Knaus BoxDrive VW Crafter

For Sale

contact: simon@medex.org.uk




We bought this excellent Knaus BoxDrive VW Crafter long wheel based spacious van from its original owner in November 2021.

Bought for a winter ski trip to Europe. 

This is a very high specification van and we prepared for a winter trip by adding a set of winter tyres (currently fitted) 
The original summer tyres are also available and have been driven approx 20,000 miles.



The large double bed has excellent stowage beneath it and this bed can be locked in the raised position to provide sufficient space to accommodate bicycles within the van. There are anchor points in the luggage store and removable partitions.
