Kastenwagen von Éva

Why choose this van?

Travel with ease in this converted van!

Easy to drive, this Renault Trafic is equipped with a fully removable setup, providing everything you need for a comfortable trip.

Its advantages:

• Versatile: It can go anywhere and is easy to park in city centers, beachfront parking lots, or even underground garages.

• Two sleeping areas: A double bed at the back, suitable for people up to 1.95m tall, and an additional bed at the front, shaped to fit the dashboard, ideal for one person up to 1.58m tall.

• Economical: Low fuel consumption thanks to the 6th gear.

• Comfortable and practical: A removable conversion kit to optimize space during the day and allow sleeping along the length of the van at night.

• Storage: Plenty of storage space, sufficient for three people.

• Cooling: A cooler to keep drinks and food fresh (4°C), rechargeable at campsites (approximately €20 per night for a pitch with electricity) or motorhome areas (a cheaper option, around €8 every three days depending on usage). The charging kit is provided.

• Kitchen: A gas stove with two burners, plus a cookware and tableware set.

• Hygiene: Two water jugs with a spray hose for doing dishes and taking a shower (after a swim or a hike, showering outdoors is a real treat!).

• Convenience: A cigarette lighter socket with two USB ports to charge phones and a phone holder for navigation.

• Ventilation: A small clip-on fan, rechargeable via USB.

Its limitations:

• No toilet: On vacation, you’ll always find a bar or public restrooms. Otherwise, nature is always an option!

• No air conditioning: However, when sleeping outside at night, it never gets too hot, even during a heatwave, as there is no heat retention like in a house. A sleeping bag is always a good idea.

• Heat: Plan to drive early in the morning or later in the day.

• Modular mattress: The mattress consists of several sections, perfect for a nomadic experience. However, for those with specific needs regarding support or comfort (e.g., back pain), adding a mattress topper might be helpful.

• CD player only: Remember to bring a Bluetooth speaker if you have one.

I highly recommend giving it a try! Personally, I can’t get enough of it. :)
