if you drill holes for ventilation, put a 2-3 inch computer fan so you get air circulation, you can put a small switch on it so it doesn't run all the time.

Those Victron MPPT and DC-DC chargers don get much passive cooling when installed horisontally. Put them vertically, hot air rises and radiator can dissipate heat.

​@@TravelwithGaryandAmika no worries fella. I put mine ontop of an A4 size of galvanished steel sheet which distributes that heat better. Victron reccomend its better to keep the dc charger to be placed closer to the batteries you are charging.

Rounded any corners because everyone is an accident in the middle of the night. Maybe rubber floor mats everywhere. A mural on the white wall would look nice. There's some nice wallpaper type pictures you could buy. maybe even star gaze for the roof. Maybe even a white-board to write on, although they are heavy. Always large blacked out windows. Clearly no TV, in there! Maybe surround sound type speakers, unsure. Wiring is good, can even be wrapped in spiral plastic. Still prefer instant hot as opposed to water tank, since it's smaller. Tiny type in built draw is good for money/keys/secure item. Ideally somewhat hidden. A laptop shelf or swing up table. Was there a fridge? Anyway they are too heavy, and always powered which is irritating. Oh, a shoe cubby area, shoes smell at night, nice to close them off especially if dirty. Not sure if I saw a mirror, but thin mirror like light stuff exists to buy. Plus they make it look bigger inside. A swing down shelf here and there. Some clips on walls to temporarily make a clothes line hanger if needed. I could go on, but it's all just personal ideas.

I absolutely love getting messages from you so many interesting ideas to consider. I will definitely be taking a few of those on board. I’m still unable to find an instant hot water heater that can power a shower.!! if I could find one, I would switched from my electric water heater. Although the set up that I’ve got provides me with a super powerful shower and it’s red hot. 😂
@kimsland999

@@TravelwithGaryandAmika I had a small (say a shoe box size in height) gas (those very small bottle gas) for my showers. Instant hot means instant hot! It was too hot!! Thankfully there was a dial on it to make it normal shower heat. The cold water pump had its own powered switch (clearly outside of the shower). It was non stop nice and warm water I used 20 litre containers, yes I ran them dry, probably should have combined 2 water containers. Always perfect temperature, and 'instant hot' which I even couldn't believe at first. So: Instant hot retagular box thingy, Water pump for sink and shower. 20litre water container (clearly holding cold or ambient temperature water). Oh and 1 of those fat small gas bottles (locked up in its own box outside). I heard too many HWS huge and heavy, contains sometimes blow! Like everything up! No way I wanted that in my camper. Plus the gas bottle was also used for cooking (gas plates) and I even used them to warm up the camper from the gas hotplates! Um not advisable as the roof gets mega hot, I knew how to time it just right.

Hope you’re both having a great weekend. Love the way you can reconfigure your van, suppose that’s one of the benefits of building your own. Those gadgets to start your van and pump up your tyres are great aren’t they, you always think for the size of them they would never start a van but they do - shows the energy density of Lithium. Look forward to seeing what you get for your next van. Have a great week, all the very best, David & Rachel 👍

Imagine being a copper and walking over to a bloke trying to legitimately camp in his van and say "Hello. We cannot keep law and order in this City and if you stay here, your van might be damaged, you might be hurt or worse." That sums up UK policing right now. The sad thing is that they don't even realise that they caused that.
