Were you on Lewis two simmers ago? Saw a mint one of those a few times whilst out and thought it looked great. That was the era of Mercedes commerical that their entire reliability reputation is built on, I remember the gearboxes being like trying to shift half a planet with a plastic tea stirrer but the rest of them are solid.
BrickMan-
Not me unfortunately, kids got in the way before getting out on some long trips! I must have lucked out on the gear shift as it shift solidly. I rented a bay window VW the month before buying the Merc and the gear change was hilariously bad, having to find gears in floating space. Been told the engines are bombproof and when getting new tyres the mechanic said they had a couple that went to 500k miles!

Thought I'd post on here before going into the world of Autotrader,etc. Unfortunately I'm looking to sell on my camper as we're not using it enough to justify it.
It's a 1990 Mercedes T1N 208d 'Commodore' professionally converted by a small company called Car Cruiser who were based near Nottingham. I've owned it for just over 4 years and the chap before me, Reg, had it for 22 and kept it in a workshop. As such, it's in pretty good nick for its age.
49,800 miles 2.3 diesel 5 speed dog-leg
2 berth (I made a platform over the front seats for baby)
Power steering (optional factory extra)
80L fresh and 50L waste water tanks
Pumped cold water, blown air heating, 2 way fridge. It's a solar panel away from being self sufficient.
Happy to provide more photos if anyone is interested. Based in Kings Lynn
