Glastonbury 2025: 
Ford Cargo
Featured in practical motorhome: https://www.practicalmotorhome.com/advice/creating-a-horsebox-conversion .
For Sale on advertised price or best offer.
Holiday let for profit share considered: If land and service available, I would provide the camper for a share of income.
I am sadly selling my stunning horsebox conversion due to a change of my plans this year. It is highly unique on the inside, like a ‘hobbit-house’ which would create a magical experience for those staying inside. Compared to other motorhomes, it is particularly spacious and comfortable.
It is possible to travel in this vehicle, particularly good for dropping off at camp sites. Or, it could just make a fantastic outdoor office, or guest accommodation (that could maybe be on Airbnb).
It was created by somebody who reworked the wood, and crafted the interior by hand from reclaimed wood. This has been featured in the magazine Practical Motorhome: https://www.practicalmotorhome.com/advice/creating-a-horsebox-conversion
The horse box converted camper fits for a couple. It’s spacious with full size kitchen, dining table, drawing table. The sleeping area is at the spacious mezzanine with full size bed. It has a separate shower room.
