This is the story of my LDV camper / motorhome conversion project. Begun in October 2016, and now an enjoyable vehicle.

Rear wall and kitchen shelf
This structure hosts the small electric oven:
At the left-hand side of the vehicle there are the gas bottles.I need access to this gas bottle box for switching on the gas supply for the heating. Therefore, the structure above this box has been built so that the top cover can easily be removed. The board of the bench / bed which lies on top of the box can be removed - it is not affixed but only lies on the support structure.

Working at night
The day is too short, and I have to work. So the only time I can spend working on the camper is in the evening, when it is already dark.
Now the 2nd wall, the one on the left-hand side is being built. A vertical pole provides the support.

Wall refinements
A few days later I continue working on the wall: add a few horizontal wooden bars to provide stability and points for attaching shelves.
I mount the whole wall outside and then bring it into the bus. This avoids cutting and drilling inside the bus, where the dust would accumulate.
Then I put wooden cladding on the front face of the wall:

Beginning some interior work
I began to use MDF board to construct the interior. The first project would be to have two vertical walls behind the seats, to separate the "passenger compartment" where one sits while driving, from the living compartment where one is when staying somewhere.
I did make use of the floor railings and attached the walls on these rails, so that one would be able to move these walls later.
First I created a cut-out around a floor socket which looks like it is for a table. This socket had been under seats and was not used for its intended purpose. I was not able to remove it, the screws were very tight. So I left it in place and cut the floor board around it.
The leisure battery #1 is located behind the double seat on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
In the picture above the heater outlet can be seen. This outlet actually does work: when it is switched on, it produces warm air from the vehicle engine coolant which is led through it.
It is getting dark. The vertical post is attached to the floor board outside of the bus, then the board is carried into the bus and is attached to the floor railings. This is for the wall on the right-and side of the vehicle:
