Cheapest option would be buy a kit designed for tents.

Comes complete with lead and sockets.

If you want proper sockets around the van you will need a circuit breaker, sockets, cable, Hookup lead.

If adding a battery you will also need a charger.

If you have no knowledge of service history of caravan or
age of tyres, fit new ones & take it a caravan service
place for a chassis service, about £80.
