had.
They are expensive because they last (fully galvanised body) and have good engines.
The key point is that it's worth getting the best you can nearly afford as they don't depreciate nearly as badly as ALL other commercial vehicles.
Get the best base vehicle you can find and take your time doing it up yourself - contractors will charge a bomb.
Just be realistic about your budget - a cheap van is just that - cheap. For a reason.

20k fuck that stay in a hotel for £50.
660 When you get one , buy a Kyham Drive away awning / Tent
This is an old pic, and ( Pikey Chrome mirrors now removed ! )..
Having a full camper conversion no good for me , as need to get x2 bikes in .. and after the ACU sprint the other day , you want bikes in van, with alarm .. and you out side !
Bollocks to camping in winter, but with the fitted Kyham Waterproof carpet, and a couple of huge " big Brother Type " bean bags , its a decent set up in the summer , with access to the van side door / or , drive way to shops for more beers , an it keeps your space .

depends where you are but these are some smart vans! would need to spend a lot of money and personally I'd be tempted to buy something like an autosleeper, use it for a few years and sell it for a couple of grand less than you paid rather than build something totally custom that needs to appeal to your doppelganger!
That said, I'm on my 3rd home build, I never struggled to sell any of them and even if you are not the most gifted at handwork/crafting stuff it is still really satisfying.
