What an awful situation.....
Thank you for the financial info about paying for these works with Credit card or debit card.... And NOT Bacs.
I've mainly paid suppliers via BACS on my camper in the past, so a lesson to be learned here.
"The bank is also not able to help unless it was paid via credit card or debit payment. Unfortunately for us and other customers we've spoken to we used bank transfer which doesn't have any protection.
A warning to others, avoid bank transfer and use a credit card or at least a debit card payment instead. At least the bank will help recover money"

Debit card doesn’t give you protection it must be a credit card. Debit card works the same as BACS.
Noted - so ONLY credit card for financial protection?
So wiring and windows are 2 biggish jobs. Speak to West dubs directly and see if they have a local fitter who will fit the roof. There might be a cost saving as the hole is already cut. They will finish the carpet as part of the roof fitting.
Then you can start using it. As someone said grab a second hand rib or rock n roll bed and fit it and you're good to go. You can do all the other jobs yourself with the help of the forum. I'd never done a conversion and the only thing I didn't do myself was the poptop. The rest is easy.
Do it in stages as you get a bit of cash. look for secondhand units. @Badjamin previously got a good deal and ended uo with a cracking DIY conversion. It can be done. Have faith and don't be too disheartened. You've still got the van, once the roof is on it's all plain sailing.
There might even be a forum member local to you who will give you a hand if you are stuck.
