Suitable for off grid living. Expanse in solar panels and leisure batteries for prolonged overnight stays if wanting electronic entertainment would be recommended. 3-way fridge would benefit also.

You have hot water within 30-40 minutes of turning on the water heater.
Diesel Heater will heat the entire bus up to be toasty on chilly nights within 10mins. Bus maintains heat well.
7kg gas bottle supplies gas hobs and water heater.

Body condition is what you would expect from a bus of 20years old but everything that matters underneath is in good condition.

Driving experience is overall good. It's geared low and has torque so hills or rough terrain aren't a problem. It reaches 30mph quickly and is happy to cruise at 50-60mph. You can cruise on motorways at 60mph whilst keeping your tachometer in the green. I never used more than 75% throttle and got on fine.

I've taken it round the New Forrest, across to Swanage then the other way to Portsmouth in a south coast trip of approximately 400 miles. Was easy to drive and had everything we needed. On this trip I averaged 26mpg.

Suitable also for full time living.
