DYI Custom Build estimate
I am trying to get an idea of how much I should plan to spend for a conversion (ballpark figure). I plan to buy a used high top long bed empty cargo van. I have a place I can do the work and the tools...

Very much ballpark, $10-15K plus the van for your 'build 1' option.
One thought... look around wrecking lots for a late-model totaled B, small C, or truck camper. Buy it complete or just the appliances. Reefer, cooktop, furnace, water heater, installed LP tank, maybe generator. These can easily set you back $3k to $6k bought new. There may be as much a another $1k in hardware & fittings in the wreck.
