    The money you spend doing it including your time, Its cheaper and on average and possibly better build quality to buy one already done, Coach built that is, Insurance is a nightmare as it will only be classed as a van and wont cover anything you put into it, If it gets nicked you will only get the basic cost of the van,  If its light goods then the DVLA will not change it over to PLG and then over to a camper van, 

    I did a VW T5 conversion with elevating roof with rock n roll bed and full kitchen . Just the build was around 8k . I had DVLA change the logbook from commercial to

    motorcaravan  .This was about 10 years ago  ,they have changed the criteria now by not recognising an elevating roof. However if you have a high top commercial van and want to convert it to a camper add side windows, cooking facilities, bed, seats & decals on van to make it look like a camper
    Theres a good chance it will be passed as a motor caravan . If not it’ll be passed as a van with windows  you’ll still be able to insure with specialist / campervan insurance company .

    Yes, the cheap diesel heaters are really good. I’ve got one fitted in the camper, it’s plumbed into the diesel tank. Also an all in one type for the workshop, £96 off eBay. I run that on central heating oil, really cheap to run at 12p litre at the moment.
