Comments from the seller

Perfect for free camping! This could be your new travel home. Only travelled 138000 km. INCLUDED FEATURES: This Ford Transit Van has power steering. Vehicle registration paid until Sep 2027. Front cab driving air conditioner needs renewal , 240 volt reverse cycle air con in motorhome. 2 Solar panels on roof and 2x 240 amp hour batteries gives all the power you will ever need. Gas hot water takes only a few minutes to heat. Gas stove has a grill as well. Fridge is 12 or 240. The bed is a couch, single bed or king single or double with extra length. Shower and toilet. The v6 holden conversion often done in these vans has been completed. It is now a holden V6 petrol engine with great pulling power. A high strength tow bar has been fitted. The photos show the car after I paid 6k for rust removal and paint in 2017. The rust was NOT removed and needs attention. These vans once work is finished are selling for 40 k plus. It is a project still. The van has been used as permanent living for many years and is still very low klms. The original speedo which I still have was 138,000 and the motor that went in was 134,000klms. The car sales add works on automatic choices so the add reads as an empty transit without modifications. The solar on it alone is worth 5k. A diesel internal heater was fitted in 2017 but has not been hooked into the portable diesel tank and remains unused, brand new. To do the rust properly is a big job. This is my reason for selling. See the rust photos before contacting me. Viewable in Gin Gin only, no I will not drive it to you.
