Baskent Panzer 250

The frame had been damaged driving along the infamous Inari-Pokka road, which NATO has said must be upgraded because it is in such poor condition. The road has been in the news repeatedly. The latest update says, "The Inari-Pokka road (Seututie 955) is slated for a massive 200 million euro, 170 km total reconstruction to address severe wear, mud issues, and load limitations. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (Väylävirasto) plans to widen and pave the entire route, crucial for both NATO military mobility and local Arctic security". I am glad to report that the frame has now been repaired, as has the seal on the kitchen door.

The Baskent Panzer 250 is a Turkish-manufactured caravan focusing on essential, mobile camping rather than high-end features. It provides basic camping amenities, including a kitchen sink, and gas stove in the pop-up kitchen at the back. It is known for a small, agile footprint suitable for weekend trips. Very few have made it to Finland! This one is nearly new and was only used for two weeks in total, one week during summer 2025 and another week during autumn 2025. As such, almost everything is in mint condition, as can be seen in the many photos. This is a lightweight model that weighs only 540 kg dry, so can be easily and legally towed with a standard "B" driving license. I have to sell suddenly for personal reasons, so put the price low considering the condition and that this cost 11500€ when new less than 3 years ago. I will list the main stock features, as well as what I have added myself.

- Awning

- Parking brake

- Pop-up kitchen at the back with hasps for two padlocks

- Interior halogen lights

- Exterior halogen lights on both sides, as well as in the pop-up kitchen at the back

- Kitchen sink with running water

- 2-burner gas stove

- Diesel-fuel heater for the interior to make things cozy on frosty nights. Comes with remote control

- 2 custom-fitting mattresses

- 2 doors, one on each side, each with a lock that uses its own individual key

- 2 windows which open for fresh air

- Lots of interior cupboard space for storing clothes, tools, etc

- 2 USB plugs with LED lights for charging devices, one on each side of the interior

- Rugged off-road Jeep-style wheels with tires that are like new

Things I added or customised include:

- Removable insect-proof netting on the windows

- A refrigerator (brand new in May 2024)

- I had the hose and tap fittings for the gas stove changed to the wider (and safer) 8mm Finnish standard from the narrower stock gauge as sold in Turkey

- I had the running lights totally rewired because the stock wiring was not very high quality

- I replaced the brake lights/turn signals to Finnish standard, i.e. higher quality

- I can include 2 sets of waterproof fitted sheets that match the mattresses with soft pile texture. 1 set is still brand new in the package
