Starts first time every time every time
She is reliable, beautiful and practical.
She is in good condition. I have maintained her throughout the time that I’ve had her. I would say the next owner must be prepared to look after her as she is a dame.
She doesn’t leak. She runs really well, she’s quirky and very comfortable.
There’s little cosmetic bits and bobs that need attention like the drawers on the bench seats need painting or decorating in someway and the cab area is still in its original state which is perfectly fine, but at some point might want sprucing up or adding to for example a whole bed could go up there if needed or extra storage made. On the outside the doors to the storage boxes need some attention. These things are all relatively simple and non-urgent. Mechanically and structurally she is solid.
This is a well sorted motorhome ready to go off grid or camp sites. I have lived in this vehiclefor the last 3 years and she has done me proud.
I’m asking the price I am because that’s basically how much money I’ve spent on her myself. I’m reluctant to see her go but I’ve had a change in circumstance.
Viewing is welcome, come and have a look .. i’m open to offers but nothing too crazy from my asking price
Please.
