I am looking at a camper conversion built on a 1997 Series 80 Landcruiser with the 4.2 1HD-FT Diesel 24V turbocharged engine. The rig is in the UK and appears to be in excellent shape.
I had paid a forum member $200 for 2 hrs of consulting helping me with the pre-purchase due diligence on...
Couple of links to establish provenance.
1. I purchased my XP from Joe and Josee. See their amazing travels on their site at https://joeandjoseesjourney.com/ . The XP is prominently featured in their early years of travel. They are still at it and are currently somewhere in Thailand. I am...
Bill. I encourage you to stay on the forum and keep asking the questions you have been asking. I, for one, have found your contributions way more valuable and constructive than those of the legions of failed stand-up comedians who infest this forum.
Additional questions and my responses:

Thank you Mike. The option space is rich and varied. I am sanguine about the prospects of finding something, which while not perfect, will meet the needs of our next stage of travels.

EDITED TITLE: I added the word Nimbl to the vehicle because like all the other "Nimbls" posted in this forum, this too is an XPCampert that has been re-badged as a Nimbl.
To respond to some questions i received by PM, a true "Nimbl" camper would have the following distinguishing...
