I bought a Ford Transit Custom panel van, and converted it into a camper day van, with enough solar power to charge my ebike/drone/phone/beer fridge while I'm away on biking trips.
It's my first time doing a van conversion. It was great having a small project to do, and massive thanks to everyone that helped me out. YouTube's a superb source of information, I used it loads when I was looking at options. If you're doing one, I hope this video helps in some way.
Ps, for the interior light that drained the battery, I just ended up taking bulb out sorted :)
