A bit small though  Where do you keep all the every day stuff, like beer, and clothes, and dog food, and musical instruments? And how do you keep the lovely Missy so clean so that she doesn't need a cage to keep the rest of the van clean? Btw everyone, notice the hatchet... you have to be nice to BigB otherwise he'll start waving his axe around Looking forward to seeing you again Big fella, I have been wondering about nipping down to BLS for a night when you're there, I must get your mobile number. Hope you are well xx |

Is it 4WD and what is MPG like? (thinking of doing a small conversion myself next year). Its not very good on MPG 28-30 more on motorway, runs on veg oil in summer, its now registered as a motorcaravan as well, cheaper insurance,Its not 4wd but they do make em in selective 4wd, the engines are bulletproof,there is a taxi in London thats done over 1 million miles on same engine, Its a 3.2TD twin aircon front and rear,remote control air con moonroof and electric curtains, it looks tatty but thats all part of it being stealth. I changed all the interior lights to LED so low power consumption.roof mounted DVD player. |

I like it. The 4wd version would be ideal for my winter Scotland trips.

Hi we nearly always freecamp - old age pension gives loads of leisure time but too little money to pay camp site fees. 
The van has solar panel, large water tank So we are pretty self sufficient. Jon
