Yes I have finally decided that camping on the cooooold Irish coast while waiting for the next swell and session to hit has had its day! I recently purchased a LWB Mercedes Sprinter van and intend, over the next few months, to turn it into a comfortable camper.

Gutting the inside....how bad is the rust?
The van was in pretty good condition when I got it...with very little extreior rust at all. I stripped out all the wall and floor ply and examined the base and walls for rust...and again surprisingly very little, however there was shed loads of dirt that had accumulated under the mats at the front and around the wheel wells.
Having cleaned all the dirt out of the vanand sanding down a few rusty parts and then waxoiled the whole inside of the van, primaily along the joining lines of all the metal supports.
