Appa – Compact yet spacious bus camper

I have been thinking about converting a van into a camper myself for a long time. In the summer of 2019 I came across this Renault Master, a solid bus with a spacious loading space, which is still quite compact and easy to keep up with in traffic. Since then I have been busy converting the bus into a camper with all the basic necessities to travel comfortably.

When I am not using the camper myself, I rent it out to let others experience the freedom that a camper offers.

The camper van has a kitchenette with;
- tap with foot pump
- sink
- clean and waste water tank (both 25L)
- one-burner camping stove

Further;
- sofa bed (extendable into a bed of 140x190, ample storage space under the sofa)
- wall cabinets for extra storage space
- storage space above the cabin
- 40L electric cool box (12 volts)
- porta potti 365
- roof hatch for daylight and ventilation (with blackout / fly screen)

The camper has a solar panel and a battery for charging the lights, smartphones, laptops, etc

With some attention to electricity and water consumption, it is perfectly possible to travel completely off-grid.

* the photos are somewhat outdated, some upgrades have now been made to the bus (such as a new ceiling and extra storage cupboards)

Any desired inventory is possible in consultation, for example crockery and cooking utensils.
