Current wedding hire business model with established portfolio which can be transferred to the new owner. Always dry stored. Sadly the time has come to sell on my T2 Baywindow Campervan ‘Barney’ to his next custodian as I no longer get the time, or opportunity to use him for his intended purpose. He’s a fully functional Campervan that’s ready to go on his next adventure and wants for nothing (apart from a new owner to use and love him!)
