  • This maybe my favourite van build I’ve seen so far. Would never have thought of that layout but seeing it finished and that extra bed by the bulkhead is a great idea! Done really well!! 😀😀

    • Thanks glad you like it, I got mine from an E-Bay listing which I missed out on, I contacted the garage who sold it asking if they got any others to let me know, it came originally from Alliance Healthcare via the seller, mine has 170k on it but drives like new, vans that come from a big company tend to be looked after regularly, don't be afraid of higher mileage Crafters they will easily do 300k and above if serviced regularly, mine came with the original owners history so I know it's been well looked after
