We've just come back from 3 months travelling around Belgium/ Holland/ Germany/ Poland/ Lithuania
Slovakia/ Hungary/ Croatia/ Slovenia/ Austria and France - and the van did great.
I never take it much over 50mph - economy and safety really.
Most of the bodywork is basically sound but there are a couple of issues around the drivers
door and to a lesser degree, the passenger door.
Also there are a number of small superficial spots where the paint is peeling off here and there. (The van was originally blue but was painted green by hand (and roller) by the previous owner)
The side door only locks from the inside and the passenger door won't open from the outside.
Driver's door is fine. I'm sure the door locking issues are fixable to some one with the time. I'm not sure how many owners it has had tbh - it is MOT exempt and I have some service history. I bought it in 2019 from an acquaintance in Pembrokshire, Wales.
It really is a beautiful internal conversion and it has the official status as a Motorhome... quite tricky to get for conversions these days I understand.
It's quite heart breaking selling it really as we've had such an amazing time in it (Spain and Portugal before
lockdown) but we're not going to be travelling probably until 2024 now so it would be such
a waste just sitting somewhere, rusting away.
