Organ campers can sometimes metastasize into something originally
unintended.

I owned a non-organ diesel camper many years ago, and do not recommend them
in their original 1.6L NA configuration.  If it's a 1.6L or 1.9L
turbodiesel, then I'd jump on it, but the NA engines just don't produce
safe levels of modern vehicle performance
