Ford camper van. Anyone know anything about them?

Mum and dad have just rung. They've bought a 1993 Ford Grantuso 5 berth camper van. 2.5D. LHD. They've asked me to look on the internet for information. None. The only stuff found for grantuso is in spanish.

I'm guessing it is a transit based thing. When I asked this I got the answer "it has a bed over the cab". Feminine logic there.

What do you think? Good or bad?

can't think it'll be based on anyting but a transit. so good i'd say.
although the camper body probably isn't built by ford

Sounds right. They'll take a chassis cab and bolt the caravan bit onto it.

Are there any problems to look out for on a transit of this age? Are Ford service rates reasonable?

My Ford camper isn't Transit based!!

I've seen those Grantuso things on a Japanese Auction website. I'll have a look.......
