We chose an Iveco Daily for our overland trip from London to Africa because it satisfied the following criteria:
• 4x4 with high ground clearance
• Not computerised and therefore easier to fix if anything goes wrong
• sufficiently large for us to live and sleep inside

We bought our truck in October 2011, gutted the interior and spent 9 months preparing it for our overland trip.

Our truck features:
• 150 x 200 cm bed that is stored on the ceiling during the day and lowered with mattress and mosquito net already in place
• Fold out table and seating for 2 inside the truck
• Sink with tap and separate drinking water tap
• Waterproof Toilet / shower space
• Lots of storage space
• Lights and electrical power

The truck has been fully insulated with double layered silver bubble insulation and 3 cm yellow foam board. It has a pop up roof vent and 3 windows in the living space. There is a reinforced area on the roof for storage. Tools and spares are accessed via an external large locker.

Prior to departure in August 2012, we replaced the following items:
• gearbox
• alternator
• cambelt and bearings
• clutch
• main oil seal
• injectors
• exhaust
• brake discs and pads
• battery
• 4 x shock absorbers

We bought the following items which are included in the sale price:
• rotating Recaro seats
• 70 litre water tank and 2 x 20 litre plastic jerry cans
• 3 stage filter system for drinking water - incl shurflo pump and general ecology filter
• cooker with gas connection inside and outside the truck and 14kg gas bottle
• 40 litre Engel fridge / freezer
• 2 x 75 amp hours gel leisure batteries
• 8 x clear storage boxes (ranging from 18 - 35 litres)
• 7 x black wolf storage boxes
• full set of cooking equipment
• 220 watt inverter
• National Luna split charger and battery monitor
• Gravity shower
• 7 x 12 volt electrical sockets
• 3 x 3 metre awning
• 2 x outdoor chairs and 1 fold up table
• £1000 worth of spare parts including: head gasquet set; alternator; wheel bearings; and full set of water hoses.
• 200 piece tool kit and lots of other tools
• high lift jack
• bottle jack
• £400 worth of towing / rescue gear including: chains; strops and kinetic rope.
• 1 x spare wheel and tyre
• 1 x spare tyre
• 2 x large, thick waffle boards
• 2 x 20 litre metal jerry cans
• 50 litre spare fuel tank fixed under truck
• Plus many more items

Since we started our journey in August 2012, the truck has been running very well with only minor repairs needed. Fuel consumption is 8 to 9 km per litre. We have changed all transfer oils every 20,000 km. We have changed the oil and diesel filters and replaced the oil every 10,000 km. The 4 wheel drive (low and high ratio gears) and rear differential lock are mechanically sound and are used on a weekly basis.

We are happy we chose the perfect vehicle for our journey and kitted it out with everything we could possibly need. We are selling it because we are reaching the end of our trip and don't need a 4x4 in England. This truck has many more years of life left in it!

Please feel free to e mail us for more information or with any questions and look at Views from the Road for photos of our truck.
