Definitely a good idea to use it before converting it
I spent some time on interior layout last year when I started looking for a replacement for the old van. This week has highlighted the importance of having space to pull out containers to rummage in them, and the usefulness of not having to dismantle bikes to load them after a ride.
Congrats! Definitely a good idea to use it before converting it - you'll figure out how you want to use the van and also make sure you've got a good base vehicle. Likely the DAB is just a loose / broken aerial. Lots of how-to's and examples on youtube for inspiration for your conversion.
In other news I cleaned the interior of my van! It looks amazing again. This month it was time for the annual weekend of fiddling around with little fixes and improvements as the bus failed its MOT (non functioning fog light and intermittent rear number plate lights). Both common faults with relatively easy (but not obvious) fixes. I've added a second set of brake/reversing lights where the bumper reflectors were, replaced a failed rear view camera and added an inline booster for the FM radio aerial.
Can't wait to get out in it now the sun is shining.
Happy travels everyone
