Leyland DAF T244 4×4 Expedition Truck, Motor Caravan, Motorhome, Overlander

All of the build images plus vehicle details can be viewed from my website at Home2Roam.uk

This is a massively insulated cabin, which I have lived in for over 7 years, the reason for sale is I now live in a narrow boat!

It is tested under the DVSA IVA scheme, and thus registered as a “Motor Caravan” one of the very few legally registered as such, despite what owners will tell you! It is also registered at the full max weight of 10.8 tons, and fully loaded it is about 9 tons.

This is a Left Hand Drive vehicle from new, where steering wheels should be! I love driving this!

Vehicle has covered just over 30K genuine miles, all of which can be accounted for as these are notorious as being fitted with unreliable speedo heads. I have recorded every single mile this truck has been driven, plus the mileage whilst serving in the RAF. 

The vehicle is stored near Barnsley so viewing is by appointment only.
