What defines the Leisuredrive Renoir layout?
The Leisuredrive Renoir is a British-built campervan, typically based on the Renault Trafic, featuring a distinctive walk-through layout and a rear kitchen. It accommodates between 2 and 4 berths within a 4.99m length, offering a 560kg payload and a choice of roof styles.
- Walk-through central aisle layout for improved interior flow.
- Rear-fitted kitchen featuring hand-built cabinetry.
- Leisuredrive lay-flat bed system designed for comfort.
- Integrated Dometic cassette toilet system.
- Choice of elevating roof or high-top configurations.
Worth knowing: Storage capacity may be more limited than traditional side-kitchen layouts. Cooking is restricted to the rear of the vehicle. Safety specifications vary significantly between older 90s models and modern builds.
Buying a Leisuredrive Renoir
Who it suits
- Couples or small families seeking a 2 to 4 berth van with an open central aisle.
- Tourers who prefer a rear kitchen layout over the standard side-conversion.
- Buyers looking for a mid-sized van with a 3010kg MTPLM.
Reasons to consider it
- The lay-flat bed system avoids the discomfort of standard rock-and-roll seats.
- A 4.99m length provides a balance between living space and road manoeuvrability.
- British craftsmanship with a heritage dating back to the 90s.
What to check
- Confirm the specific base vehicle as both Renault and Vauxhall platforms are used.
- Verify the roof type as both pop-top and high-roof versions exist.
- Inspect the condition of the hand-built cabinetry in older models.
Worth knowing: Payload of 560kg must be managed carefully when fully loaded for 4 people. The 2.1m height may restrict access to some height-limited car parks.
Compare the Leisuredrive Renoir with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leisuredrive Renoir | 4 | 3010 kg | 4.99 m | £12,000 to £58,000 |
| Nissan Elgrand | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.85 m | £12,000 to £35,000 |
| Ford Ford Transit SWB | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.97 m | £8,000 to £45,000 |
The Leisuredrive Renoir occupies a specific niche in the UK market with its 4.99m length and walk-through layout. While alternatives like the Volkswagen Transporter offer higher price ceilings and different brand recognition, the Renoir focuses on a practical rear-kitchen configuration and a dedicated flat-bed system. Its 3010kg MTPLM and 560kg payload are competitive for its class, though buyers must choose between the compact nature of the elevating roof or the permanent standing room of the high-top version.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Renoir Ownership Essentials
- Utilise the swivel passenger seats to maximise the living area when parked.
- Regularly service the under-slung water tanks to ensure system longevity.
- Test the lay-flat bed mechanism to ensure smooth operation before trips.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 560kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket equipment.
- Assuming all models have the same height; high-top versions exceed the 2.1m standard.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact year of conversion as specifications have evolved since the 90s.
Alternatives to the Leisuredrive Renoir
- Nissan Elgrand - The Elgrand offers a shorter 4.85m length for those prioritising easier parking over the Renoir's 4.99m frame.
