A collection of interesting/awful campers & motorhomes

[mickthemaverick]

That fire engine was up for sale on carsandclassics a year or two ago

I had a vague recognition of it when I saw it but I couldn't remember where from. That may well have been it. It appeals to me as it offers Off Grid living and carries a plentiful supply of beer!!

[MattBLancs]

When I first saw it, in a very fetching two-tone yellow and white - for those reading this in monochrome - I thought it was a 'proper' Type 2...



And then I looked at the DVLA record for it...



Interesting on the fuel type and emissions

Think they carried on making the T2, Brasil?? And they ended up with water cooled 1.4 Polo engines. I think it must be one of those.

EDIT it is, I've just remembered the conversion to water cooled necessitates an air intake for a front mount radiator. Which is what the big round spare wheel thing provides:

Mesh??

^^^ Ahh! Thanks for all of that Matt - very appreciated

Ha ha, no problem at all Jim!

Goodness only knows why I know that!
No direct experience of any camper vans let alone Brazilian T2 models!

[CitroJim]

This just about sums it up

Borrowed from Facebook...

Nice Bedford CA

[CitroJim]

I spotted this one in Minehead last week..

No point in using colour for this photo as it's white!

The cab looks very Peugeot/Citroen but I cannot tell what model it's based on.

DVLA says it's a Fiat.

Engine is stated to be a 1905cc diesel, suggesting it's an XUD.

Whatever it is, it's rather nice

[Hell Razor5543]

That might be based on the Citroen Dispatch or Peugeot Expert.

I think you'll find its a Fiat Ducato, What colour were the stripes?

[furriegurrie]

Don’t think Ducato. They are bigger. This is likely a Fiat Scudo

[mickthemaverick]

Yes I think you are right there, it is the Scudo, the grill gives it away on closer inspection. I'd guess an Auto Trail Tracker but can't be sure without knowing the colour of the side stripes!!

A bit of research found this:

that ones in colour!

Spoiler: show

yes, I know they're both wearing cheap, but different aftermarket wheel trims

[mickthemaverick]

I thought you were going to point out that mine has a side door while Jim's doesn't!!
