Renault Trafic Campervan Insurance

The Renault Trafic has become one of the UK’s most popular campervan bases and for good reason. Its adaptable interior, reliable mechanics, and comfortable driving experience make it ideal for conversions of all sizes.

However, once your Trafic is converted into a campervan, it’s no longer a standard commercial van. Specialist campervan insurance is needed to recognise the value of your build, your intended use, and the modifications you’ve made.

At Just Kampers Insurance, we arrange policies that cover:

• Bespoke camper interiors and conversion fixtures
• Leisure use and touring journeys
• Optional extras like contents cover and agreed value protection
• Flexible options for part-built or completed campervans

Our specialist approach ensures you get cover that suits your Trafic and your lifestyle, not a one-size-fits-all policy.

Yes, the Renault Trafic is widely regarded as a reliable and practical base for campervan conversions. Its strengths include:

• Spacious interior suitable for beds, kitchens, and storage
• Comfortable driving characteristics are more like a car than a van
• Reliable mechanicals with broadly available parts and servicing
• Good payload capacity for conversions with heavier fittings

Because the Trafic balances everyday usability with conversion potential, it’s popular with both first-time builders and experienced vanlifers alike.

Trafic campervans work well for:

• Weekend escapes
• Touring holidays
• Seasonal travel
• Full-time van life setups

Its combination of size and driveability puts it in the sweet spot for many campervan owners.

The Renault Trafic is available in multiple wheelbase and length configurations, giving you flexibility when planning your conversion.

Common options include:

• L1 Short Wheelbase (SWB) measuring 3,098 mm,
• L2 Long Wheelbase (LWB) at 3,498 mm.

These options correspond to shorter and longer overall body lengths, typically referred to as L1 and L2, and they also feature varying roof heights (H1/H2) to enhance versatility in load capacity.

Height varies depending on the roof option chosen, which has a direct impact on headroom and living comfort.

• H1 (Standard Roof): Roughly 1,971 mm (just under 2 meters), ideal for areas with height restrictions.
• H2 (High Roof): About 2,495 mm to 2,498 mm, providing considerably more internal space.

Common Combinations (Length x Height)

• L1H1: Short Wheelbase, Standard Roof (for instance, 5.2m³ load volume).
• L1H2: Short Wheelbase, High Roof.
• L2H1: Long Wheelbase, Standard Roof.
• L2H2: Long Wheelbase, High Roof (for example, up to 8.9m³ load volume).

These height choices, paired with various lengths, create a wide range of load capacities and usability, catering to everything from compact day van conversions to fully kitted out van life conversions.

For many converters, the choice between standard and high roofs is about balancing interior comfort with ease of driving and parking. The Trafic’s compact dimensions make it a practical campervan that can also access tighter parking areas.

Yes, parts availability for the Renault Trafic is strong across the UK and Europe. As a widely used commercial vehicle, Trafic mechanical and body parts are readily available through main dealers, independent suppliers, and specialist retailers.

This means:

• Routine servicing and maintenance are straightforward
• Replacement parts for conversions (windows, electrics, fittings) are easy to source
• Specialist campervan accessories are widely compatible

The broad availability of parts helps keep running costs manageable and ensures your campervan stays on the road.

Yes, you do. Once your Trafic has been converted into a campervan, it’s treated differently from a standard van or panel vehicle. Specialist campervan insurance ensures that:

• The value of your conversions and fittings is recognised
• Leisure and touring use (not just commercial or commuting) is reflected
• You have access to benefits like agreed value cover, contents protection, and breakdown options

Standard van insurance often won’t fully cover modified interiors, built-in fixtures, or how you use your vehicle on holiday. Specialist campervan insurance closes those gaps and gives you the protection you need when travelling, camping, or on the road.

We’ve been arranging specialist campervan insurance since 1998, and our team includes camper enthusiasts who understand what makes a campervan unique, whether it’s a self-build, a professional conversion, or a custom interior.
