Campervan (in the making) summer

Last May we bought a Vw T5 panel van. We had a crazy idea that we would get a van converted within a couple of weeks and spend our summer vacation luxury camping (well compared to camping in our tent it is). Bizarrely, since Fenia (our ex au pair) was visiting we were determined that we would have a campervan ready so that we could have weekends away.  The van was great albeit a panel van that had been previously a works van. But at only 3 years old, we felt it would have lots of life. We drove around many fitters and invested a lot of time figuring out how to go about the conversation. It soon became apparent that there was two problems. A) the waiting time for the fitters to fit our van and B) the cost was escalating beyond what we felt was sensible. We stopped and thought for quite some time. The van remained a panel van.....
