Volkswagen Caddy Maxi
We’re selling our much loved self converted camper van. This has been a real labour of love and is perfect for a couple who want to get out and about, whether that’s stealth camping, offgrid weekends, or relaxed road trips.
The van was fully converted by me, using high quality materials and a lot of care and attention to detail. It’s practical, cosy, reliable, and ready to go.
