Cosy Cabin on Wheels - SOLD
I cannot belive we are selling our beautiful home. This has been our adventure wagon and safe space for 3.5 years and we are unbelievably sad to let it go! But due to changing plans and circumstances we have decided to build a bigger van that will be our UK base that we can always return to from our further away travels. We wanted something more like a house than a van.. but of course we still need wheels!
Anyway, without further ado, here is all the information about our lovely clean green bean machine.
General Information:
Year: 2012
Make and Model: Vauxhall Movano
Size: Medium Wheel Base
Mileage: 75,000 miles
Location: UK ONLY
Conversion Highlights:
Apart from being obviously very beautiful and instagrammable, this van has been our trusty steed. It’s transported us safely all the way from the UK to Turkey. This vehicle has been so reliable.
As a home, it’s simple and easy to live in. We’ve kept everything very easy to access and fix (not that we have really had to). The off-grid-ability is a huge bonus with this van, the amount of solar and the capability to charge while you drive means you’ll never have to plug into shore power, a bit of driving tops up the battery really nicely. Another great thing about this van is the storage space under the bed, we keep two paddle boards, spare backpacks, outdoor chairs and lots more under there!
