That is nice, could live in that full time.
How much is it worth?
Not everyones cup of tea, bit clumsy.
I think it should go upwards of £15K, but maybe more like £12K ish.

very nice. i lived in something like that for 15 years till the rear springs gave out and i got stuck in a carpark for 12 years. never went anywhere again. you really need something dead reliable before you spend a lot of time and energy on the interior. i always fancied one of those exhibition artic trailers. the small ones  that hook up to a transit with a 5th wheel. that way if the vehicle rusts away or gets too  expensive to repair you can just get another one and fit the 5th wheel turntable to a better motor.

Very nice... slightly lacking on insulation though, I bet the wind whips through the tongue n groove in winter.  Bit of a summer vehicle only!

That's what the wood burner is for.

Being as there is no shortage of space, you would think he could have put two inches of kingspan all round. Slipped up a bit there.
