Price drop: Off-grid campervan - 2012 Ford Transit LWB High Roof

Off-grid campervan – 2012 Ford Transit LWB High Roof
£10,000 open to offers

Our unique off grid camper, Bryan, is looking for a new home. He has taken us on adventures all over the UK, Scotland many times, and from the UK to Lisbon and back as well as a tour of Ireland. He has served us well, but it is time for a new adventure for us and for him to continue with someone else.

We undertook the conversion ourselves using new and recycled materials, so we know how and where everything has been installed.

He has recently undergone a head gasket replacement and engine refurbishment with a new water pump, fuel filter, radiator and refurbished turbo. I have all the paperwork to go with this and its running like a dream. It also had two new batteries fitted (starter and auxiliary (separate to the leisure batteries)) in January 2024. It currently has 8 months left on the MOT, which is due in November.

I have serviced the vehicle myself annually and it has never done more than 10k miles in a single year since we owned it. Prior to the last MOT, I changed the front discs and pads, rear light clusters and the DPF fault that the van previously had has been fixed.
