Clive is in great condition inside and out. One minor scrape on the drivers side rear wheel arch, and a slightly cracked reflector above the back doors (probably some dodgy reversing from me). Drives really nicely, very nippy and good on MPG for a van of this size. Also fits in regular parking bays and under most height barriers which is very handy!
This is a basic but very versatile conversion, perfect for a few days away or a longer trip – whatever you fancy!
Fully insulated, clad, carpet lined in places (conversion was started by professionals before I owned it – I just added the bed and the wheel arch box). All electrics, insulation, vent, windows etc done by professionals.
Extendable bed which slides out from a comfy sofa (memory foam cushions) to a small double in seconds. Plenty of storage underneath the bed, as well as at the end behind the driver and passenger seats.
Handy wheel-arch box (homemade) makes for a great table for cups of tea, snacks, or a phone/tablet to rest on. Lino floor is very easy to keep clean, lovely wood panelling on doors, plain wooden walls ready to be customised!
Blackout curtain between cab and cargo area – means you can hop through to the front easily and get plenty of light into the van. Side windows with blackout curtains good for privacy. Simple manual air vent to keep the van fresh and ventilated.
Basic 12V electrical set up – split charge relay charges leisure battery under passenger seat. This powers USB plugs, a 12V cigarette lighter, and the LED lights in the ceiling. Van also installed with 240V direct hook-up for campsite stays – internal 240V plug was disconnected from the bulkhead when I removed it, it still works but could be secured or moved if wanted.
This van is perfect for hiking trips, weekends away, even parking up on a mates drive as it’s pretty stealthy! Fits in dinky little parking spaces and handles narrow lanes like a pro. Sad to see him go, but he’s not getting the use he could be and I’d love someone to make the most of such a versatile little camper!
Please message with any questions – open to offers! 
Slide out sofa bed (DIY) – very sturdy and can support two adults (plus one medium-sized dog). Bed can pull out to the full width of the van, although the cushions are a bit smaller than this so I tend to pull it out to the width of the cushions, which is like a small double. Probably not suitable for a very tall person, although one has slept in the van using a box and cushion at the end of the bed to extend it!
Bed slides in and out super easily. Plenty of storage underneath – very handily fits those shallow plastic boxes that you can store under regular beds, which store loads. Have loaded it up with camping table, chairs, tent, dog crate etc.
