‘Big Gaz’ Ford Transit - 12 Months MOT

Very sad sale of our camper van, affectionately known as ‘Big Gaz’. We’ve had lots of fun with him, including a 9 week road trip around Europe last year and 2.5 weeks around France this year, along with numerous weekends away. He’s never caused us any problems during our travels and is ready to go on new adventures.

Van specs
Big Gaz is a 2008 high top, mid length Ford Transit. It’s been the perfect size for us – we can stand up in it comfortably (and my partner is 6ft3) and it’s just the right size to fit into a regular parking space. It is also fitted with reverse parking sensors.

Living Area
– Insulated and wood panelled
– Large under bed storage/garage area
– Storage cupboard over the bed
– Over-cab storage area
– Dometic two-burner gas hob and sink combination with glass lid
– Gas bottle in ventilated chamber
– 12V electric submersion water pump supplying sink
– 25L clean water (plus additional 25L spare container) and 20L grey water storage. We found we could do 3-4 days wild camping before needing to refresh at a campsite/service area
– Space under the sink for an electric fridge/cool box
– Built in LED lights
– Thetford Porta Potti Toilet (which we luckily have never had to use!)
– Autoterm diesel heater with dedicated diesel container and controller
– USB charging ports and a 12V socket
– Roof vents with electric fan

Electrical system
– 200W German cell solar panel
– 12V 150ah Expedition Plus Agm Deep Cycle Leisure Battery
– Epever 20A MPPT solar charge controller
– Epever remote meter MT50

The leisure battery was replaced September 2025, so is less than a year old. We’ve done a lot of other work to the van including just under £2k worth of welding on the bottom of the van and a few other replacements of engine parts. We’ve had the van serviced every year since we bought it in late 2024, with the latest service being in April this year. There were a few advisories on the last MOT but we were advised by the garage that none needed to be actioned as of now.

We also have a few other items that you’re welcome to buy in conjunction with the van:
– Dash cam
– Wheel lock
– Solar shower
– Breakdown kit (high vis jackets, reflective triangle)
– Alcosense French breathalyser tests
– First aid kit
– Garmin Drive 50 sat nav
– Spare fuel canister
– 12V Multifunctional air compressor
– Tubeless tyre repair kit
– 2L engine oil

We’re based in London, contact number is 07570893950. Very happy to answer any questions you might have and arrange a time to show you around the van. The van will be sold with 12 months MOT.
