    Judging by the work you have done to create your workshop you will have no issues converting your van. I have a van the same size and the freedom it gives us to just go and stay where you want to photograph is great, self sufficient for days is a bonus. Good luck with your project Nigel

    I'm sure you've already thought about this, but in case you haven't, be sure to include hidden lockable storage, as well as a safe for storing your camera gear.
    Also, a slide out or storage location specifically for tripod(s).

    What an exciting project Nigel, your vision looks incredible. I am a fellow van lifer as well, so very much look forward to following your build, and the adventures yiu have in the future. Just one tip, ensure you can get through the window between the bulkhead and the cab, in case you're ever in a situation where you need to leave a particular location quickly and it's not safe to have to open your doors and get out of the habitation area into the cab. Good luck with everything.

    Wow, your camper van build is awesome Nigel. Yes, you are lucky to be in a position to do this, but you've worked hard to achieve your dreams. Enjoy every moment of this new journey/adventure. Can't wait to see each video as you progress to finality. We've just bought a camp trailer to allow us more freedom exploring my country to enable me to take more photographs. As we take it out on small journeys we find out what we need & what we don't, then we can do a big trip. Exciting times. 😀

    Nice plan for the van loving the idea of a foldable roof deck. Where you have the front table and seat if you took the cabin divide away completely you could have couple of swivel seats and also easy access to the drivers seat if you need to move off without going outside. Looking forward to the next episode if your workshop is anything to compare to the van is going to look a beauty.
