Comments from the seller
Ford Econovan Camper – Qld rego: 302KE7.
Crafted from the finest Japanese steel in the year of our lord 1998, this camper has everything you need, possibly, depending on your needs.
With a sleeping area and sitting headroom, you can pump some tunes and dance to your heart’s content.
Whether you wish to circumnavigate and conquer Australia or park this in your local bowls club after a few too many shandies, this camper is for you.
The important stuff:
White – the absolute best colour for our Aussie heat.
4 cyl, 2.0L unleaded petrol. 352,957 genuine kilometres, probably driven some Sundays but not exclusively on Sundays, and it has not missed a beat. They don’t make them like this anymore (because it’s not 1998), what a beaut’!
This speedster (for an old camper van) flies! It can absolutely do 100km/h on the highways which will prevent people flipping you the bird when they finally overtake you after AGES of doing 85km/h.
Engine recently serviced, brakes etc all passed a roadworthy. It has a ceiling extraction fan, TV, small fridge, a portaloo (portable dunny), and a solar panel on the roof so you can camp in an unpowered site and poop in privacy (it’s private anyway as you can use it on the camper’s floor, but I just wanted to type poop in this description, sorry!)
It also has a pull-out kitchen, and a lovely awning* and a bed base ready for a mattress and storage underneath.
It has a solid bulbar which is handy in case a ‘roo tries to sumo-fight this van.
This smooth machine is also guaranteed to raise your chances of finding love by 87.5%. Imagine a weekend away with your new-found partner, yay, take champagne.
The negatives – larger-bodied people may wish to assess whether there’s enough room for them, as my mother had some difficulty sitting on a portable camping toilet on the floor. Lesser-larger-bodied people have nothing to worry about. But hey, come sit in it and have a look for yourself (the camper, not on the portable loo).
*You do need to duck to get under the awning if you’re tall, when the awning is extended, BUT that keeps the sun out of your eyes and in all honesty, you’ll likely be sitting in a camping chair having a beer, right?
So, what are you waiting for? Make yourself 76.2% cooler in front of your friends by rocking up to a shindig in your new (for you), camper! Designated driver? Who cares, "I bought me bed, mate!"
