A 2002 Ford Iveco Cargo delivery truck, purchased for £5,500, has been converted into a luxury motorhome. The project was completed by British carpenter Guy Williams in 12 weeks during lockdown. It features five berths, a kitchen, shower room, a hidden jacuzzi under the living room floor, and a cinema setup. The vehicle is used as a full-time home and rented out; a £1-per-ticket raffle aims to raise £150,000 for a workshop.
