All euro 5 vans had to be registered by September 2016. Renault had hundreds of euro 5 vans pre registered at the end of 2016. I bought one in December 2016 with 16 miles on the clock for £6750 + vat. Sold it 6 year later for £5700.

Near enough same as in the house but have to conserve water so a quick shower ,soap up and shower off.

Shower toilet was the main thing , first thing in and everything else fitted round it.
No way I would have a van without one.

Hello group

New member here today stubbled across the group from reading people blogs

Just won my first van at auction due to
Collect on Friday it’s a Renault Master 2016 Ex Ambulance patient transfer vehicle

If any one has any suggestions regarding if I can keep all wall panels and the installed floor and cover it from there with vinyl or stretch fabric
That you may have used would be great to hear from you

The main thing I’ve been trying to find on the internet is plans for a full pod install potential with the sizes I know it’s a long shot and I have seen some being sold on Etsy but not for my model

I’ll try to attach a screen grab of the layout option I’m hoping to achieve

Have been told it’s being decommissioned before my collection

Veichle details below

• 
  Year: 2016 | Reg: 65

Welcome and good luck with the build.
That van was converted by Blue Light Services, the AMF ramp, the 2 Intap seats, the flip up and tip and turn have got some value, I’d look at selling them on eBay or similar. I wouldn’t expect much in the way of insulation behind the panels. The floor will be plywood overlaid with vinyl and the rails are held down with mate bolts, try and leave that if you can otherwise you’ll be left with a fair few holes to fill. I take it that decommissioning before collection is removal of the blue lights, sirens and maybe the Battenberg decals? How are you getting on with the oil/water leak?

Good Morning Blue Moon

Thanks for all that amazing information it was decommissioned pretty crudely and unfortunately lost the rear camera as was in the light bar some pics below

Did you have one like mine ?
There’s normal house insulation behind the wall panels should I add more I didn’t really want to remove the wall panels have some swatches delivered for stretch carpet

Definitely looking to remove the ramp and try to recoup some money to put wards the spray costs were going for Graphene Grey

As for the leak I have the parts they have been posted to a machinc in wales who’s hopefully fitting this week Thursday and we’ll look to get it back as soon as possible hopefully not as bad as first thought fingers crossed below is some pictures on collection after decommissioned and a picture of a camper van that I’m basing all
My dreams on let’s see how close I can get or if I go bankrupt lol

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for the reply
Any ideas what a ramp like mine should roughly achieve

Hi Ryan,

No I haven’t got an ex-ambulance Moho. I work in that industry and supply the ramps, seats, flooring etc, I ve done it for over 25 years. The ramp and seats are not going to earn you a fortune but they’ve a value to someone. Plenty of people have done what you are doing and sold these parts on eBay / faceache marketplace etc. Every little helps in a self build I’d guess.

If the lights etc have been removed get some gaffer tape over the holes quickly before water starts to get inside. They’ll probably have left all the wires dangling, check all relevant fuses have been removed or power supplies at the battery are disconnected before you drive it home.

Are you planning on painting the van another colour or keeping the Ambulance Sulphur Yellow paint scheme? If repainting then that’s the time to get the holes you won’t require filled properly.

I’ve just read my previous post and the floor rails are fixed with mate CSK bolts and penny washers underneath not “mate” bolts. If you can leave the rails in, I know they can look a bit unsightly but you can get a rubber infill for them from Stedall’s and they are handy for clamping stuff down.
