Vehicle condition and upgrades
The vehicle is in excellent condition for its age, with no advisories on its last MOT.
It includes a 100w solar panel with MPPT controller, a battery master, numerous USB charging points (both EHU & 12v), and rear speakers fitted into the living area.
Mileage is recorded at 291,460. However as per MOT history of June 2017 recorded mileage 73,464. The instrument cluster had a wiring fault & the garage couldn't get a replacement less that £950. I sourced an instrument cluster from Cali Campers in Hampshire that was the same model but the mileage was 199.242 miles out! If you had driven the vehicle 24/7 for 365 days there is no way on earth that you would clock up this mileage! All recorded on the MOT website. The engine, bodywork & interior reflect that this is not the case.
The original sprung seats have been upgraded to foam inside the original covers which are sun bleached over the years and far more comfortable to sit & sleep on than the originals ever were!
The Carverwater heater was rebuilt 2 years ago and the gas heating has not been reconnected due to us not needing it requiring a new burner part. It works perfectly well one EHU.
The carver fire works on both gas & EHU.
The gas fire, oven with grill & 2 gas hobs along with the fridge has been gas safe checked earlier this year by a qualified person. Also checked out the 12 volt system & renewed the relays as faulty. We use it off grid mostly these days & haven't had a problem with it at all.
The engine has been serviced and cambelt changed 2 years ago. Just had a new vacuum pump fitted as the piston was rattling. Also the exhaust manifold has been skimmed and new gaskets, along with all new glow plugs.New ignition barrel also fitted, it has never broken down on us in a the time we've had it.
New flock seals on windows, along with all new herzim trim fitted as well. No leaks around windows or roof vents.
Includes reversing camera
Asking price £14000
Why we are selling
After 10 wonderful years, we are looking to upgrade to a bigger motorhome with a fixed bed and more living space, as we intend to travel across Europe for longer periods. This beloved campervan is ready for its next owner to create new memories.
