    Description
    Owned by a small family with no pets or smokers, the camper has given us some lovely holidays and has proved to be reliable and comfortable every time. MOT'd and Taxed. The garage carried out a full service and fully wax oiled underneath. Before the MOT new disks and pads were fitted on the front along with 2 new tyres and the camper has only done 30 miles between the 2 MOTs (just the drive to and from the garage).
    The outside condition is good and the paintwork is in excellent condition, especially considering the age of the vehicle.
    Inside the condition is good and immaculately cleaned. The flooring is in excellent condition with wood effect flooring covered with carpet which pops out easily and a further runner which protects the rear carpet. The cab has tailor made Elddis fitted floor mats.
    We struggled with the water heating for quite a while and I kept getting the boiler serviced but it proved to be unreliable so towards the end of last year it was replaced with a new boiler which is heated by gas and when connected to 240V it can be heated by both gas and electric for constant hot water.
    There is a reversing camera which I used when I first bought it but never found it very useful so it has always remained in the glovebox.
    Everything works and I have made sure that everything is immaculately clean so that it is ready to be used for camping straight away.

    If you would like to ask any more questions please do.
