Which van to convert?
Discussion
My winter break is fast approaching and im needing a project to keep me busy and this year i have decided to convert a van into a camper.
Once it's done it will be used mainly for work, to save on hotel costs, where im away from home between 4-10 nights at a time. I wont be needing to install a shower or a toilet (i'll be using on site facilities) but will be wanting running water (sink), microwave and some sort of cooling device (fridge/cool box).
It will be used by me only so wont be needing something overly large but at the same time wont be wanting something too small. Budget wise im looking at £6k for the van and whatever the fit out costs come in at. Buying one ready made isnt an option as that's too easy and i like a challenge.
So with all that in mind what would you lot suggest would be a good base van?

Thanks for the replies so far guys.
Originally i was really liking the vivaros mainly due to the looks but after some reading up, and replies on here, regarding the reliability they have worked their way out of the equation.
The VW T5 option is a good shout but i think space might just be an issue but love the way they look. The transit did cross my mind quite a bit as the no brainer fail safe option and there seems to be hell of a lot more choice than ant other van out there. Ive got two weeks until my time off starts and no doubt will spend every waking hour until then reading up on conversions and finding inspiration.
