HONEST NOTES
– The diesel heater hasn’t been used for a while, so it’s worth having someone check/service it before relying on it. It’s a combination air and water heater, but the water side still needs the pipes connecting – the van has its own separate water system, so this is only needed if you want hot water from the heater
– Leisure batteries are ~3 years old – they still hold charge but are nearing the end of their life, so budget for replacements if you plan heavy off-grid use
– The gas hob has no gas safety certificate
Comfortable extendable bed for two adults, with generous under-bed storage.
