Campervan for sale (Renault Master 2004 with a new engine)

Sad but true, but it’s time to sell our beloved campervan. For the last years it has been our home on our climbing trips. We bought and built it in 2012 and since then we have driven almost 50 000 km around Europe. Most of the trips have been just weekend trips, but the car is very nice also for longer trips. The shower and heating system make living very comfortable. The longest time we have lived in the car has been two months in a row. 

The car is old, but as we bought a new engine to the car in 2013, I dare say it still has a lot of kilometers ahead. We have now driven 27 000 km with the new engine.

We have already got some questions from our friends who are wondering why are we selling the car. There are basically two reasons. The first one is that we don’t need it anymore. We have been climbing 4 days a week since we moved to Austria, and the longest we have been climbing so far is about 85 km from Mödling. It’s a bit pointless to have a campervan when driving home usually takes less than half an hour. It’s like living in Helsinki and having a campervan for climbing at Rollarit. Or living in Umeå and using a campervan at Vallberget. Of course, this probably will change for us in the future, but for the next few years it’s hard to see the need for a big campervan.

The second reason is that now we have possibility to buy a new car through Anu’s work, and in many ways it would be stupid not to use this possibility. However, having two cars is not the best option at the moment, so unfortunately it’s time to sell the van.

-Gas heater with two elements (i.e., two different power levels); temperature can also be adjusted by opening sunroofs and ventilation ducts. In -30 degrees below zero, the bed is easily still at + 20 ° C! 
-Gas alarm

Ventilation:

-We can also discuss selling the van without camping gear. The car is also suitable as e.g. a moving truck. 

Faults: 

-AC exists, but does not work 
-Chair heater for the driver does not work 
-Locks operate with a remote control, but there are some problems in opening the driver's door and the back door manually. We have not had any problems as the two keys with remote controls are fine

At the moment, the car is located in Mödling, next to Vienna.
