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...

In my opinion no matter what is done will be Jerry Rigged. Between your time and 15-20K plus the van that no one on earth will purchase when you're done with it - I would just buy something used.
Here's an example; I bought a Huge class A 7 years old with 17K miles on it ( not a typo really 17K miles ) and I only paid 17K for it. I drove it for years and sold it for 25K.
So go buy a used something that fits your needs for less that the van and conversion. It's cheaper to fix a few things on a used anything that convert. The plumbing and electrical will make you go crazy - not worth it.
Right now I searched CL and found plenty of great buys for less than a conversion.
Here's an example
CHEAP RV
I think I might start out with a very small van and see if I actually do what I say I am going to do and then upgrade later.
