Thank you for asking for my recommendation.
.
a)
I strongly recommend **NOT** using a computer to design your interior.
At best, you get a two-dimensional flat image with zero real-world concept of spacing, traffic, and most important, interference.
At worst, you waste precious moments you could be outside playing.
.
I see computer design of a rig interior as a delay mechanism, that 'if I just practice enough, nothing can go wrong'.
.
Instead, toss in some car-camping gear, go have fun.
Allow the conversion to evolve organically.
Allow the adventure to sculpt your interior.
.
I see a severe flaw in designing, then building, then using -- you tend to force the adventure to fit the rig.
In my experience, that is the reverse of practical.
.
b)
My advice:
* Avoid believing 'this rig is my forever rig'.
You change and grow, your vehicle needs evolve.
.
This comes from a half-century of full-time live-aboard in a wide variety of vehicles -- busses, vans, semi-trailer and semi-truck conversions.
And we fuss-about on boats.
.
My recommendation:
* On a big visual -- a handy chalk-board, although we like brown paper grocery bags -- scribble your RequirementsStatement.
Scribble your intended camp-spots, your routes, your travel companions.
Scribble your meals and menus.
Scribble your skills and work-space and tools.
Scribble your intended time to completion, your available time to saw and drill and weld and bust stuff out for a do-over.
.
That list and that schedule can seem overwhelming...
...so, take some time away, toss in some car-camping gear, go clear your mind.
.
Or, alternatively, you could start with the fun.
I know my choice!
