Comments from the seller
Reliable and dependable.
Smooth to drive, diesel engine will go on forever. Regrettable sale - baby arrival means my wife and I can’t use it any more, it would be a shame for it to sit in our garage.
Camper converted 2008 Volkswagen Transporter T5 Turbo Diesel. Comes fully kitted out.
This van has been exceptionally well maintained, serviced annually (most recently November 2025) and is set up for going off-grid. Over recent years, I have replaced the suspension so the ride feels smooth.
The van has complete service history - I have owned it since 2020 and have always had it serviced at Volkwerke (specialists for Volkswagon).
I am selling because I've got an 8-month old baby and we've needed to transfer to an SUV rather than keeping a 2-seater camper van.
Happy to get roadworthy or you are welcome to make me an offer without (and I encourage you to call Volkwerke and speak with Dean for an honest appraisal of how well maintained this van is!).
- The fridge will always stay cold as it is powered via solar panels, a lithium battery which is also able to be charged via the engine (DC/DC renogy). The Queen bed splits in half so you can dine inside the van if it were raining.
- Kitchenette
- Charging spots everywhere
- Lighting for work, and red light for reading
- Hand pumped water station
- 45L Kings fridge
- Upgraded multimedia unit, bluetooth
- Reverse camera
