The body of the camper is what you would expect from a 1990 van. It has a few scratches and repairs but it blends in beautifully when travelling

I have had it for 6 months so

Van

pic from the front, red is from minor nudge before i bought the van. you can see the origional paint color=p

far, I have travelled to Ireland and a fair bit around England, and it has never missed a beat.

I got the engine checked when I first bought it and it came up as great. it doesn't use any oil, great economy 14 km to the litre and 12 in the city.
The oil and filters were changed when I first got it but no other work on the engine has been done while I've owned it

All the doors open and all the handles and windows around the van work , there are 2 different keys though, one for the drivers door and ignition and one for the rest of the van

All the electronics work including all the extra ones that have been added in stereo, 240 power converter, 12 volt lights, running water in the sink and the fridge is fine.

Rust - A bit on the bottom of the drivers and passengers doors but they have all been repaired.. the underneath is fine there is no rust on any of the frames or the floor.

Overall body condition is a little rough, there are no major dents or anything like that

Van

inside of the van, with the 3rd bed(spare bed;) which is situated over the cupboards, cooker and the feet of the double bed. in the 3rd pic the lighter cupboard is a hanging cupbourd for shirts and pants. as well as other storage. darker cuboard has teh gas bottle, tea, cups, 1st aid and cans

but the previous owner thought it would be a good idea to paint the bottom half of the van with house paint? it look fine until you get close and can see the streaks.

There are no leaks while it rains, and it is warm because of the insulation=p

Other Info about vans in london:

Parking in London can be tough but only because they like to charge in most places, the size has never been an issue unless it is in a parking garage then it is usually to high.

It is compulsory to have insurance if you drive a car in the UK.
Insurance can be expensive but it depends who you go through and what type of licence you
have, I found down under world wide to be good as you can get a few months of insurance instead of having to have the whole years worth.
