Quite nippy and averages out about 30 MPG over the week / has been my daily driver for the last two months whilst I’ve been converting.
Starts and drives well with no known mechanical issues. Gearbox and clutch healthy with no crunches etc and engine is quite powerful and hasn’t let me down in my ownership.
I’ve receipts for £1200 for recent preventative service work such as oil service, four new glow plugs, new leaf spring, new oil sump, brake sensors and full diagnostic (which returned no faults). I’ve also invested financially into the bodywork, the whole of the left side (passenger) is pretty much faultless and in excellent condition, the right side is good, but has some scratches and a couple of black spots (which are small areas of treated rust, that have become solid metal again thus no rust). The back doors have 2-3 small dents also. The whole vehicle has had a professional mop to restore and polish the original paintwork and looks great.
The conversion is brand new and never been used apart from a few scheduled days to test functionality.
It’s an off-grid campervan with a range of features to accommodate an unplugged life when required.
320w Monocrystalline Solar Panel — Premium Range with 19.19% Cell Efficiency — linked up to a Renology 30a MPPT control module.
Split Charge Relay for charging battery when driving.
The Leisure battery is a Varta LFD140: vented with an escape vent in the floor (there is plenty of room to either double up batteries or upgrade to something bigger and more powerful of which I can order and fit for the prospective buyer if they have higher energy needs.
USB charge points / four individual LED lights for each corner of the van.
1000W remote controlled inverter for 230v energy (ie, stuff you want to plug in).
40litre 12v/230v Fridge with lockable door
Shurflo water pump / pressure switch connected to an onboard 25litre cold water supply
2-ring Glass domino gas hob (connected to small gas bottle -which is also vented with an escape vent)
Digital carbon monoxide meter/alarm
Fire extinguisher
Two-door kitchen unit with overhead shelf made from reclaimed wood
Lots of hooks and handy things
The two benches can comfortably sleep 4 people on each if required and offer a stunning view out of the rear tinted back windows. A flexible American Oak table top satisfies various uses being that it’s fixed onto a double-adjustable arm and can also be easily removed and stowed away.
The benches can be used for storage and lift up on gas struts. Inside one are fastened the middle section which drops between the benches to form a base for converting into a large double bed (using the back rest).
There’s more storage overhead in handy throw-it-in-and-forget cubby holes and also a huge storage space above the cab. The cab can be accessed if required from the back as I have left a small space to get through, but this requires some flexibility. The stealthy feel has been thought about and it doesn’t look like a camper and the black curtains at the back protect privacy as does the part-bulkhead between the cab. It’s possible to be in the back at night and give off no light.
This is most suitable for a solo traveller or couple, either escape wagon or full-time living as it offers a good balance between size and space, comfort and privacy.
Two singles or join them up into one large double, which could easily sleep 3-4. Takes two minutes to assemble/disassemble double bed.
Singles sleeping length fine for people 5ft 10in and under, if taller then the double bed due to its 5ft 5in width allows diagonal sleeping to accommodate those 6ft and over.
