Do you have a block heater? I live at 6200' and without it being plugged in for a couple of hours my 7.3 van will not start. I have 3 bad glow plugs, I have just been waiting for winter to finally be over to change them all.
A good place to look at all kinds of layouts would be Pinterest. I have found a lot of ideas on there. Put van camping into your search. I am starting to work on a defender 110 van and have been getting good ideas on how i want to do the interior.

The van looks great I have been by it once or twice. Its getting a lot of exposure on the corner of that busy aisle.

Not really enough info. Is the axle factory? If so there should be a sticker on the drivers side door or body. That sticker will have letters and numbers there will be axle number/letter, google it and you should find gear ratio if there is no axle tag.
