Hi Folks,
Just joined this great looking resource yesterday
Ive been searching for a 4x4 van for maybe a year or more. Run through all my options a million times (Iveco, Transit, Sprinter, unimog ????) (Box van, panel van, lwb, swb, high top, low top ?????) Arrrrrgg
Finally after much waiting I think I have found the perfect van, close to home, no rust, low mileage. Flipping expensive but id rather pay extra for a good base than have the first job be a bunch of body work and mechanical repairs.
So here it is . MWB, low roof, ex fire brigade 313 4x4 on a 2002 plate with 36,000 miles / 58,000km . Low box and diff lock.
I collect it tomorrow if all goes well . MOT was nearly out so the seller is re testing it tomorrow but here`s some pics from the advert for your viewing pleasure.

I plan on doing a camper conversion but I have a lot of thinking and planning to do with the limited space so it may take 12 months or more before I make a final plan.
First job I can get on with is insulation and some swivel seat bases. Then I`ll probably nock up a disposable bed from scraps (pallets etc) and go on a few test runs to see how things work out space wise.
Better to do a test run for cheap than fit it out properly to begin with I think.
Anyway trawled the entire Aussy,NZ and Europe forums yesterday. Off to do the RV section now
Cheers
