Simple & Stunning Self Built Renault Master Campervan VAN TOUR

[@Vangriff]

Like it but love the VW

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

We are the same!! Although it's great having an oven, a bathroom and all the room in the world. It still doesn't beat an old Volkswagen 😄😄

[@mindvloggingadventures]

Cool video and nice van! Certainly a change v.s. Fergus. We are excited to see what you think about living in a van like this, can't wait for the next video! 😘😍

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Thanks guys 😄❤️ we can't wait to see what it's like having such a bigger van. Thanks for watching 😁😁

[@videographer_ireland]

Woo !!! Can’t wait to see your adventures!!!

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Thank you!! Good to see a bit of Ireland now 😁😁

Hi, we are about to convert our renault master. We love your layout, is there anywhere we can get all the measurements from please Any help would be amazing, thanks And enjoy your travels

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Send us an email [e-mail] and we'll take some measurements for you 😊😊

[@doomslayermax]

would of loved to see your water tanks and grey water tank since i'm struggling to find something for the same model online

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey We got our water tanks made specifically for the van. The guy that made them makes water tanks for farms and he was fit to make it to fit the van

[@mymbrain]

@doomslayermax, have you one something? I'm having same problem with my L2H2 renault master

[@deslyons1616]

Hi Shane and Anne, love your videos. Can I ask why you don't you use the Renault master after doing such a nice job?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey thanks for the comment 😊 My parents use the Renault Master and we stick to Fergus :) As much as we love the Renault for all the space and everything it has inside we prefer Fergus ❤️

[@timpadfield7839]

how the oven working out for you, i have one of them and the grill is a nightmare to get lit,

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Exactly!! We find it very hard to get lit sometimes.wefound if you light the oven for 30 seconds and then off and try the grill it will stay lit

[@conoravl]

Hey Shane and Are, love the build. Can you tell me where you got your gas cylinder box or did you build it?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey thank you!! We built the box ourselves :))

[@conoravl]

And it passed the gas inspection ok?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Yeah no problem. We have the vent in the floor and a strap to hold the bottle in place :)

[@conoravl]

@@ShaneandAneVanLife Perfect. Thank you!

[@pamelajohnnysmotorhomejourneys]

We’ll wear lads , big change from fergus .

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Just a slight jump from Fergus... BUT we are itching to get back in Fergus and continue Europe 😁😁

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

Quick question, can you reccomend a company to install solar panels on a camper, I'm considering it, we have a split relay charger and 2 lesiure batteries with Hook up, but I'm thinking solar might be handy, no more than 200watts, any tips and prices? Thanks

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey Cathal, Solar is very easy installed. If you are anyway electricaly minded its possible to fit them yourself. We fitted ours ourelf. We have fitted the Ecoworthy solar panels to both our vans. You can get them in Amazon. We think they are very good for the price. They keep our batteries always charged up.

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

@@ShaneandAneVanLife Great, OK I'll try sort them, my speciality is Emergency Services and Rescue / Amb... Not camper conversions 😬.... So I might end up subbing the job out to you guys 😝.... Thanks for the tips!

[@NikCan66]

This is excellent and whats the cost of buying such a van either new or second hand

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

I'm not to sure on the costs of buying one now in 2024

[@rosakatten]

cool van, seriously nice van build. What what the total cost of the rebuild?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Thank you! I don't know exact figure but probably in and around 10 - 12k euro perhaps :)

[@smegmadelhomme8551]

I’m six feet tall, would it be very cramped for me trying to stand up in the van ?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

I'd say you would just almost be touching the ceiling. Our friend is 6ft and he could stand but with little clearance:)

[@pyronitro]

That Van is so big, Ane is probably hiding in it somewhere. :)

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

🤣🤣🤣 Hide and seek Champion 2023 🙈 The van is much bigger than Fergus 🤣🙈

[@alessandrologlio1242]

I would like to turn my van (also renualt master) in to a camper. i was wondering how long is the bed? i'm 1,85 and i dont know if there would be enough space to lay down. Any help?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey!! So in our van we lie down from side to side and it's 174cm :)

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

Hi, loving the videos, kerp up the great work!! Question! Do you worry about the consequences of a crash, in terms of the furniture etc rushing/moving forward into the cabin in the event of a rear ending accident or a forward collision, how are they secured to avoid that?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey Cathal thanks for your comment:) Everything is fixed to multiple points in the van for example the kitchen units are secured at the back and at the bottom. Similarly the over head units are secured to the back and the top. Unfortunately we did get into an accident in our T25 van and luckily e ough nothing moved :)

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

@@ShaneandAneVanLife cool, cheers for that, if you guys are around Dublin anytime, say Hi, we picked up a van last September, loving it so far 💪... Plans aplenty for the next year 👌

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

@@cathalmccionnaith8268 absolutely. We will probably be that direction in few weeks. What part are you in? What van did you get?

[@cathalmccionnaith8268]

@@ShaneandAneVanLife We're in North County Dublin, lots of cool spots to explore and park up, so close to city also! We got a Lwb Crafter, different layout to yours, permanent bed,with storage underneath. 2 X 12v leisure battery with Hook up and inverter! Water, pump, gas etc, a tiny house on wheels

[@vanlife_norwegian_chef]

Could i ask what length of beds you have? Can you sleep comfortable like 188cm high person?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey the bed is roughly 182cm! 188cm would be a little bit of a squeeze 🙈🙈

[@vanlife_norwegian_chef]

@@ShaneandAneVanLife ah yeah so i was thinking right its better to build it lengthwise if building in that type off car

[@MrLenno24]

Hi just wondering what size solar panels you have running van

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey We have 2 130Watt solar panels on top 👍☺️

[@MrLenno24]

@@ShaneandAneVanLife perfect just starting a build on a 11 master also in Ireland . And was wondering how long would you get out off panels without hookup to mains

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

@@MrLenno24 as long as you want. We have our old Vw van and we only have 1 130W solar panel and we have never needed mains and we have lived in it for 6 months at a time. We have solar panel and spilt charge relay charging the batteries.

Hi. Van is like we are planning on doing. It’s amazing. Is it an l3h2 or l3h3? Thanks

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

L3h3 :)

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

You'll be lost with all that extra space :😜 have fun guys

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have lost Ane twice now🙈😅

[@clarkspiemuncher24]

As you have gone to such length and expense on building and fitting out the van i fail to understand why you did not go with a b2b and mppt chargers for your leisure batteries when the extra cost would be minimum on what you have already spent on kitting out the van

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey thanks for the comment. We have used the same method in our other van and seems to work well for what we need. But will take it on board and consider it for our next build.

[@clarkspiemuncher24]

@@ShaneandAneVanLife id take it on board now and retrofit the items to your current van as the products will help charge your batteries a lot quicker and keep them in a healthier state for a lot longer. the split charge relay along with pwm only charge your batteries to 80% and then just trickle charge them which means they are never fully charged and you never get the full use of your batteries and they deteriorate a lot quicker which costs you a lot more money in the long run for the sake of £200 to £300. split charge is like running a paraffin lamp when electricity has been invented

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

@@clarkspiemuncher24 thanks Mark will look into it now 👍😄

[@margaretsweeney6268]

What about a shower????, did you forget to mention it???

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Hey Margaret we didn't put a shower in the van. We didn't feel it was necessary. We have a portable one. We have lived in a much smaller van and not having a shower was no problem we just use free showers

[@MrKvnmln]

Deadly

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Thank you 😁😁

[@tchesnokovn]

What was the price of the fit out?

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

I don't have an exact figure but probably less than 9k euro for the build. Excluding buying the van👍👍
