American camper vans have become part of popular iconography, thanks to TV series such as The A-Team, in which the titular characters travelled in a black GMC van with a red slash. These vans allow you to cruise in remarkable comfort, thanks to real velvet or leather armchairs, most of which recline and have armrests. As these leisure vehicles have risen in popularity, many equipment manufacturers have reworked the bodywork to enlarge the windows with large bays, flooding the interior with light and offering passengers a wide panoramic view.
Contempo is an American company that specialises in converting these vans. This one has been fitted out like a motorhome, with a kitchenette, sink, a gas hob and fridge, a velvet-upholstered sofa that converts into a double bed, and a pop-up roof that allows you to stand upright. All the facilities are operational. Electricity is generated by means of a dual battery with a 220V converter. It is also fully equipped with its original mosquito nets. It's powered by a classic 4. 7L V8 engine that produces an enchanting soundscape. Its charm lies in its original condition and the divine American flavour it exudes! Its current owner had it imported at the beginning of last year, however, having acquired another motorhome in our most recent sale, he is unable to keep hold of this one. Its collector's registration card states that it can seat five passengers. This converted van will be your new partner, allowing you to hit the road in admirable comfort on your next holiday, adventure
