Would echo what others have said about the gas appliances.....

Is it a factory built conversion or a self-build?..because it it's the former, it'll be the "converter" that you will sometimes  need to be "searching" under(rather than just "Transit campervan")..

Unless you desperately require the space, I would hold back on getting an awning to start with..and just wait to see how you end up using the van..

Our first van was a Transit hi top(A/S Duetto) and within the first few months we had bought a Movelite drive-away awning(never used in anger), a caravan porch awning(cheap and used quite a lot, IF "staying put") and an EasiCanopy tarp(very handy for quick shelter)..and had a Fiamma windout (biggest waste of out money ever!!).

you could try something like this
coupled with a wind break...simple to set up and gives a bit more space

Yes, I'd agree with that(..as our Easicanopy can be a bit big and flappy sometimes!)..

Although not always easy to store/lug about, we also use one of the Quechua base tents(used along with a tarp/canopy).

(.we usually use this type of set-up on our Hiace "camping van"..)

Just a pity we didn't  get one a few years back, when they were on offer at £29.99 though..!!
