Registered as Motor Caravan with DVLA (this makes insurance & vehicle tax cheaper)



We are moving to Australia next year, therefore need to sell our beloved van. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with this van and hope it will provide many more years of joy to a new owner. This vehicle is easy to drive and as a short wheelbase easy to maneuver and park. We recently completed 3 months of travel through Europe. During this time we lived and worked in the van completely off-grid. We stayed in free Park4night locations, never needing to hook up to power. This allowed us to stay in remote places across Europe and significantly reduced our trip expenses.




Low Mileage for Ford Transit 109,000 m


MOT due 25 May 2022


Full Service completed 18 May 2021


AA Inspection report completed March 2021 (can provide on request)


Body work is in great condition. This vehicle has only had three previous owners and has always been used as a leisure vehicle, hence the good body work. There is one area of recent damage on back left.




Best Features




Power


- 1 x 100 Watt Solar Power on roof


- Renogy Solar Charge controller + bluetooth controller (this allows you to check status of battery status via app on your phone)


- Split charge relay (charges leisure battery from the van engine running)


- Brand new 12 V 110 ah Leisure battery


- 3000W Invertor (vital for us to charge laptops whilst travelling)




Kitchen


The kitchen was by far our favourite part of the van. With 2 x gas hob stove and a grill underneath we were able to cook all of our favourite dishes such as curries, stirfrys and even baked potatoes.


Butane 907 Campingaz Cylinder. The WAECO 50L Compressor fridge + freezer is a great size & in great working condition. Brand new this costs over ?600.


Sink connected to 12v pump + has custom made cutting board & spice rack




Sleep


In order to utilise the space in the van, we built a pull out slat bed. The final dimensions of the bed are 1900 x 1600 mm (a small double bed size in length with extra half a metre width)


Both sides of the bed are made of memory foam mattress, which we found comfortable to sleep on night after night.


Below the bed is 2 x levels of storage, which is more than enough space to live in the van for multiple months.




Heating / Cooling


All walls have a thick layer of wool insulation behind a layer of 10mm plywood. The inside has been professionally carpeted giving the inside of the van a soft finish.


Skylight (with mosquito net) installed over bed which allows airflow during hot nights. Van will also come with usb rechargeable fan that once fully charged can last a couple nights of constant use. This enabled us to keep cool when travelling through Spanish deserts, with night temperatures close to 30 deg celsius. For winter travel, the van has a diesel heater. Note, the bulkhead behind the drivers seat of the van remains .This also helps with keeping the living space of the van warm in cooler months. Above the bulkhead is another large area of storage, which we used as a wardrobe for our clothes during our long trip.

RepLock installed on drivers door - high security cylinder that prevents thieves from picking the lock


Sterling Wheel StopLock included (worth ?80)
