Privacy windows cover the rear 2/3rds of the vehicle.

The vehicle is mostly in very good clean condition. There are a small number of dings and scratches on the exterior paintwork commensurate with age of vehicle. Also some scrapes to plastic surrounds in the boot space (inflicted by previous owners, not me!).
Timing belt replaced just prior to original purchase. Full 70,000 mile service undertaken in Feb 2025.
The vehicle was professionally converted to be a ‘microcamper’ by Southwest Microcampers of Devon. Many of the accessory components were produced by Peak Van Conversions (check out their Adventurer Multi unit over at http://peakvanconversions.weebly.com)
Seating/sleeping platform constructed from good quality 9mm birch plywood.
Quality 10cm seating/sleeping pads made by Peak Van Conversions
Sleeping area can be set up either for double or single-person use. In the latter case the ‘spare’ side can be used as a seating area or for bike storage.
Quality fabric blackout blinds (with suction cups) for all windows. These are also made by Peak Van Conversions.
Fiamma table top and leg.
Fiamma tripod base for using the table outside of the van.
Removable cooker box with slide-out cutlery drawer.
Good quality Thetford Topline 922 2-ring gas burner, with quick-release connection hose.
Campingaz 1.8kg butane gas cylinder (volume of gas remaining unknown but likely several hours, if not days, worth!)
Additional small table with extendable leg slots into end of the cooker box (very handy for putting utensils on while cooking!)
240V mains electric hook-up points inside and out.
10m extension lead for campsite hookup. Continental adapter also included.
3-way plug adapter with 2 USB sockets.
12L water container with integral hand pump.
High quality 2m x 2m pull-out side awning manufactured by Direct4x4. Includes guide ropes and pegs, though these are not essential in calm conditions. The awning can be readily removed from the vehicle (as per photos) if it’s not going to be needed for a duration (e.g. over winter).
The entire wooden box work can be unscrewed and removed if it was desired to revert the vehicle – perhaps temporarily – to its standard seats-plus-bootspace configuration.
Good quality 10cm thick seating/sleeping pads made by Peak Van Conversions (cost c£475 new)
