The History and Paperwork
- V5 Present
- Same owner since 2012
- MOT until August
- Previous MOTs from the current ownership
- A selection of invoices from the current ownership covering regular servicing MOTs and repairs as necessary
- Haynes manual
- A copy of The Campervan Bible by Martin Dorey in which it is featured
The Interior
- Good condition throughout
- New carpeting applied to the walls of the living area
- Cooker and fridge are both clean and functional (fridge works on mains and gas)
- 240v outlet sockets
- The cab presents well with everything functioning except for the temperature gauge due to a faulty sensor - a replacement is included with the van
- One of the skylights is held shut with tape to prevent it opening when driving
The two skylights combined with the large rear and side windows make the living quarters feel bright and open, whilst the cupboards provide plenty of storage space.
The cushions are in very good condition along with the carpets and the cupboards, and the interior presents well overall. The rear seats are comfortable and convert into a double bed and there is an additional above the cabin bed up front.
