That Campervan Life

Our Vehicle “Little Bus”

Little Bus is a 2022 Renault Master Van converted by Jayco into a Campervan. (The RM19-1) Its grey and 6.1M long (19 feet) and 2.7m high.

Little Bus is our sanctuary, our habitat, our home, our car. It is fully self contained but as we generally move on everyday we have the opportunity to recharge and refill as we go so it’s more suitable for moving rather than staying in one place for longer than a few days.

Features

It does have the 100L freshwater tank, 60L grey tank, 20L black tank integrated into the toilet, we also carry 35L of fresh drinking water in Jerry cans, this we use for everyday drinking and cooking.

It has the combined shower/toilet, hot water system, bench seating in the back converts into a double/queen bed, twin gas cooker, sink, aircon and microwave (both on 240 volts only)

It’s easy to drive, and with it’s small 2.3L turbo diesel, we get around 9.2L per 100km mixed touring and around town.

The automated manual gearbox gets a little bit of getting used to, it still has a clutch plate but no clutch pedal and you can manually change gears. It has no park gear only drive, reverse and neutral, sitting on 100-110km/h on cruise is a breeze without the engine straining, no excessive road noise or rattling.
