I am interested to receive recommendations on how to find individuals who have extensive experience in assembling van conversion projects. I am interested to Install a shower/toilets / small bed on the end floor of the duplex, a small couch on the bottom floor, and a small desk to be working with 2 people max, a small refrigerator on the bottom, minimal storage space. electrically I want to have an extra battery, I would like to be able to function even when the van is not driving. Outlets for conventional use in all parts of the van. The electricity will be used significantly for computer Use, cell phone charging, minimal led lighting. If it is possible to make a toilet operable like a boat toilet that would be ideal, in other words, a holding tank that would be able to pump out at camping sights. I would not need heated water, cold waters shower will be enough. If possible as large water tank as possible. I need all of this to fit in a 6 x 5 feet. The shower I would like to install on the side where there is a sliding door, this way when it is open space is utilized at least halfway. the rest of the space in the bank will be open space that will be utilized for carrying cargo. It will also be refitting but on the sides, we will put railings to secure the items that will be loaded onto the van for transport. I need to have this project done as efficiently as possible. I am realistic of a budget, but want to use the most basic materials, and installs to save as much money as possible on the project. Will be using a Sprinter 170 Extended with more space, and will be allocated out of all the inside space 6 feet in length and 5 feet in width, it is actually a bit more but all of the width side to side can be used and from the front of the seats assuming we can put the seats as far in front as possible input a wall to secure them in place. After that we are making as a separate room because from that wall on top starts a small bed, on the bottom to the right there is a small couch, which can open and become like a bed also. in the front, there is a shower toilet. to the right of the couch approximately 6 feet from the wall to another wall we puta small retractable table that we can use to work on the computer. I would like to put somewhere a small stainless steel fridge. I have many ideas that I would like to share. I would also be willing to pay for projects and blueprints and guidelines on how to get it done. The item will be used in order to be on the road virtually all the time, enjoy relaxed working, office modern, environment. with shower and sleeping options. The van needs to be comfortable yet cozy, simple, not complicated, easy-going, affordable, convenient. The overall budget for this project is roughly $15k. I know this is a tight budget, but judging by the cost of the insulation, and the toys, I should be able to purchase most of them for under $10k, and then 50% for the actual work of installation. I could probably be moved up another `10 - 15 percent depending on the project.
