Lovingly converted 2014 Renault Trafic with all the bells and whistles needed to get straight out and enjoy this autumn. This was an electricians van for most of her life and then has been my camper and daily driver since Jan 2023, meaning that the she’s never been sat around gathering rust. Recently had work done by Renault themselves and got MOT until April 2025. Renault recently replaced engine cooling fan, 12v battery, DPF injector and ECU which now all have warranty until early 2025.

The van has mostly been used for surf trips and already has all the van life essentials (details below). She is running perfectly and I opted for tried and trusted brands for all camper electronics, which are top of the range (details below). This is a great van for someone wanting to get into van life and get straight out onto the road with no additional work needed and 6 months of MOT / part warranty. The van has a lot more character than the ‘airplane interior’ style professionally converted ones, and also features a few really nice custom touches that were a labour of love from my dad who is a brilliant carpenter, such as a very clever bed setup and a custom-made black walnut chopping board integrated into the counter top. Very big battery and solar for the amount of appliances, meaning that I’ve never been remotely concerned about running out of power.
Bed: Clever bed design keeps a small profile (1/3 of the bed width) whilst in bench mode, but expands to cover the entire back of the cabin when in bed mode. Easily sleeps 2 and is very comfy! For you tall people out there this may be one of the only small vans you can stretch out in, as we made it so that I (6ft3) can comfortably sleep in the back! Custom made pillows and heating / cooling make it a comfortable night sleep any time of year
Van features:
– Very nice 2 burner hob
– Kitchen has all the essentials: Locking pull out draw with wind cover, pots, pans, cooking utensils set, chopping board + knife set, cutlery, cups, washing up equipment. Lovely handmade stained black walnut chopping board.
