Lacquer Peel Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 This seems cheap, and is the "full fat" 2.8 TD job. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-MASTER-2-8td-CAMPERVAN-CAMPER-DRIVES-FLAWLESS-/111698113967 Ideally you want a Trafic 1.6D though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-RENAULT-TRAFIC-AS-CAMPER-MOTOR-CARAVAN-1647cc-82976-MOT-18-09-15-Diesal-/161728780788 DVee8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave21478 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 That Master looks like a good deal at first glance, but there is no water system at all.....no tanks, no sink, no water heater, nowt. No fridge either and no cooker, just a wee camping stove. In fact, its just a normal van with a load of cupboards in the back and a few mains sockets. Depends what you are looking for, but thats starting to look kinda dear for a van with no equipment. The Td autsleeper is a proper camper with all the gear and the luxury* of a chemical shitter too. The 2.5 is half-way between the two - has cooker and fridge and filler for a water tank but I see no vent for a water heater - might be cold water only. But I am always suspicious of the old "bought it, never used it and am now selling it" thing from anyone who is not an autoshiter. Reading between the lines it sounds like it might have problems.

Lacquer Peel Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Is 1991 too early for an XUD 1.9TD? Is it Fiat's 1.9TD?As long as it has enough power to pull itself and a Perkins-powered SEAT 124 on an A frame it doesn't matter.

Keymaster Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 My mate Simon runs a business repairing Talbot Express campers. He is never short of work!!! Defo worth having a look at the pics of the jobs he posts up on his website to see where they all rot out. He also has a 2.5td LHD for sale but no price on it. www.customcampersuk.co.uk BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The garage where my son worked once spent the best parts of two-three weeks welding up one of those 1991-ish Citroen/Peugeot camper vans. It was eye wateringly rotten, it seems the front end suffers the most, especially inner/outer wings and round the windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
