Detailed Information
Vehicle Description

ONO

Converted to an extremely high standard with all you need for holidays or even full time living – Daisy was my home for 2 years, including winters thanks to itโ€™s excellent insulation, highly effective diesel heater, separate indoor shower room with hot water, sink and toilet.

The van is registered as a motorhome with DVLA – most conversions now do not meet the new DVLA criteria, but as this has already been done you will have much cheaper insurance.

The van is a medium wheel base high top – an excellent and hard-to-come-by body type for a converted van. It feels light and roomy inside while keeping ease of parking and manoeuvrability (especially as it has reverse parking sensors), and the high top means you can comfortably stand to cook and shower without feeling cramped.

The van was undersealed by a previous owner and as such has only ever needed a couple of minor jobs to keep it rust free. Every mechanic who ever looks at the van always comments on what fantastic condition it is in. It drives beautifully and is noticeably quiet in comparison to many vans.

With plenty of storage space – accessible both from the outside and from inside thanks to clever bed design – and a bike rack for 2 bikes itโ€™s the perfect choice for anyone wanting to explore the outdoors, and even has an optional mounted beastmaker if you are looking for your dream van for climbing trips!

This beautiful van should give many more years of pleasure and good service. Now reluctantly for sale due to my move abroad – I hope the next owner will love and enjoy Daisy as much as Iโ€™ve done.
