Hi all, I am ready to start the interior on my van now and could do with advice on what order to do things in. I need to do the following: Leisure battery, hook up & internal wiring for lighting Build furniture / install furniture Door cards all round Head lining Buy / fix in place rock n roll bed Renew roof bellows and re-spray GRP roof inside and out Flooring Re spray dash
I would do it in the following order: Pop top Dash Roof lining Door cards/ electrics part way dependent on interior cabinets Flooring/bed dependent in if you want floor to go under bed Cabinets Finish electrics
Yes, like this. Consider lighting when doing roof lining and think about all 12V so the same lights run off the leisure battery and the mains converter.

I'd do as above, but depending upon on your intended layout, I'd figure out where you're cables will need to run to a from first, then install some conduit/tunking around the perimeter of the bare floor, then install insulation and sub-floor (ply or whatever) to accomodate the trunking...basically, you end up with a very easy way to install further electrical equipment in the future, without having to take units out....
If nothing's in the van makes easier fitting as no chance of scratching the new floor or slipping and ripping the new headliner, and it also depends where you want to take your headlining too. If Devon you'll want to do headliner before fitting roof as the brackets screw through it.
