My Custom 2009 Vauxhall Movano / Renault Master Campervan/Motorhome Conversion: Full Video Tour

It’s come time to sell my lovely yacht styled custom campervan/motorhome build and I’ve taken the opportunity while at a local music festival to do a quick video van tour. I’ll show you all the features and give you an idea of the layout too. You get to see how easy it is to convert the seating into a double bed and also some of the bespoke and innovative features in the kitchen. I also show you the rear garage and underneath the van where the water tanks are.
