The camper is a 90 T350 long wheel-base, 5 gear, manual, 2.4 ltr turbo diesel (love it when we talk dirty). It has a mid height roof, is a converted Transit minibus and bright Blue. It has three seat-belted seats in the front (driver’s plus a double) but none in the rear. The cab is fairly basic but has air-con and an analogue radio / CD player and decent speakers. The main and leisure batteries are located under and behind the driver’s seat, as is all the mains 240v and 12v DC wiring. There is a curtain separating the cab from the habitation area (handy when parked on the roadside and for keeping the heat in).
Internally it has a toilet cubicle (woohoo!) with a clothes hanging rail and a Portapoti chemical toilet. It has a sink with cold water tap via 12v DC pump and double burner unit over cupboards that house the gas, the clean and grey water tanks, a 240v fridge and a surprising amount of storage. Above the drivers cab there is a large open storage area which is very handy for clothes and bags. There is one small roof light / vent and a number of sliding side windows. The all-round curtains are blue (watch this space), as is the upholstery; all are in good condition. It has two bench seats with oodles of storage under them, including one that houses a small 240v micro-wave! There are a number of 12v lights and the whole van is wired with 240v mains sockets. The flooring is essentially white, but it looks like someone has dribbled black paint over it!
Externally it has an Omnistor wind out awning – oooooph! (but no sides – yet), a step that comes out, a tow bar, a 240v mains hook up point (oooh errrr) and a rack for two bikes on one of the rear opening doors. Oh, and it’s bright Blue?
Given its ’54’ plate vintage, the bodywork is in amazing condition bar a couple of very small areas of rust that will need some attention. The undercarriage including sub frames, suspension, transmission and exhaust belie its age, most being coated with a thick under seal. You just get the sense that it’s really been looked after.
Not sure if I mentioned it but “Big Blue” is bright Blue; perfectly camouflaged for wild camping 🙂
