Not-so-good bits
– The front bumper is faded slightly and some paint on the plastic trims is peeling off in places.
– There is damage to the wheel arch sill on the passenger’s side. This was there when we brought the van and hasn’t got any worse or caused any problems. For us, it isn’t worth the cost to have it repaired.
– The paint on one corner of the rear bumper is damaged after someone drove into it whilst parked. Again, it wasn’t worth the expense to get it repaired so its covered with stickers.
– The driver’s door intermittently doesn’t lock/unlock with the central locking so the key is required.

## Please bear in mind that the van is 20 years old so there are marks, dents, scratches and imperfections on the exterior but doesn’t affect it being the perfect off-grid campervan. It is mechanically sound for its age and has been well maintained.
The L-shaped seat easily pulls out to make the bed. The seat can comfortably hold 4 people. The bed is 190cm (6ft 2″) long and 100cm wide.
