We bought our current [and first] van for many reaons, but the spacious, trnaverse loo and shower room at the back of it, that had its own door to close it oof, was certainly a selling point. That said, we've only used the shower on a handful of occasions - my wife likes the space and facilities offered by campsite showers. We both find that the chore of keeping the shower room clean when we use it can be off-putting too. That said, I wouldn't buy a van that had no shower! May be contrary, but I like the feeling of being self-contained, even if I rarely make use of it. That feeling is what motorhoming is about, for me, and despite it being irrational, I suspect I'm not alone. A loo is an absolute essential, by the way .

Thank you all, wise words indeed, very enlightening. Yes ericaonabike, I reckon your view will also be many folks views on a shower, whether they use it or not.
However, I'm getting a feeling that I should really only go ahead with this project for me, i.e. that I'm going to use it, and I'm not sure I really will. My reasons for doing this were not to get rich out of it! but likewise there are maybe other things I can do as a project where I have a bit more certainty that I won't lose money (kit cars, restoration). As I said in my OP, this is something to do next year so lots of time to think it through.
I'm now drawn to bigger vans, with shower and toilet, awning, permanent bed, 2 seats. And now I've got other models to consider in addition to the the Iveco Daily, thank you. And if I do decide to do this, I'm thinking older couples, doing longer trips (longer away from home, not miles), rather than families as a possible market if we don't use it ourselves.
