Am I mistaken or did Stevie G do something along these lines once? He was gonna actually live in it, possibly. And maybe didn’t get further than plans. Anyway. A Berlingo sounds cozy. You should have a drone hatch in the roof, I reckon.

Did you take possession of the van? For proper project progress tracking, we need to see pictures of the virgin van, inside and out.

One discovery I have made is that the driver's seat can fold fully. I thought it was just the two passenger seats that folded. This gives a potentially longer bed area.

Ply lining. Common for vans over here to have a plywood lining protection. Especially if you're carrying messy stuff.

Are you going to rip it out, or just glue carpet on it? Also, isn't it illegal to block rear windows?

Not illegal, no requirement for back windows in the UK. Well, certainly not for vans.
But it's the first vehicle I've had without back windows, so I'm now looking into a rear camera linked to a rear view mirror screen.
The plan at the moment is to use some sort of insulation in the cavities (behind side wall ply), then bubble insulation it (like below), then carpet line. But will possibly make use of the ply somehow. Certainly want a solid base, but don't necessarily need the ply on the sides.
Carpet lining something like this - but maybe not the floor.

Solar panel ordered. 100w flexible unit. Feel like I've done nowhere near enough research but just going with it.
I'll get a leisure battery this weekend.

AGM lead acid.
Would love Lithium but way too expensive.

Still waiting for the solar panel. Should probably order some decent gauge cable for some interconnects.
