Interior pics

 



The fascia of the vehicle is a lovely walnut. There are more bells and levers on it as some of the controls for habitation devices are there (e.g. switching the fridge to the domestic battery)

Driving is very similar to my old 04 reg Berlingo, but with a 2L engine, it is much more responsive.








The two bench seats form a dining area and/or sleeping area, Upholstery is a little bit shabby but nothing a good clean can't rectify.











Some seats come with seatbelt anchor points - very useful for Alf when he's wearing his seatbelt harness.

The windows have black-out blinds and fly screens. Both need a little bit of TLC to get them working smoothly, as do the window latches. This is a 15 year old camper we're talking about.





The sink is fed from a pumped drinking water tank. When not in use, it folds up against the bulkhead so that the porta-potti housed underneath has its own little compartment. 

There is an Eberspächer air-blower heater fuelled from its own diesel tank, 






A two-burner gas hob and grill sits above the 3-way fridge (identical to the one on the boat). There is a gas tank in an outside locker, a 240v intake point (also outside) and a domestic battery beneath the passenger seat for all power needs.







The camper lacks a shower but we were both used to washing in a bowl when the shower pump was faulty on the boat. There is a 240v socket at floor level, beside the sink, allowing for the use of a mains kettle when moored with a power point.

The other fixing, bolted to the floor is a seatbelt point.


There is also a lack of storage space, for kitchen equipment, food cupboard supplies, bedding, and clothes. As I don't intend to be aboard for more than one or two nights. I will have to make use of the under-bed storage areas for clothes, cleaning equipement, and groceries. I'm used to being aboard a boat with a lot more storage. But, as with a house, the more storage - the more stuff.
