Being registered as a motor caravan means she could be the perfect base vehicle if you chose to redo her interior completely.
A few things to note:
The image depicting the ARB room and awning is an old one, the roof box and bike rack are not included. Also, rear privacy windows have been installed since.
We know this van is going to make the next owner very happy as we’ve taken great care of her, but that’s not to say she’s perfect.
Some of her imperfections include, the bodywork is in good condition for her age but we have a dink in her farside rear panel.
Our old bike rack has left its mark on the rear nearside door it was attached to.
A few chips from stones can be found on the paintwork, mainly around the bonnet area.
Reminder, we’ve lived in this vehicle for over a year, and there’s evidence of this in the way of a few imperfections. The main being the vinyl flooring, whilst in sunny Sardinia we stupidly left a bottle of water near the back doors, this actually caused a small burn mark. Also, some of the vinyl around the side-loading door was left in the sun (also in Sardinia), which led to some patches becoming raised up from the wooden floor below.
The couch pulls out into a Double Bed – with the use of bowed slats from Ikea. 3” Foam with 1” memory foam topper – bespoke upholstery as mentioned. Bed measurements 182cm X 123cm (small double)
Plenty of under-bed storage
Digital Chubb safe fixed into the floor, comes with 2 keys.
