Final Trip?

Camper was taken out today, maybe our last time out in it, to the Nantwich Food & Drink Festival, where the girls were playing for the Coop Wind Youth band.

We managed to park nearby so went back to the camper for hot chocolate and coffee at the half time break...it was a bit nippy stood out!

Updated advert details

I've updated the for sale details on my website, so it now says:

1998 Citroen Dispatch campervan, 1.9 turbo diesel, taxed to end of September, tested November 2010, power steering, CD player, immobiliser, 5 speed.

Converted last year, 5 seater, rear seat folds down into double bed. Fully insulated, sink, tap, portaloo, big leisure battery, 240v inverter, electric oven/grill, hook up, new towbar.

Odometer not working, but reputedly done about 130k, good starter and runs well, doesn't smoke, gears and clutch good, but 5th gear syncro a bit weak.

Built as day van for going to track/race days (1300kg towing capacity), but priorities have now changed...

I've also taken a video of the inside, not very good quality, it was done on my iphone, and is a bit shaky!
Hopefully the insurance certificate will come in the next couple of days, so I'll be able to put 6 months tax on it. I could do with the van going this week if possible, another project is on the way....

Insurance Renewal

Insurance has been renewed with Insurance Choice, excellent service again and good value at £180 per year. I can also transfer this insurance onto another project and they will give another 3 months build time for another self build. :)

Ebay Scudo campervan!

They're spreading!
Scudo camper van
Got to £2650, reserve not met

Definitely for sale

I've bitten the bullet and am definitely going to get a bigger van.
Tax runs out at the end of the month
The Dispatch MOT expires in November, but I've now done the CV gaiter and changed the front tyre, which were the only issues that were a concern.
Looking for £1750, but would p/x. Decided that it needs to be high roof FWD, so it's either a Boxer/Relay/Ducato MWB or possible SWB (if there are any high roof ones about) or Movano/Master SWB or MWB.

Locks, gaiter & 4 sale!

Fitted new locks all round after key stuck in ignition barrel :(
It must one of the few dispatch vans with all locks actually working properly, lol.
I've left the immobiliser on, so the old key fob is still needed to disable it, nice security feature.

The drivers side CV gaiter had split, so I've replaced that, after some cursing...

I've picked up a set of Sedona leather seats, but will probably not fit them, as I'm thinking of selling the van, to move onto another larger project. So, I'd be interested in a swap or p/x for a SWB Relay/Boxer/Ducato, high roof would be nice, for a bit of extra space.

For sale on Preloved.
