Hi folks,
I bought this one of a kind vehicle, for a ski season 4 years ago and have been living it ever since! Its done me very well being a home and making couple of trips to and fro, from the French Alps to Ireland and around some festivals in between.
I have done a lot of work to it, inside and out and have been slowly refining it along the way. To be honest its not truly finished and may never well be if I keep a hold of it!.. but its been a brilliant journey together and its come a long way from the shell of a truck that I bought.
I must say that it is mostly equipped for being plugged in on mains, but its got some of the essentials for off grid too.
IMPORTANT: Currently being lived in, in Chamonix, France until mid April. * BUYER MUST COLLECT THEN! *
Available for viewing on weekends, contact for more info.
So here’s the good the bad and the ugly of it…
THE GOOD:
It was built to be an Irish electricity utility work vehicle.
Shes a 1998 Renault B120 TRUCK, witch is essentially a messenger/master/ Iveco and built by volvo. (not by the renault car group!!)
Only 111800 Kms
Oil change, fuel and oil filter change, axle oil change, less than 5k ago.
2.5l turbocharged, inter-cooled engine All wheel drive, 5 speed .
Hi and low box, with a rear axle diff lock and a transfer box diff lock.
Its a ‘traveling machine’ with a ‘blank’ weight on the log book and has Irish plates.
Technically, she can take up to 7.5 tonne, but is definatly over 3,5 tonne.. but not on log book (v5) though, its been left blank.. its bit odd,. have got a loose plate saying 2.8 and that passed several European and swiss checkpoints on my car liscense though!! haha..
Most of the machinery was taken off and replaced with the box, although the compressor tank and hydrolic pump remain but are not connected.
The box is fiberglass coated 1/4inch ply with an alluminium frame and sheet allyunium roof.
It has 50mm insulation in the walls and 20mm insulation in the ceiling and in the floor, with another 1/4 inch ply on the floor and on walls and then 8mm tongue and groove on ceiling. Plus the laminate flooring. Solid!
This gives you an internal space of 2 x 2 x 4.25 meters, excluding the cab.
2 diesel tanks (only 1 connected)
Under coated and no châssis or serious bodywork rust.
3 skyights, 1 non opening.
1 large window.
4 ring gas burner with 1 wok (double ring) burner.
Electric oven/ grill.
Stainless sink with tap plumbed in.
80l Internal tank, ( to protect from freezing) with 12v pump plumbed in.
Semi wired in, with external plug in, fuse box, 3x double brittish plug sockets and lights coming off mains power.
1x 120amp hr leisure battery connected to pump and lights
5 x led 3w down lights on 3 circuits, so 7/8 options
Very efficient wood burning stove.
Lots of storage,. made to fit kayak under sofa..
Double bed
19’’ flush wall tv monitor.
12v/240v Coolbox
Crawl through space from back to cab.
Surprisingly good on fuel… it just dosn’t go that fast!.. 50-60 mph
2 external storage lockers
tow bar
THE BAD:
No toilet facility's
Only one of the large skylights is double glazed the others suffer a bit of condensation in cold weather.
Only 2 seats with belts.
Not fully off grid electrically equipt.
Although the large kitchen window is plastic double glazed and does a great job.. I once got shot at!.. and there is a 9mm hole in it (sealed with silacone)
Irish registered as a traveling machine?... although this may be a benefit to someone..
Hasn't been taxed or mot'd for a long time.
THE UGLY:
The roof has been cut a few times to change stove positions, and for skylights..(still 100% watertight though!)
Rear door has a bit of a gap at the bottom.. buut.. if you fix that then you need to put in more co2 vents in don’t you??.. up to you..
So, the cab and the box move independently. To join the two, and so to classify it as camper, theres a rubber-seal crawl through gap. Cab suffers a bit of condensation as a result.
Since I have had it, there has been a ratchet strap supporting one of the diesel tanks. ( a small bit of welding would fix it though)
*BUYER MUST COLLECT FROM; CHAMONIX, FRANCE.. IN MID APRIL!!!*
