FORD FOREST VAN

I’m selling my 2008 Ford Transit T260, MWB, which I’ve absolutely loved, in order to fund a bigger vehicle conversion, so I can live in it full-time.

The van is a 2L diesel

Manual transmission

Reversing sensors

Payload: 3,000kg

Maximum weight/MAM: 3,500kg

240v mains hookup (cable included) with 16amp connection

2 x 110AH leisure batteries

3 ways of charging the batteries. Mains battery charger, split charge relay when driving and 175w solar panel with MPPT smart charger and isolator

1500/3000w surge pure sine wave inverter (2 sockets)

Control panel with USB sockets

Dometic CRX50 12v fridge

Fitted Dometic dual gas burner and integrated sink, with lids that close to provide additional counter space and act as a splash back when open. Gas signed off with Gas Safe Certificate

Battery operated carbon monoxide detector

Underslung LPG tank, allowing for more interior space

70L fresh water tank with Shurflo 45psi pump, filter, Fiamma expansion vessel

Bullfinch external shower point (with hot water)

Truma 4e combi heating and hot water system. 4kw heat output with 4 vents and hot water (which can be run from mains electric, LPG or a combination of both). Heating system can provide both hot air and cool air on hotter days. Hot water supplied to both the sink and the shower point, which is located just inside the rear doors

LED ceiling spotlights x 4

Roof vent with fly screen

2 x tinted windows. Right hand side sliding window above dual gas burner and sink. Fixed window on sliding door

Insulated floor, walls and ceiling with Knaufwool Earthwool, Celotex 25mm rigid foam board, and vapour barrier

Wood effect, wipe clean non slip flooring

Oak countertop with live edge wood storage. Underneath there’s a drawer lined with non slip mat. Under that is a double cupboard with more storage. There’s 2 shelves at the end of the kitchen area, as you first enter the van

Additional live edge shelving/storage on both of the rear doors

There’s storage above the cab area too, which currently houses a push in thermal blind for the sliding window and a magnetic thermal blind for the fixed window in the sliding door

Further storage can be found underneath the bench closest to the sliding door

Removable custom made mountain table

The bed is easily put together by popping in two supports, housed underneath the middle bench nearest to the rear doors. Pop the seat cushions on top, including an additional piece of foam that’s currently housed above the cab area

Decorated with a forest theme throughout, including a grass doormat, this van has been very well looked after and I’ve spent a huge amount of time trying to bring a natural feel to the inside of the van, so that inside feels like an extension of outside
