Vauxhall Combo conversion

My main goal is to create a camper that can sleep 2 people and carry 2 peoples kayaks, bikes and all the kit anywhere comfortably. With all the comforts you would get at home (ish).

This is my first ever conversion and a lot of my ideas came from forums and pictures so i thought i would share the knowledge. Please feel free to contact me if i haven't explained anything or you would like to know more detail.

UPDATE: I need to take some pictures but have added insulation to the roof in the form of roll mats which had made this winter a bit more bearable. Didnt know where to put this, so thought id just update. Im hoping to get a stove for Christmas so will be adding a stove, and a custom made thin sink (converted bread tin) to the van to add a mini kitchen. I will be covering the walls in the new year with carpet. I will also be looking to add a mini fridge if anyone can suggest one?
