[Closed] Anyone here kitted out a van and driven across europe/ the world?

Ever since i saw [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-vw-t4-camper-conversion-ideal-for-mtb ]this[/url] all i can think about is finishing my last year at uni while saving up some cash, getting a van similar but not as nice as the T4 and sodding off, see how far i get.
Anyone ever done this? any usefull tips on whats essential to have in the van etc? And whats a good van ie reliable/big enough for me+bike or maybe 2+2bikes/not massively expensive?
Naturally i will be taking the bike and stopping for trails as often as poss, so again any countries to be recommended?
Its just a crazy dream at the minute but i reckon with bit of planning and cash its do-able.
