Here's my van, use it for work as well as for the odd weekend camping. removable cooker and sink unit that i put in the awning, and double bed in the back of the van. Basic, but works well for me.

The electrics on mine are 2x85hr batteries under the front seats, then the 12v & 240v for on site are wired into the zig unit when driving using various switches on the zig so it charges the on board batteries then change a switch and it runs off the batteries on the camper and if the 240 is pluged in it runs from that & charges the batteries, all in all the zig is ok but the charger gets very hot and I had to build a fan into its enclosure to get rid of the heat, and the manual explaining the various switch positions is rubbish. I have a 12v compressor fridge, quite a bit of lighting, water pump and propex fan and we have had no problems with a few days use running the batteries down, I also have it wired with a rotary switch so that when off site the 240 sockets can run via an inverter, but I need to still finish that off :)
