I am listing my VW camper for sale. I have owned it for the past 2 years and it has been very reliable - having most recently travelled over 850 miles around Brittany this summer without any issues. It is the sought after Auto Sleeper Trooper conversion featuring the pop top roof and one of the last / newest T25 models made in 1990 before it was replaced by the T4. Auto sleeper are a UK company and one of only a few conversion companies to be officially approved by Volkswagen due to their quality materials and workmanship.
Key features include:
- mains 240v hook up
- 12v leisure battery
- 3 way fridge - 12v/240v/Gas
- Gas cooker with two ring hob, grill and 2 gas bottles
- original front seat covers (small tear in base of passenger seat) with sympathetic matching replacement rear seat covers and curtains (passenger seat also swivels to face rear)
- original quality wood kitchen and storage cupboards and two removable tables
- pop top roof to provide additional living room height and strong double bed suitable for two children or one small adult
- rear bench converts into comfortable double bed and fitted with two seat belts
- removable Sony stereo with Bluetooth and ample USB charging points
- original Thetford porta potti toilet
- 1.9 litre water cooled petrol engine
- manual 5 speed gearbox
- will include retro canvas drive away awning
- Fiamma rear mounted bike rack & cover
- Full size Just Kampers breathable winter cover
I have recently put a fresh MOT on the camper and have had the minor oil leak shown as an advisory fully repaired. I have fully serviced the van for each of the last two years whilst I have owned it and have various paperwork from previous maintenance / repairs in the past. I have had many classic VW campers both splitties and bays and this is by far the most comfortable to drive with excellent ride/suspension, cruising comfortably at 65/70 mph in fifth gear and including an effective heater / demister enabling you to have that retro character but with more practicality than its predecessors. The camper will be tax exempt in just over 4 years time and if looked after it is sure to be a worthwhile investment / future classic.
I have replaced all of the window rubbers/seals so it is water tight.
The camper is registered as a Cat D/N (non structural light damage) as back in 2009 it was stolen recovered and had repairs undertaken to the side sliding door.
As can be seen in some of the photos the camper has some surface / non structural rust in the typical areas such as seams and around the hook up point and along one side of the roof rail where previous awning clamps have caused damage (rail is perfect on the offside of the vehicle). As I say this work would only be required for cosmetic reasons if preferred and underneath the van is structurally sound hence passing MOT (see photo regarding reference to slight rust on nearside footwell step as an MoT advisory).
I have been completely honest in my description and this will be an excellent camper for someone. Only reason I’m selling is that I’ve just bought a boat and so having recently taken early retirement unfortunately the finances won’t stretch to keeping both.
I’d be open to sensible offers and am happy for serious buyers to fully inspect- the camper is located in Brixham, South Devon. Any questions let me know - cheers Wayne.
