Mercedes Sprinter camper conversions

I have a client who makes pretty good money as an interior designer. I've done some good work for her, she seems to think I'm a hot item (man, have I got her fooled), pics at bottom of a couple of large planters I built for her deck at her SF loft. 10' long, 3' wide, 22" tall, not counting feet.

She suggested I get into doing van conversions. Are apparently selling like hotcakes now. Said she'd invest in it, make it happen.

Have never even ridden in a Sprinter. Looks like the 144" wheelbase is the more popular, I'm guessing the 3.0 V6 diesel is the way to go. Some good kits available for conversion, would make it quicker, making all of that stuff from scratch would be time and $$ steep.

Anybody have any great advice for me?

She already had two smaller models of this planter, we copied the style, 2x10 PT wrapped with perforated steel sheeting, rusts into a lovely patina. Here's a cool optical effect, for those easily entertained anyway:
