The shower and toilet needs a good clean and tidying up - there will need to be various other bits of wooden panels refurbished or replaced inside. It's nothing that can't be done by a keen DIY person.

I had one very similar indeed many years ago, leaked badly and rotted through the floor and walls, electrics weren't to good either, it was also a nightmare to drive. Other than that, perfect.
It looks to be a very large vehicle to be 3500kg. I would think the payload is quite minimal.

Especially after the wood is replaced it's going to be difficult to repair without adding weight

I wouldn't even look at it unless my mate ambulancekidd was there with me, he knows about these things and has a great example to show for it

I've been lucky Les, mine was bone dry, but keeping on top of an elderly motorhome can be an inexpensive way of enjoying the great outdoors.I wouldn't even look at it unless my mate ambulancekidd was there with me, he knows about these things and has a great example to show for it

The seller isn't hiding anything, but I think his price is still a bit on the steep side for what is after all a gamble.
I'm busy renewing some of the sealant on our old Kon-Tiki but as a preventative measure, very easy job to do though.

You couldn't pay me to take a swift. My parents had practically that same van . They almost leased it to the local swim team for practice. Big piles ofDon't anyone tell Northernraider as he loves hopeless projects!

In France on our way to Spain for winter sun.
Our first motorhome in 2007 was a Swift kontiki the same model but a 1998, no leaks and solid, we went everywhere in it, changed in 2009 to a Eura Mobil that copped better with weather conditions.
Bob.

Way overpriced!
Wrong I'm afraid, don't ask me for figures, but I do know that ours has plenty of wriggle room.
