Detailed Information
Vehicle Description

7.2 litre caterpillar C7 diesel engine, Allison Automatic transmission with Cruise Control, LGV licence required

The vehicle was originally used by Oklahoma School district up until July 201 8, we purchased it in Aug 2018 and it was imported into UK in Nov 2018. The vehicle was shot blasted and re painted and rewired for UK lighting regs, fully inspected and successfully registered as UK vehicle in April 2019.

Under our ownership Skooby has travelled throughout Europe and she has been shipped across to Halifax NS where she travelled across the continent of North America and down to Mexico and back. Skooby arrived back in the UK in June and has an MOT till 25th June 2025

Conversion Description

Skooby has been designed as an off grid live-aboard motorhome for a family of 4 and was professionally converted in 2019. Would function perfectly as a small home and could also be a very lucrative Air BnB investment.

She has 1.26 KW of solar panels feeding 760 amp AWG leisure batteries, an underslung refillable LPG tank, a 400 litre water tank and a composting toilet

Skooby is fully winterised , with 30 cm insulation in the floor walls and ceiling and internal aluminium secondary glazing, she benefits from both LPG and electric heating as well as a woodburning stove. There is also an AC unit fitted for those hot summer months too.

There is a fully usable bespoke kitchen complete with lots of storage, glass worktops and designer backsplash, an LPG oven and hob, a microwave, a full size fridge and a separate full size freezer.

The rear bedroom area features two individual 6’6″ bunks each with their own TV/DVD player with ample drawer storage underneath and a king size double bed with wardrobe storage. The ensuite consists of a composting toilet, vanity unit and illuminated mirror and a separate laundry cupboard houses a full size washer /dryer.

The front living area comprises of two three seater sofas which could easily be converted to a pull out double bed, the rear two belted passenger seats fold flat to house table tops. The front belted passenger seat can be turned around to face in to the living area when parked up. There is also a drop down TV/DVD player and apple play DAB radio. There are black-out blinds fitted to all of the windows and insulated curtains for the entrance door.

The outside of Skooby has 4 lockers a large rear garage space, and a full length roof rack. The right hand side front locker houses a pull out Weber BBQ grill for external cooking. External flaps are provided for shore power and water fill point.

For Security there is a remote controlled electric security shutter on the front door, heavy duty padlock for the rear door and combination locks on all lockers. The vehicle is also fitted with a Global Tracking device (Subscription required)

The DVLA registration is still listed as a bus due to Skooby’s external appearance, although this has had no effect on our motor insurance either in the UK or whilst abroad. You require an LGV licence to drive it but we are happy to deliver it around the UK if required.
