The engine is a 2. 5 diesel non turbo on 78, 000 miles. This is the non power steering model.
There is an intermittent starting issue which you can work around using a wire that will be provided - it has never stopped us starting, and hasn’t been a priority to fix. It is caused by high resistance in the loom between the battery and the ignition barrel.
Sleeps 5. Everything works as it should and is in good condition. 3 way fridge, 3 hob gas burner oven and grill, sink with running hot water loads of storage.� The outside is tidy with no damage and all original with a pull out canopy. Underneath chassis is clean with no rot.
