    Saw that one too, don't know if its legal but it sure looks criminal :eek:

    Tis more like a shop soiled sauna on wheels than a camper.

    Hence the need for some kind of test I guess but does it come with a brown paper bag to put over your head as you drive it.

    I'd say the cops will stop it every time it's taken out

    I believe it costs 1 soul :o)

    I suppose you could look at it as a van with the vrt paid and gut it and lash a reimo roof on it.

    There used to be a VW T3 that had what looked like a wooden square high top a while back. The one above looks positively brilliant compared that that one! :D

    For 6300 I'd be expecting a converted granvia not a hiace panel van.

    Only one gas ring, not a legal camper. Would be good for festivels.... but not for more than 1000 bucks

    Looks like the roof is raised on it, could be classified as a camper previously then he may have put in new units after it was converted or something...

    There's worse than that driving around Cork, I think it's the top of a fiesta grafted onto an escort van (badly) it's hideous.

    Jaysus that's more than I paid for my one and I would say mine is far superior.

    Though mine does have the rear end of an audio 80 grafted on to the back ;)

    Is it legal? From what perspective?

    A a van you tax and insure it privately, job done.

    If there is a benefit for having a motor home [I don't know] then this is unlikely to qualify, it's [obviously] a home made conversion [it might be great, not knocking that out of hand] but it's a converted van.

    Having had a Hiace myself, very reliable, bit of a pain in servicing and some access ports look blocked in this one.

    It has already been established that it is classed as a motorhome which means it passed inspection.

    The point now is that it is fairly ugly and overpriced no?
