This partially restored vintage super-lightweight caravan would make the perfect project for someone who wants to own a unique vintage caravan without tackling the most serious or technical aspects of restoration. All major mechanical and electrical work has already been completed, leaving only light restoration and interior finishing to personalize it and make it your own.
The caravan has benefited from a full body respray (£1200) and has been fully mechanically restored, making it safe, reliable, and ready for use. It is currently under 750kg, which makes it very easy to tow, while the upgraded running gear provides exceptional stability and safety on the road.
The caravan comes with a fully installed, high-quality off-grid power system, including:
Renogy Solar Panel
Renogy 200Ah Battery
Renogy MPPT Solar Controller
Bluetooth connectivity
Battery monitor
3000W Inverter
This setup comfortably supports off-grid living and has been used successfully in real-world conditions.
All major mechanical components have been replaced or upgraded, including:
Brand new axle (rated to 1500kg)
New suspension
New brake drums
New brakes
New handbrake system
New coupling system (rated to 1250kg)
New jockey wheel
With the caravan weighing under 750kg, this creates a very safe, over-engineered/weight rated towing setup, making towing easier on the car and significantly improving stability and handling.
Professionally installed 12V / 24V campervan fridge freezer
Low-energy diesel heater, ideal for year-round use
All of the following are included and simply need fitting:
Sink and tap
Gas hob
Thetford cassette toilet
Shower tray
Shower tap and hose system
Water pump
Water tank
LPG gas water heater
Carbon monoxide alarm
New window latches
Double foam mattress and bedding
Electric hook-up cable
This caravan is almost ready to go and would only require a small amount of work to finish, with minimal additional cost as all remaining items are included. It is ideal for someone wanting a manageable restoration project with the expensive and technical work already completed.
I have been living in and using the caravan for work, but I wasn’t able to fully complete the project before needing it. Now that my current contract is coming to an end, I no longer have use for it, which is the only reason for sale.
