How to convert a transit van into a camper?

I bought a used 2016 Ford Transit last week. It has a lot of miles and a few dents but it runs fine. The inside is empty though-no seats, no floor, no panels. I’ve never built anything like this so any beginner tips or mistakes to avoid would really help :) I cleaned it out and now I’m stuck on what to do first.

For the floor, do I need multiple layers or can I keep it basic and still be comfortable? I want something easy to clean for beach trips that won’t warp. Then for the bed, I already have a full size mattress but I want storage underneath but nothing fancy. Is a basic platform fine?

For the power, since I only need lights, charging, a small fan, and a laptop, can I start with a portable power station or should I do wiring right away?

Hope anyone can help this newbie out
