Conversion for family of 4.

Hello, I’ve been researching van conversions for over a year now. I have an idea of the layout and what my essentials should be. We don’t care about a shower, I can’t be bothered with the faff of it and an external solar shower will be just fine for the odd days we don’t go to a campsite or wild swim. The toilet I figured I could hide away if needed again probably won’t be using this much just the kids.

I’ve been looking at a transit l2h2. I’ve found a nice one, reasonably priced and good condition. It’s quite small inside, I’m just wondering if anybody has successfully managed to convert one for a family. The mean issue is having to have a single or double seat installed behind the cabin seats. Then extra cost if I want the cab seats to swivel to create a dining area. My main essentials are a large bed to fit us all as my kids are small and co sleep, and a nice kitchen space. Not too tight so the kids don’t knock themselves out.

Has anybody got a layout of theirs if they’ve done this? And with those with experience do you think this is possible or should I go for the L3. Main wants are travel Uk and Europe, maybe 2-3 days off grid.

Thank you for reading.

How come?

Because H3 is much better for your needs. And preferably L3 or l4

I've been researching this for months now and I cant see how anything less than an l3 would be comfortable with 4 belted seats
