I hope those snakes don't bite Tam. My mum's dog got bitten by a snake in a park and had to have it's leg amputated. Sorry didn't mean to worry you, I'm sure the snakes just sliver off and hide when they hear the dogs and feel the movement in the water.(y)
Yeah they scarper quick when the dogs or indeed I go near.. that's how it's taken so long to get photos of them

Milo being scared of the stick is funny.
I think there was a bug on it ... he usually loves sticks .. but there are some very big ants ,beetles and weird flying things here at this time if year.

I thought that but a lot of the older ones appear to be. We're vans lighter then?
I'm not sure .. mine is currently 4200kg .. but I have letters from sv tech amongst my paperwork for previously down plating then up plating again several years later. I've not had this on a weighbridge so I'm unaware of its actual weight empty.

It is quite a well built interior in these though with a lot of solid wood in it. And it's a truck chassis . So maybe at 3500kg it's tight on payload .


But that vans in cracking condition for it's age .

Or this one at 3500kg

With 2 cab and 2 hab doors!

Yeah I looked at that a while back but it's a bit of a shed. The coachbuilt ones in exceptional condition for 30 year old

If I still had my mums drive I'd have bought that and flipped it.

Only listed today but I'd not be surprised if it sold by Monday

I agree it's a cracking looking 'van, but I can't see it ever being useable at 3500kg, and definitely not if you used all seven berths.

The only downside for me would be the black tank - I think yours was converted to cassette, but yes looks a real bargain

Yes I'm not keen on the black tank idea .. its just more shit to dispose of .

Mine has a cassette loo in it now . And 2 grey waste tanks.
