If I was to guess it will have a big V8 under the bonnet. As you mention LPG does it have an LPG conversion? That will help with the running costs. How many MPG can you get. The bodywork does not look bad and can easily be repaired . The whole thing could have gone up.

As i have written it is 8.1L petrol engine,

It has one large petrol tank that holds at todays prices £400 of petrol.

It has 2-90L LPG tanks =£150,

As to what it does to the gallon I have never checked just used gas.

Thanks Ray.

I have always liked the American RVs but have been put off by their voracious thirst. We looked at a Winnebago a while back but sadly it was only made of thin plywood with a fibreglass skin. I was not impressed with that. Looked nice though!!!

Hi, FYI

This us defiinitly not a winnibago as the outside ply is 15mm thick and 4mm thick fibreglas body and it has 2 x 90L LPG tanks that when at 65mph it cruises and never changes down a gear and delivers about 400 miles on 2 tanks of gas.

Hi, thanks for the info. My old Jeep runs on LPG and has two 60lit cylinders in the back. On a long journey I can get 600km from a fill. I enjoy the cheaper motoring.

Running on LPG is so much easier than trying to recharge your EV, providing you can find somewhere and considerably greener.

Hello. I am interested in this RV, I can see what is what so no need for silly questions. However would need to see the vehicle as fibreglass Laminates vastly break down regarding heat/fire structural wise. One question please, the revenue weight, what is stamped on the registration document. I would have thought this vehicle is around 15,000kg. Well over the 7,500 UK limit before HGV plating is required. I await your reply. R.

Thank you for the reply. According to DVLA records 3 mins ago they stated GN58UAK is registered as 17530kg. If this is a misprint and should be lbs? it would still work out to 7.825 tonne thus HGV. Regardless I would still like to have a look please to determine if this vehicle is worth spending quite a lot of money on her. I know America has the "short tonne" the UK has the "long tonne" it would be easy to work out the correct vehicle weight once i see the axle weights and vin plate. How do I view please. R.
