Hi and welcome.
One of the first things you need to do with a panel van, is to consider insulation. Celotex is a good insulation board that can be spray glued to surfaces and where inpractical glass fibre or other packing type insulation is good.
Always consider that the metal van walls with warm air inside and cold air outside, makes a good surface for condensation when you add some form of heating later. If adding windows later, you can easily cut through the Celotex and plywood lining (if that is the way you go)
When the walls are finished, consider a quality thick plywood floor, which is easier to fit at this stage.
When I first built my own van many years ago, I went to every Motorhome Show I could, to study layouts.
Good luck!

Type camper van conversion into a youtube search and it will bring up dozens of videos to give ideas of what to do and how to go about it.

Hello

 

[WildHorse]

Good day to you! www.carbuilder.com for many useful bits including insulation and sound deadening. If your starting from scratch its a build most of the 12 volt is fairly simple but unless your competent with 230 volts, best leave that to an expert, any good auto electricians in your area???
Your welcome to give me a shout if you get stuck along the way.
