Van - camper conversion - petrol stoves
Hi folks,
Not strictly 4WD, I know, but until we get a 2WD forum...!
I'm planning to buy a Citroen Dispatch van to convert into a small camper and will no doubt be back for more tips on camper conversions. I want to keep it as simple as possible - just a couch that folds down into a double bed and a small 'kitchen' unit which will just be a few cupboards with a double burner screwed to the top and a small fold out table. No fridge, no sink (just a plastic basin) etc.
I'm not conviced I need a second battery set up and am thinking about a Coleman patrol lantern for light:

A coleman petrol double burner for cooking:

And one of these wind driven extractors for ventilation:

The advantage being I can get unleaded petrol anywhere and they cost peanuts to run (I have a single burner Coleman 533 for bike travel, its great). I wonder if anyone has experience of this sort of set up and if they think this ventilation will be enough.
I'm a camper newby so entirely ignorant of what issues might arise.
Cheers,
Matt
