The Midgie - Overland / Expedition Camper
Leyland DAF T244 with isolation shelter box (ex UK Military) is a brilliant choice of vehicle for the larger overland / Expedition truck
Already Registered as a camper we decided it really needed an update – however due to new work commitments this is a project still to complete.
The Daf has some superior benefits over newer more expensive base vehicles i. e. no ECU and simple mechanics
