Hi - the bodywork of the van he intends to have professionally converted, all he will be doing is the fitting out of the furniture, etc. in the van. Knowing Ken I am sure it will be a Rolls Royce type conversion and not the hippy converted bus. Obviously the cooker, fridge and gas fittings will have to be installed by an approved gas fitter and the electrics will need certification, he is looking mainly at fitting the furniture and toilet installation. As for the van itself he has a contact to purchase a long wheelbase high top van at a very good price - this is where the temptation comes in.
He has a clssic car which he maintains himself and the vehicle is in fantasic condition both mechanically and body. He is a perfectionist at heart. Also his wife is very particular about the house so there will be no shoddy work.
