Blurb runs as follows...

As a family we have outgrown our beloved 1971 (1972 model year) camper van, "Derek".

A LHD VW transporter originally from Oregon, USA, Derek was converted by Riviera in the US. However in order to make him more appropriate for our family we have incorporated some period-correct Westfalia fixtures and fittings (e.g. wardrobe, rear shelf, sink unit) and added a pop-top roof in the Westfalia style to make him a 4-berth.

Features include:

• Rock and roll bed (double) in lower area
• Hinged pop-top bed (double) in upper area
• Cab hammock (single) for a small child (under 10)
• 240v mains power with distribution unit that also handles the 12v charging and features
• Single 240v socket
• Single USB socket
• Cigarette lighter socket
• Propex heater, thermostatically controlled for night heating - Camping Gaz powered
• LED lighting and fluorescent strip lighting
• Mad Matz front carpets
• Vintagespeed gear shifter
• Buddy-box between front seats with cup holders and storage
• Wardrobe storage
• Upper rear shelf storage
• Under bed storage
• Sink unit with storage, sink (disconnected - so now just a bowl) and 12 Waeco fridge / freezer
• Hidden Bluetooth amplifier and speakers
• Thermomat blinds for windows for privacy, heat management and decorative curtains

Vehicle details:

• Drives well, has been reliable for us and we have driven around UK, France, Belgium in the van
