VW LT46 Campervan for Sale - £11,995
I am selling my VW LT45 Self-Build Campervan, converted from an '03 registered Minibus. Note this is over 3.5t GVW and so a C1 license (automatically granted if passed your test before 1997) is required.
This is finished in a very distinctive "Daktari" Zebra-stripe exterior which gets loads of admiring looks and reaction. The stripes were put on using long-life vinyl by a professional sign-writer so have been expertly applied but because they are quality Vinyl can be removed easily if you wanted a more mundane appearance.
The Camper is MOTed until April 2022 (so near enough the full 12 month ticket) with no advisories noted (I instructed the garage prior to the MOT to deal with anything that might come up!).
PS. This is recorded with DVLA as a "Motor Caravan" on the V5C and so has the regular Class 4 MOT and subject to the same Speed Limits as a car (the ULW is 2.95t).
The Camper is setup as an Electric-Only Camper, so no need to use expensive calor gas cylinders or hunt for LPG filling stations - the massive Battery Bank and large Solar Array will provide the power you need
(I'll put some more photos up after I do some washing and tidying inside, but here is a older photo)
