The (ever growing) List of VW Conversion Considerations

In summary, here are my main considerations for the build. As I think of more, I’ll add them here to the list. Split into sections, they are as follows:-

Water/sanitary

Sink

Toilet

Shower

Fresh water arrangements

Waste water arrangements

Electrical

240V, 12V supply, or both.

Extra lighting

Second ‘leisure battery’ – type, charging arrangements, isolating arrangements

Campground hook up

Berthing

Number of beds

Size and style (fixed/drop down/rock n roll)

Storage

Amount of storage and where it’ll be included

Ancillary Equipment

Should ancillary equipment, such as laptop/tv/stereo etc, be integrated during the build phase, or ‘bolted on’ afterwards?

Stealth

Should I consider fitting windows and pop top etc, or should I maintain the look of a normal panel van?

Once each of these issues have been tackled and resolved, I hope to address the layout and consider how best to include a range of the above features.
