    I am the most critical person when it comes conversions, as people want to reinvent the wheel, but yours is good, everything makes sense. I don't like alloys, but that's okay, I have an 08 Vivaro bought/converted in 2015 and love it after 150+ nights. In the mountains you put it in 4th and you are almost driving an auto, the engine is so flexible and gearing perfect. It is much better than the T4/5 in every way and as you say much cheaper to run + no timing belt. I have a rock and roll bed because like you I am 6 foot and didn't think I would fit, but I travel with the missus, so easier and don't need the van for work.
    I like the black, but not where I live in Portugal where white is cooler in the sun. But a good job, simple and does exactly what you want it to do. I am envious of the LWB, the guy I bought it off was upgrading to LWB, bah!!!..but never mind. Thanks for sharing and enjoy you outdoor activities.

      Thank you. I love day vans, they are so practical and for me, as with many people, simple is better. I sold the van to a young couple with a dog and they travel all over with it. Hope you have many more good nights out with yours.

    Lovely, honest review. Looking for a day van to take DIY gear over to France (property repairs), and camping in UK with dog and/or trail bike. Renault looks good.

      Thanks. They're good reliable and rust free vans with plentiful spares and easy to work on. I found the bed idea great as it can stay in and use it as a works van at the same time.

    5:50 Rock and roll bed/seats apparently are NOT comfortable
    to sit or sleep in. They compromise both facets.

    I wouldnt have put car wheels on a van to be honest. DVSA are now coming down hard on vans the pull over for spot tests if they have non load rated car wheels or tyres. Where I live now ive seen DVSA and VOSA operating at lot. If they find a van with non load rated wheels or tyres they can seize the vehicle until the correct rated wheels and tyres are put on it. Plus non compliance can render a 2K fine. I do love the graphics you did and those lights "eyebrows" have personalised the van nicely.

      Yes, plod seem to have a bee in thier bonnets now about this, and insurance companies have cottoned onto the fact and are refusing claims.

    У меня грузопассажир. Измерил расстояние от борта до борта. 1 метр 77 сантиметров. У меня рост 1,83. Маловата кровать, если делать её поперёк.
    Сделал раскладную 2 метра.

      My Trafic was the 115bhp. The 18" BMW wheels fit nice but you need the wobble bolts to fit them correctly.

      Hi, all in mine cost about £250 - £300 for materials. That's the timber for the bed, sound insulation, insulation , carpet and vinyl flooring.
