2015: Truma air conditioning system (Saphir Comfort RC) installed to cool both the living area and the cab—it can also serve as a heater if needed.
Now, here’s a small catch… the vehicle is located in Portugal (Algarve) and hasn’t been driven much over the past two years, as we’ve been using it as a “tiny home” on our own property. As a result, the vehicle does not have a German TÜV inspection, but it has recently undergone a complete check-up and major inspection at a MAN authorized service center. The steering column was replaced.
The vehicle is generally in good condition; it just needs a few cosmetic repairs to suit your taste…
