Vehicle History
The van spent the first 4 years of its life as lease vehicle covering motorway miles. The first 158k miles were completed in this time and it was regularly maintained and serviced. It was then bought by a gardener and used to carry garden tools and waste for the business in its local area before being sold to the previous owner who had intentions of converting the van. Used for a few small few trips covering only 2 thousand miles over 2 years of ownership. They didn’t convert it but simply attached a drive away awning to the side and put an Ikea sofa bed in the back.
I have owned the van since June 2022 and covered 5 thousand miles in the last 2 years. The van is really economical still achieving 45mpg on a run. The cruise control makes longer drives much more pleasant. We’ve been to Scotland, the Lake District, Devon, Cornwall and East Anglia.
The van had a new starter battery in March 24, windscreen motor replaced in June 24 and the rear brake callipers and handbrake cable replaced in June 23.
Vehicle Condition
For its age and mileage the bodywork is in good condition. A few stone chips on the bonnet area and wheel arched. Recently detailed and ceramic polished. Wheels reconditioned and sprayed black. Tyres have a good amount of tread on all wheels.
Overview
After renting a few vans from Quirky we decided to build a family campervan for our use but with the aim of renting it out when not in use to help cover the costs of owning the van. The spec of the van was to seat and sleep a family of 5 and be capable of being off grid for up to 5 days and be self sufficient even if it was cloudy and raining but with space and storage!
The van layout was inspired by Vanlife Conversions MILO layout and I sought out NOHMA Energy (formally NOMADIC) to design the electrical system. We wanted a large 5 berth van but without a fixed bed or a pot top. The solution was a lifting bed on pulleys that pulls up to the ceiling when not in use and gives ample headroom to sit under and then lowered into place when needed and a seating area that turns into a bed.

There is plenty of room underneath the double bed when it is raised. You can sit below it when the bed is lowered, just about. I’m 6’1 and in-between the supports I just about graze it.
The windows open and have bamboo window sills on all of them. There are 2 touch sensitive LED reading lights.
For the lifting bed, there is a LED light built into the ceiling fan above.
Both seat lids lift up and provide plenty of storage. The nearside seat houses all the electrics, the other is empty. We store our paddleboard and Porta Potti in here.

Electrics
The whole electrical system was designed by NOHMA energy with the brief that the van should be self sufficient for 5 days, off grid with no means of charging for a family of 5 with teenagers charging and running laptops and tablets etc. I have a PDF from them of the system overview and wiring instructions.

I had planned to make custom window covers so have excess of the yellow/gold material and blackout material which I will include. The Porrta Potti is also unused and included
Why am I selling it?
As most converters will attest, its taken a bit longer to finish than planned. I had hoped to get the sign off from Quirky and rent it but circumstances have changed and I now need to free up the money to put towards an extension. A very reluctant sale.
The van is priced to reflect the mileage and standard of conversion.
Sensible offers considered.
My phone signal isn’t great, please us WhatsApp if possible.

Please note: Quirky Campers do not inspect the listings for accuracy or check campervans in person. We have asked sellers to provide evidence of certificates and paperwork however you MUST check yourself that the information provided is present and correct. You will need to exercise the normal due diligence when buying any vehicle.
Quirky loves this style means that Quirky Campers would potentially approve this vehicle for hiring. However, Quirky have not approved a Gas Safe certificate, a Weighbridge certificate, or the vehicle's electrics. Buyers must check these themselves. For some tips on what to look out for read this. If the listing has no Gas Safe certificate, no unladen weight and no electrical sign-off please proceed with caution!
