We drove to the south of Spain and back in early 2024 with the only issue being a flat tyre. Has been well loved and we have spent a fair bit of money getting her into good shape mechanically. We have kept receipts of all work done and have had no issues for the past year. Some rust here and there and some damage to the plastic dash but this has been reflected in the price and given the age of the vehicle is overall in good nic. With plenty of character and little quirks, we’d love for its new owner to give it as much love as we have, and enjoy many more adventures.
Was bought already converted, using caravan units. Previous owners had the roof cladded by a professional carpenter but there has since been some slight splitting of the wood due to the heat of Spain. They also had the electrics checked and solar panels fitted by professional electrician. Plenty of storage in shelves, cupboards, draw and more storage inside the benches. Extra external storage available with roof box and roof rack: we treated this as our garage with awning and outdoor equipment in. My girlfriend and I lived and travelled in the van for 4 months and my girlfriend lived in it for a further 4 whilst working a festival season. The fridge is in working order and there is an almost full bottle of gas that would be yours to have along with the van.
Can either be slept in width ways or length ways mainly depending on height. Table and bench seats make up the bed as seen in pictures – table sinks down and bench cushions slide across, additional small folding table with cushions make up the end of the bed. Sleeps my girlfirend and I very comfortably length ways, I’m 6ft and she’s 5″7.
