I think there’s an unintended reality in the first part of the seller’s description. 😀

Folk get carried away thinking its easy to convert, all trades required, plumber spark trimmer chippy welder etc, hence many sold after it dawns on them that they have no mission of doing the jobs or the tools to do so.
 
I almost bought one about 15 years ago (Gateshead Council Mobile Library). They usually come with a lot of extras, like 240 volt systems, lots of batteries etc. The shape also lends itself to an easier conversion and there is a lot of external storage (at least on the one I was looking at.

It's not that hard, you managed it, so did I.

Probably easier to convert than a panel van as it's a lot more square, more room to manoeuvre inside and should already be lined and have some services fitted.

Not that much really Rob a childs compass is all you need to scribe the shape of anything that has to butt up to the walls.

My Renault Master extra high top was/is a mare Kev. Loads of stuff to scribe around and because the walls taper in putting high level cupboards is a pain in the arse. Putting a bulkhead on the Luton is pissing me off at the moment as is rebuilding the shower/toilet compartment - just getting the panels into the van and in position is a major operation.
