The key thing is keeping the weight down,not only for fuel consumption,but if you pull off the side of a road you could sink up to your axles.
We did an old transit in the 1970's,used wood as thin as we dare,inside the van was for tackle storage(under the beds) and sleeping.We got an awning for the toilet/cooking  and all of that was light weight camping stuff.
Depends on if it's for family use or just for wild camping.

I was looking at converting the transit when it's past it's best for work but kindof canned the idea.

These should give you some ideas though.

Have a google, I think there's a conversion forum with loads of pics.
