Fiat Ducato
Selling my beloved ambulance conversion. Bought in July from someone whoโd already put in the electrics and done their own conversion, Iโve spent a few months making it into my own and living in it full-time, but now work is taking me to London and I canโt take it with me. The van is 11 years old and has done 240000 miles, but still runs remarkably well- has just passed its MOT after repairing brakes! Its many years as a service vehicle meant it was maintained to a high standard and so still has a lot of mileage in it.
Features:
2x 100w solar panels with MPPT controller;
2x brand new AGM leisure batteries;
Shower (needs finishing) with water heater;
No toilet but space to put one in shower;
Pull-out bed with custom mattresses and duvet cushions;
Brand new burner (with fire safety equipment);
Storage overhead (never fitted doors) and in boxes beneath bed.
Have spent a lot of money on this van both doing up the conversion and fixing mechanical / electrical issues, so not selling to make a profit. Rather just want to pass it on to someone who will love and make use of it, and relieve me of the burden of having it sat unused for weeks at a time.
But basically van is ready to go as a fulltime liveaboard or as a weekend camper!
Viewings in Buckfastleigh through my partner who knows the van inside out.
I converted this with the help of my partner. Neither of us are professionals and we used mainly scrap / second-hand materials for the build. The burner was put in brand new.
The reason the van is not registered as a campervan is because it’s still registered as a service vehicle from when it was an ambulance, and I never got round to fulfilling the specs to make it an official campervan (ie putting in an awning). This hasn’t been a problem for me though as I was still able to find motorhome insurance.
Sofa-bed sleeps one comfortably and pulls out to make a small double. Back cushion for when it’s a sofa becomes part of the double mattress when bed is pulled out.
The contact details for this vehicle are no longer available because it has either sold or the listing has expired.
