Automatic conversion

Hello, haven't been on here for ages, been busy restoring an 84 freight rover Sherpa, now i have got it running perfect and the body work complete im looking for a new project, not to mention we now have a new family member to accommodate! :)

Im looking to buy a coach built conversion, anything really that big enough to accommodate a separate toilet compartment (getting to old to be walking across camp sites in the middle of the night!) Ive obviously looked at just buying a LWB transit or something but i really want something with a bit of character.

What are my options for engine upgrades that could accommodate an automatic transmission. Does anyone know if there is a bolt on transfer box and transmission that will do the trick? or are there any modern engines that i could do a straight swap with?

Be really grateful of any comments or suggestions,
Jay
 
Some Commers came with an auto box so you may not have too much trouble finding one. My old Highwayman had a cassette toilet in the rear 'cupboard/toilet/shower cubicle' - I never used it myself but it would have been fine.

If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?
