Fully off grid cosy cottage on wheels

The story of Puff:
I bought Puff, otherwise known as Puff the Magic Wagon 2 years ago. I lived in her full time off grid. Hardly ever plugged her in as the solar panels normally gave me full charge and if I needed more, then I went for a drive.
She was converted by Keiran and Alice who also lived in her for 2 years and travelled around in her doing YouTube videos. You can find them on YouTube and see all their travels. I took puff through France and into Spain and Morocco every winter and had a brilliant time. She drives beautifully and I have never had any problems with her. I’ve looked after her mechanically and although there are a few things internally that need sorting, they are not hard or expensive things to do.
The reason I am selling her is that I have started a new chapter and don’t want to use her for just the odd weekend travels. I am going more tent trips now! Puff would make the perfect full time or weekend van for a single person or couple. She has brought me much happiness over the years and has looked after me well. I will be very sad to see her go but know that she will bring her next owners a wonderful experience of van life travels to other countries around the world.
Puff is a cosy cottage on wheels. She is full of colour but also easily changeable as everything is wood so can be painted.

Mileage:

(I bought her at 185000 – she will keep going for a lot more – she is a Mercedes!)

I do have a Trelino compost toilet which has been used once! I would ideally like to keep this for my future tent trips but also happy to include in sale if price is right.

Cab:
3 seats
reversing camera
usb ports and extra in glove compartment
There is a Kenwood in car audio system with Apple CarPlay that needs to go in. I bought this a few months ago and haven’t had time to fit it. It is is brand new and has all the bits included. Just needs someone with a brain to install it.

Engine and Exterior:
New ROGUE ALLOYS and new ALL TERRAIN tyres included. I spent quite a bit on these and they are just brilliant.
I had extra leaves put on the back to raise her up so she has three on back and 2 on the front.
MOT until May 2025
Has been well looked after by me for the past 2 years. I have taken her to Russel at VANTECH in Fareham for all servicing, MOT’s and anything else that needs doing. They are Mercedes specialist. Russel knows her inside out and will happily speak to anyone about the van if interested. I have all service records from my time with her and all receipts from any work done by the previous owners too.
A few rust spots but nothing out of the ordinary and quite standard for a Mercedes sprinter!
Large flower drawing on the side which I did myself that I thought would wash off with the rain but hasn’t. Easy to paint over. I wanted to get a full paint job done in Morocco but sadly didn’t have the time.
