Our beloved VW T4 2.5 TDI camper / day van with drive away awning
We’ve owned and loved this van since May 2011. Initially we used her most weekends, either for day trips out to the beach or for weekends away camping. Since my son has taken up football there are training and matches on Saturday and Sunday so it has been used less and less, last year we only did 1509 miles in her…
She has a bench seat and the driver’s seat in the front so you can carry 3 people with seatbelts, Features include:
· Pioneer stereo with an amp and a good range of speakers.
· The back is fully insulated and then carpeted (walls and floor).
· Gently lit interior with spot lights to read by
· Fully vented gas cooker
· 1/3rd back fitted with cupboards, half height where the window is and then ¾ height at the back
· Rear twin opening doors
· Leisure battery with split circuit charging system so it charges from the main battery whilst you are driving
· 1/3rd custom made bed in the back which opens out to be a decent size double bed, or folds away to allow you to get bikes / kayaks / whatever else you might want to carry inside
· Curtains all around (in the back) with matching thick foam cushions(4) which lay out to make the mattress
· T4 Custom blinds for the front three windows
· 2.5 Diesel Turbo Intercooled engine so she pulls nicely
· Skim board table
· Hammock (metal framed) bed for a child to sleep in the front – it rests on the door cards on either side so the child can sleep across the front
The good bits:
· She is an Ex XX van with very good service history. Timing Belt (including water pump etc) was done at 114,000 miles - this is a very well maintained vehicle – serviced every 10,000 miles since I’ve owned it. Loads of history.
· Good interior. Handmade curtains and cushion covers in matching fabric. Custom made and fitted bed. Nice quality carpet on the walls and floor.
· Generally good exterior. A few stone chips on the bonnet – but nothing major. Wheel arches need some work – see ‘the bad bits’
· Low mileage (117,000 miles)
· Good condition Alloy Wheels (RS4 alloys I think they are with VW centre caps)
· Full year MOT
· Front window blinds included
· Drive Away awning included
· Loads of history including detailed invoices of the conversion carried out by the previous owner (I’m the third owner)
Areas for improvement:
· The wheel arches are in need of some refurbishment, it’s a common fault on these vehicles
· The roof lining has come unstuck from the ceiling, its uniform so it looks ok but you can see it should be stuck up.
· The bumpers are starting to lose their blackness
· Will need new brake disks next time the pads are changed (but ok for a while as pads were only just changed)
We’ll be gutted to see her go having had many great trips in her but she’s not being used enough to justify keeping her.
