Hi just came across your video, with one of our ex ambulances. cheers G

[@basevan]

@@georgewalker2269 awesome did you used to drive these style?

[@georgewalker2269]

@@basevan Yes but with fleet maintenance, am part off the team that keep them on the road

[@sorchajones1788]

I like it. I’ve a few questions about this, or similar vans you might have. In this, can like the bulkhead come out- and would this come with a diesel heater? Generally, you strip out the things a campervan live-r couldn’t use?

[@basevan]

@@sorchajones1788 bulkhead can be removed and diesel heater stays. Happy to help if you want to get in contact [e-mail] 👍

[@sorchajones1788]

Do they do a automatic van in a Peugeot boxer or think like it

[@basevan]

@@clivebennett6549 yes we have a few, the Ducato has better transmission

[@tiffp1738]

I'm considering one of these. Ive seen one in much worse nick than this, looks clean and tidy!

[@basevan]

@@tiffp1738 yes I try and select the best. I’ve rejected around 15 of these vans and placed them into auction to clear in the past. However, some do exist that are worth it.

[@clivebennett6549]

I'm still looking for a automatic van

@@clivebennett6549 emailed you 👍

[@pipmcscot7078]

18 months since we came down and visited you and still no phone call from you to advise of getting a Police carrier in to convert to a camper

[@basevan]

Hey! Really sorry if I made you a promise that hasn't been realised. Please drop me an email [e-mail]!!

[@clivebennett6549]

You can delete the AdBlue if you don't need it

[@basevan]

Indeed. But that’s unlawful unfortunately. Better being safe than 😮❤

[@karldingbat]

I bought 1 of those sprinters, the engine lasted 50 miles then blew up due to poor maintenance by the nhs. 12k quoted for repair 👎👎🤬

[@basevan]

@@karldingbat jeez!! What did the dealer do?

[@Benoit4real]

Wow you’d expect the opposite from emergency services especially regarding people’s lives in the back a break down being life or death.

[@jamesevans938]

@@Benoit4realthe engines are constantly running while the engine hours are typically a lot higher than the mileage it’s not unusual for the engine to go before anything else on the vehicle it’s unfortunate but engines are not designed to be running at idle for most of the day but that’s the life that ambulances have plus they don’t tend to sell ambulances until they are ran into the ground most engines on ambulances are maintained it’s just that maintenance can only do so much when there’s a need for them to be on the road and they can’t afford to have them sitting in workshops days on end so as soon as problems arise they are replaced

[@staceyismine]

What do you expect they dont care about us why would they care about the cars or vans 🤷

[@Benoit4real]

@@jamesevans938 I hadn’t considered the amount of idling that’s a great point.m

[@normality3848]

Not for me. It sounds like a proper wrong ‘un.

[@basevan]

please give me more details about your requirements and thoughts. Wrong 'un? Feed me with what you know! Rupe x
