2002 Renault Traffic SWB Campervan

Description

Got this old Renault Traffic SWB campervan sitting in my garage in Hartfield, Wealden, and I’ve been meaning to part with it after using it for nearly 20 years. It’s one owner since new, and I’ve had it serviced at the same garage for almost two decades — timing belt replaced twice exactly when recommended. Runs smooth, drives like a car, and hasn’t had a single major issue.

It’s got 114,000 miles, next MOT due April 2026. Manual 6-speed gearbox, so it’s not fancy, but it’s solid and easy to handle. I’ve driven it across the UK and all over Europe — no breakdowns, no dramas. Perfect for a couple who like to explore or just want a reliable, simple place to stay.

It comes with a Vango drive-away awning and all the gear, plus a Fiamma twin bike rack. The roof was professionally fitted by Country Campers in Kent, and the interior was all self-built by the original owner — it’s got a bit of character, and I love that. Inside, there’s a 12V/240V fridge, sink, twin burner gas hob, reversible front seats, electric hook-up cable, and a Thetford porta-potti. Nighttime? Thermal window blinds for the windscreen and sides.

It’s designed for two people, with a double bed — not a huge space, but it’s cosy and comfortable. I’ve only ever used it at campsites with electric hook-ups, so I never replaced the leisure battery when it went flat — that’s probably why it’s not listed under “Cars” or “Motorhomes” anymore; the road tax expired in July.

It’s not flashy, but it’s been trusted, used, and loved over the years. If you’re looking for something reliable and practical with a bit of soul, this might just be the one. Price’s £6,300 — happy to chat if you’re interested.
