General description

We bought this RV about eight weeks ago—to be honest, because we were in a situation where we had to act fast. And then something happened: We really felt at home in it. Nearly 5,000 kilometers across Europe, through Spain and Portugal and back again—without a single problem.

Waking up in the morning in the 1.40-meter-wide rear bed while the rest of the family was still slumbering in the alcove. The huge rear garage swallowed up everything we brought with us. And once, we were completely self-sufficient for five days, without any shore power—the SIGA batteries kept up without a complaint.

So why are we selling it? Not because of a defect. Starting in September, we’d like to settle in one place in Spain for at least three months—and for that, a car and trailer combination is simply more practical for us than a motorhome. The motorhome hasn’t done anything wrong; we’re just turning the page.

Since selling this vehicle is a matter of trust for us, we’re telling you about it exactly as we’d want it explained to us—with all the details:

- On the technical side, completely transparently: The 2.4-liter Ford diesel makes an audible whistling sound when accelerating (turbo/intercooler) and visibly emits soot under load when the engine is warm—typical behavior for older diesels of this generation, but we don’t want to sugarcoat anything. The fact is: 5,000 km across Europe, including the Pyrenees passes, without a single breakdown—the engine’s performance is fully intact. We’ve already factored this into the price—if you’d like, you’re welcome to have the vehicle inspected on-site by a specialist of your choice; we have nothing to hide.

- There is moisture damage on the window of the rear bed: the veneer has split open in one spot and has been sealed on the outside with tape (photo in the gallery). We measured it with a Trotec meter—the readings match those of the intact comparison window, and the surface is currently dry.

- The freezer door on the refrigerator is defective (replacement parts are available),

- the backup camera is installed but isn’t working at the moment, and

- the tires (twin tires in the rear) should be replaced soon.

- It doesn’t have air conditioning, solar panels, or an awning

- but you can go surprisingly far on the auxiliary batteries.

And the best part: Technically, it’s ready to go. The vehicle inspection and LPG inspection are valid until 12/2026, it has a green emissions sticker and a retrofitted particulate filter; the 2.4-liter Ford with 137 PS effortlessly pulls the 3.5-metric-ton motorhome (drivable with a Class B license) over any mountain pass. Fuel consumption ranges between 9 and 12 liters of diesel, depending on the route and driving style. Six registered seats with seat belts, up to six sleeping berths (two fixed 1.40-m beds plus a convertible seating area), Truma gas heater with hot water boiler, an auxiliary heater for driving, Dometic refrigerator powered by gas/12 V/230 V, separate shower, cassette toilet, 120 l fresh water and 100 l gray water. A trailer hitch and TV are included (no satellite), and the mounts for a Fiamma bike rack are still in place. New additions from us: fresh curtains, new PVC flooring (there’s also a custom-cut black carpet, perfect for the cooler months), an awning with suction cups, and a gas leak sensor.

Known defects

The turbo whistles when accelerating; when the engine is warm, visible black smoke is emitted under load, and power delivery is sometimes jerky. Two automotive experts suspect a leaky charge air hose or boost pressure sensor (no engine warning light, no indication of turbo damage). Moisture damage to the rear bed window: the veneer has split on the inside; the outside has been temporarily sealed with tape; currently dry (as measured by Trotec); professional resealing required. Freezer compartment door is defective. A backup camera is installed but not functioning.
