Renault Trafic T1000 Camper Van

Renault Trafic T1000 Camper Van

'Shire Leader'

Professionally converted by 'Shire Coachcraft' of Grimsby

I unfortunately have to sell my Renault Trafic T1000 Campervan due to a sudden unforeseen change in circumstances..

This is a really nice, modern looking, professional conversion by 'Shire Coachcraft' of Grimsby. Its very similar in spec to an Auto Sleeper conversion, but without the hefty price tag that an Autosleeper seems to command!

This campervan is based on a long wheel base hi-top so you have a decent amount of space and no stooping in and out of the back doors! (Take a look at most Trafic Campervans and they are short wheel base models with a hi top or pop up added afterwards, this means much less room inside and small back doors!)

I'll try to describe the camper as best I can, and have included as many photos of it as possible. Each of these is 'clickable' to see a larger version. If there any other photo's you would like, please email me and I will get some more done.

Additional 'Sunnflair' Awning

Very good condition Sunnflair freestanding awning complete with poles, guy ropes, pegs, instructions, bag and groundsheet (not shown). Easy to erect, fixes onto the side guttering of the campervan. It has pvc windows to three sides with curtains. It's also totally closable from the campervan side too, so could be left as a freestanding unit (although its not strictly as 'drive-away' as newer type awnings are as it would need uncoupling from campervan gutter).

Documentation / Receipts / Instruction Books

Bills are supplied from previous owners back to 1996. These cover items such as tires, exhaust, clutch, cambelt, brake shoes, steering rack etc. You can see from this that the previous owners have looked after this van and been meticulous with the servicing and maintenance of it.

Other Information

The campervan is 100% waterproof and there's no damp anywhere. It's very clean and tidy inside - I had the carpets and soft furnishings professionally cleaned when I bought it. Since we bought the campervan we've fitted a brand new roof light top and a brand new RDS Stereo Radio Cassette player.

In the time I've been using the campervan it has never let me down, its a pleasure to drive and always gets waves from fellow campers!

As far as I am aware everything works as it should, on a recent trip to the lakes we tested hot water, fridge, stove, grille, heater etc.

Bodywork is in reasonable condition for the age, bearing in mind this camper is fifteen years old. There are a some rust spots, but nothing too major to worry about, the underneath is solid. As you can see from the photo's it's a good looking van, but I will be honest, it has had some paintwork done in the past (by previous owners) so if you wanted it to be perfect again a quick respray would make it look superb.

We have had the campervan valued by a local motorhome dealer who has valued it at over £4000 and as such they have offered to sell the campervan on their forecourt on our behalf. As a result, the camper is therefore subject to being withdrawn from sale at any time without prior notice.

Examples of similar models 1 / 2 / 3

Please feel free to come and take a look at the campervan evenings after 6.30 and all day Saturday. I live in Apperley Bridge on the outskirts of Leeds/Bradford. The camper can be viewed by prior arrangement only and any test drives will be undertaken subject to providing necessary insurance cover (without this I will have to take you out for a drive).

I accept Pay Pal but if you wanted to pay by Pay Pal I would have to ask for an extra 3% of price to cover Pay Pal charges. Otherwise a personal cheque (allowed to clear), Bankers Draft, or cash is fine.

Thanks for looking, any questions at all, please email me at ...................................

Tip if you are looking for insurance quotes, I have found the best to be the Caravan Club or Adrian Flux.
