2014 VAUXHALL VIVARO 2900 LWB SR CDTI 115, 1995CC Diesel, Manual
6 Speed Manual Gearbox.
Has been been fully serviced every year during MOT.
Only 2 owners (including me) was a British Gas fleet van before I converted it, so would have been looked after. As it was a works vehicle it has a 70mph limiter fitted.
Has stereo with Bluetooth, Also has a Pure Highway fitted which gives DAB radio functionality and hands free.
I have only needed to do minor maintenance on the van each MOT, brakes etc. Last year I had to replace the starter motor.
This van has never let us down. From research when I bought this van, the 2014 Vivaro is very reliable, having been the last year before they switched to the new design a lot of the quirks had been ironed out.
Has air-conditioning, but needs to be regassed. I find that the insulation is good enough that I haven’t needed the air conditioning.
Lovely hand built conversion. Bodywork and interior is in excellent condition and van is all complete and ready to go. No finishing touches required. We have been using this van for the last few years so everything is tried and tested.
Custom Cabinetry, all solid wood or furniture ply. Custom made upholstery using high quality fabrics.
Really great for a couple of family with 1 child. Has been designed and built with off-grid camping in mind. No need for Electronic Hook-Up and enough water to go 4-5 days without refilling. (Can go much longer if you are careful!)
In general I have left the cabinetry open to make it easy to squeeze in lots of equipment, such as tents folding camping chairs etc… There is a lot of storage space. I have made a couple of custom crates to fit under the sofa to take advantage of all the space under there. We typically would put all of our stuff in wooden crates (the ikea ones fit) and slide them under the back of the bed. You can then access these from inside the van or from the back doors. (Can’t do this with drawers!) The fridge is also removable so you can take it inside to fill clean etc…
