The £8,500 Dacia camper van that many people are dreaming of

In difficult economic times, you have to be resourceful and look for solutions to your needs. Do you want a cheap camper van but your budget is quite limited? Maybe a second-hand Dacia van and a Spanish tuner is the way to go. 

Here's an example: you buy a used Dokker (they are available for less than €10,000 (approx. £8,500) on a number of buying and selling websites and go to the Madrid-based company Yevana, where they will prepare it for you for €10,250 (£8.800), including legalisation and the papers for the MOT. In total, less than €20,000 (£17,500) of investment. 

In exchange, you get a compact van, 4.36 metres long, ideal for two people, which, when viewed from the outside, goes completely unnoticed, so you can park it in urban areas without fear of theft.

Camper preparation

The camper consists of a folding double bed, 1.95 metres long and 1.70 metres wide, with a birch wood bed base and a folding mattress 7 centimetres thick. 

You can also cook with a burner and store food in a small 31-litre fridge. There is also a stainless steel sink that can be used thanks to a 32-litre clean water tank. If the weather is nice and you need to wash up, the outdoor shower will come in handy. 

The complete Yevana project also includes plywood furniture, LED interior lighting, blinds, mosquito nets (much needed in summer), drawers with safety locks, skylight, solar panel, 100 Ah battery and a 600W power inverter.

Camper for the price of a compact
