Service history:
The timing belt was changed in Nov 2023.
Also, in Nov 2023, it has been fitted with brand-new Alloy Wheels 18 inch Gloss Black Load Rated + brand-new tyres.
In Aug 2024, Pumpkin has been fitted with a brand-new gearbox, when the mileage was around 125,000. A gearbox usually lives between 100,000 and 150,000, therefore you will have many years to enjoy the camper van, without even thinking of replacing it and in total safety. Pumpkin has just passed the MOT on March 7th 2025 and it has been serviced on the same day (Renew oil and filter and renew air filter). The MOT was due on May 25th but it has been anticipated by two months, in order to make things easier for the buyer. The next Road TAX is due on 1 Apr 2025.
With luxurious chocolate leather swivel seats, ultra-stylish swivel chairs, and a clever, airy design, Pumpkin offers everything you could want in a camper van and equipped for adventure.
Pumpkin is a fantastic camper van for families, couples, or solo adventurers, offering everything you need for on- or off-grid travel. He is deceptively spacious inside while keeping a compact exterior for easy travel. With a full getaway kit, including a new pop top, solar setup, and the comfort of a diesel heater, you can hit the road immediately and head off on your next adventure.
