So we've picked up the camper, really impressed with it so far! It turns out to have quite a comprehensive service history including every single mot certificate from the first so the 67000 miles is definately genuine!

Put it in today for a full service and to have the fuel lines changed. The only fault so far is the accelerator has a tendancy to stick which can be a bit scary! Any tips on sorting that would be appreciated. I'll be checking the conduit asap.

Apart from that, just looking forward to driving it because it drives lovely and my two year old son loves it and keeps calling it COOL BUS! Ha

Great news! Looks a brilliant van, I am do pleased for you!!

That looks like you've bought a nice van that's been well cared for. Enjoy

Hi Dan
Good choice of motor.
We have one of those in our collection and its one of the best thought out pro conversions out there. This is helped by the fact that Devon took the trouble to cut out the centre strengthening rib from the original van roof to allow a full headroom living space. They made up for any loss of strength by installing a big hooped roll bar/crossmember that goes up and over inside the hitop. Most converters will not remove the original crossmember in this way. This was one of the last conversions carried our by Devon before the company hit difficulties, so is a bit scarce. The quality of build is good and high spec, so it wouldn't have been the cheapest to carry out. I don't know how much it sold for when new. Ours is an 88 1.9 wasserboxer and we have had it about 4-5 years now. We have had T25 campers by Autosleepers, Autohomes, and others, but this is the best one we have had in terms of practicality and space.
Hope it serves you well.
