Upcoming campervan shows?

[Alex@POD]

I'm looking to build a camper, based on a VW LT/Merc Sprinter LWB. I'd like to attend a show or 2 to see what's out there and get ideas and get a fell for the type of conversion I have planned. What's a good show for converted vans? I don't really want to travel 200 miles only to find there are 2 T4s displayed...

I'm in Yorkshire, so I guess Midlands is as far as I want to go.

For info, I'm thinking (front to back): front swivel seats, table, forward facing twin seat, kitchen opposite toilet/shower, then fixed bed over garage.

Everything looks fine in my head but I need to get a feel for the space above the bed and the width around the kitchen/shower area.

Thanks for the replies so far, I might get myself to the NEC! Dusseldorf is definitely in the "too far" category, I don't doubt it's a good show but I can't justify going there for a few hours of "research".

I'm on the T4 forum already and the information there is invaluable, there aren't many big vans similar to what I want to do though, and I don't see myself turning up at a meet asking to see everyone's vans!
