This pearlescent white Alphard AH10 was imported from Japan in 2018. It is a smart conversion with solid, good-quality fittings and all the features you’d expect in a campervan built into a luxury Japanese limo-style people carrier. The Alphard features an automatic transmission, electric sliding side doors, and privacy glass in the back. This is the top-of-the-range G model with a 3-litre V6 Toyota engine with a reputation for running forever. It runs on both petrol and LPG. A specialist installer fitted the LPG tank/conversion in December 2020.

It has alloy wheels, self-coloured door handles, electric folding, and heated wing mirrors. It also has automatic headlights and front and rear fog lights.

The cab has grey velour captain seats, fold-down armrests, and a partial leather steering wheel. It also has a 7” Xtrons infotainment unit with Android apps, Bluetooth, DAB radio, a CD player, and a satnav. All the steering wheel controls – volume, phone, etc.- work as they should.

When parked, the passenger seat swivels to face the rear. The pop-up roof has two side-opening flyscreen vents/windows. The kitchen features a Vitrifrigo fridge/freezer, a sink, and a two-burner hob. Storage is above and below.

There is a large ’wardrobe’ storage area with a tambour door. Additional storage can be accessed from the rear and under the bed/seat. Further storage is available in the seat backs, sliding door and side panel. A detachable table extends the kitchen surface and is ideal for dining and laptop surfing.

Lighting is fitted into the pop-up roof and below the top kitchen shelf, and this camper comes with a 12” Cello TV with fitted ariel. To keep you cosy in winter, a diesel space heater is fitted below the bench seat with a small tank behind the driver’s chair.

The two-seater sofa converts into a compact double bed.

Power comes from the leisure battery, fitted below the wardrobe, an electric hook-up cable and a good-quality rigid solar panel on the roof. Inside are plenty of USB charging points and a three-pin plug for when hooked up.

The 12-litre fresh and waste water tanks are at the back of the kitchen and can be accessed via the sliding door on the off side.

A drive-away awning is included to extend the living space.

The bodywork is in great condition, but the rear bumper has a few scrapes/scratches. It is booked for its annual habitation service next week. I don’t anticipate any issues, but if there are, they’ll be dealt with.
