VOLKSWAGEN LT35 158 TDI LWB 2.8l
Meet Our Beloved VW LT35 2.8 Off-Grid Campervan.
Open to sensible offers!
Lovingly built by myself for adventures with my wife and daughter,this van has been our home on wheels — warm, reliable, and completely self-sufficient. With a growing family (second child) and a move to sweden where we have been driving back and forth for the last couple of years with no problems we sadly need more seats, so its a sad choice for us to sell but this beauty is ready for its next chapter.
Refurbished to a very high standard, almost everything inside was newly fitted recently or last year. No expense has been spared when it comes to maintenance, repairs, or upgrades. The van has been fully serviced, meticulously cared for, and everything that needed replacing has been done. It runs beautifully and has passed its MOT in October with only one advisory and only done around 5000 miles since, there are mud and snow tyres allround with plenty of tred.
Powered by VW’s famously reliable 2.8L engine — known for its strength, simplicity, and long lifespan, it a cog-driven engine so no need for timing belt replacement — it’s a van that’s built to go the distance, im the second owner and it was stored inside until i bought it seven years ago, there’s never been a problem and it was undersealed from new, I had a new cluch and flywheel put in when I bought it and loads of other things replaced over the years.
No expense was spared when it came to maintenance and upkeep of this classic VW. It’s been fully serviced, everything that needed replacing has been done, including oil, oil filter diesel filter thermostat last year and coolant, new brake discs on the back and one new caliper and new bosh pads all round, spent £300 on replacing brake lines for the mot last year, new suspension including front spring, intercooler and steering column it recently passed its MOT and drives really nice, like a new van, dont be afraid of the mileage, these engines do 500,000 miles plus, so shes only warn inn 😉 please bring a mechanic if you want to inspect.

This campervan was lovingly designed and hand-built by myself for adventures with my wife and daughter. Every detail was carefully considered to balance off-grid capability, comfort, and durability. The conversion was completed to a very high standard, with almost everything inside newly fitted recently or last year.
The van is fully insulated using high-quality materials to ensure it stays warm in winter and cool in summer. It features a Windy Smithy wood-burning stove, making it cosy and comfortable for year-round use.
A spacious kitchen was built using lightweight, specialist caravan materials to maximise storage and minimise weight. It includes a large worktop, generous storage cupboards, and a 50L water container with a foot pump to conserve both water and power and new 12v pump for the shower, theres a 70L gray water tank underneath.
The electrical system is fully off-grid ready, with 400W of high-quality German Ecoteck solar panels with fussed cables a Victron MPPT Bluetooth controller, 140Ah marine gel battery, and a Victron 250W pure sine wave inverter. It’s professionally wired with heavy-duty cabling, all the correct fuses, isolators, and safety components, and designed to be easily upgradable in the future, you can also connect directly to 240 external power but plugging in.
The shower room was newly installed last year with a gas water heater fitted only one month ago, full-size shower tray, and a custom-built composting toilet there’s an adjustable speed dile for the air fan in the toilet so you can get it very quiet when sleeping— both brand new and unused. The living space includes a fixed double bed with a brand new unused memory foam mattress, a fold-down table, and a small comfy sofa that doubles a child’s bed.
There’s also a large rear ‘garage’ space that easily fits two mountain bikes and extra gear — perfect for active road trips, the skylights are dabble glassed so no condition and only one year old, the one above the bed is really nice to enjoy the trees and sky when relaxing on hollyday.
This conversion was built as a personal project with care, attention to detail, and high-quality components — ready for new owners to take it on their own adventures.
