Hi all
New to the forum and I have a couple of questions that have been probably been asked and answered a million times.
Basically I am soon to buy a VW Transporter SWB van (hopefully no older than 8 year old) and wanting to convert it.
Having spent a lot of time in U-Shaped campers we are looking at buying one of the kits from VanProject77 (£1,200) which would provide us with the seating, cushions, upholstery and a cabinet.
First on the list though would be the electrics and getting windows fitted. The cheapest method of fitting the windows would be to do it myself, but... how much would this cost me (roughly) to have them professionally fitted as I am wary about cutting a huge hole in the side of the van.
Secondly...electrics - this is something I do not want touch myself as I wouldn't know where to start. What price should I expect to pay to have the usual leisure battery, charger system, lights and a couple of plugs fitted?
And thirdly, insulation and lining. From watching videos and trawling this forum it looks like a pretty straight forward process so I don't mind completing it myself. How much would the materials cost through?
As we're wanting to keep it on a budget we're going to skip the pop top, skink, ruining water, gas cooker etc.
Anything I've missed?
Thanks in advance for any help or advise you can offer T:
