Hi Rojie, Van is already converted, it is a 54 plate, so is early model. It is a side conversion. https://www.fantasticcampervans.co.uk/used-toyota-alphard-fife-scotland-4013964 Mileage is about 38000, so low (I guess). The quoted clearance online is 157mm (so pretty good measurement by you!). I am not sure how much clearance I will need - I'm not really thinking of driving places I woudn't drive with my Vauxhall Zafira which has a smaller clearance. However, I think that what is concerning me more is the approach and departure angles rather than the clearance. I can't find data for those. The problem is the shape at the front which doesn't rise up as most cars do. Looking forward to many a trip iin it (if I can pick up the courage to actually buy it!). Ian

Hi. Not quite but nearly. I am very close to buying one from fantastic campers. We live in Perth (Scotland, not the other one). My only concern is how low they are. Have you had any issues with the front end grounding? Thanks.

Hi all. I am a hair's breadth away from purchasing a 2004 Alphard campervan. The only thing stopping me is my concern about the low ground clearance particularly at the front. Our travels will be including the nearby Scottish Highlands and Islands and I worry about the front of the van grounding on uneven remote roads or when getting on and off ferries. Can anyone put my mind at ease or give me useful advice? Thanks.
