As for a van it all depends on what you are looking for, panel van campers come up quite regularly - most needing work to one degree or another. Couch built models are cheaper as a rule and although based on the same chassis the rear body can hold unseen horrors behand the panelling where rotten timber frames can lurk. At least with a van conversion you usually get what you see, but watch out for the dreaded filler.
If you do find one post some detailed pics and we will give you an honest appraisal

Hi Mark long time no speaky
My advise is look beyond the louvered windows, if that's his best selling point then look right through them There doesn't seem to be much else going for it unless the full resto means a good wash and polish and the non running engine is because it's run out of petrol[}] Only joking but remember a 'full resto' can cost many thousands of pounds and even if you do it yourself it could take a long time and a serious wedge - but go and see it and decide for yourself. It could be a total basket case or it could be just what you are looking but at least you can see what's what and see one in the flesh. Go camera in hand and report back ASAP with lots of pics of everything
