Re: Best Units for Building your own Interior?
Wodburners have been mentioned before, but personally I think that these are far too small to fit one into.
There's lots of photos in the garage sectio for ideas on interiors and some Westy-type plans in the wiki if you want to have a starting point

The Wood burner i was looking at was a tiny gas bottle conversion was going to fit in behind drivers seat with a fire board suround, we have a little fan heater at the minute but doesnt kick of much heat and no good for wild camp. Cheers Kev ill check out ikea pains me to do so because i hate shopping there like a maze i avoid at all costs...but for the Dub ill make an exception.

Re: Best Units for Building your own Interior?
All the above considerations for woodburner, plus the fact you will just get too hot
I lived in a caravan in North Yorkshire years ago, with one in (made from a gas bottle), also had an old Bedford bus with a lerge one fitted in it back in the mid 80's.... It's a lovely idea but not practical in such a small vehicle in my opinion.
