The van is generally in great shape – the engine is perfect and the conversion is as good as new – it’s just the exterior damage was deemed uneconomical to repair (as the interior would have to be completely ripped out) and so the van was written off as a Category S.
Rio is a 2014 reg, has only 67K miles, and is based in North-west London. Rio is currently listed with Quirky Campers and has just enjoyed a great summer of rentals, with over £12,000 of completed bookings.
The van itself has a couple of minor maintenance issues (exc. damage seen in photos):
– 1 key fob not working
– Rear numberplate light not working
– Needs new spare wheel cradle and new spare wheel
