Bayliner1952 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Anyone own or owned one of these in the past? Can't seem to find much info on this model (Reviews/Pros/Cons). Any news or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The model is actually 'Autosleeper Orian SIRIUS'. Google gets plenty of results! https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enGB742GB742&q=Autosleeper+Orian+Sirius Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Some information on the Sirius here https://www.practicalmotorhome.com/reviews/motorhome/30192-orian-sirius https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/motorhomes/buyers-guide/motorhomes/details/sirius/11092 The Orian brand (long since defunct) was launched by the Auto-Sleepers Group in 2005. It allowed a dealership expansion and (if I remember correctly) although Orian motorhomes were clones of Auto-Sleepers-branded models, the interior ‘look’ (eg. upholstery colours) was less UK-traditional. If (as is quite likely) no current O&AL forum-member owns or has owned a Sirius, you should be able to obtain feed-back from the Auto-Sleeper Motorhome Owners Forum (ASOF) about Orian models generally. http://www.autosleeper-ownersforum.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmold Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I've only ever seen one Sirius. I've checked on the Autosleeper forum and there is only one Sirius owner registered. They joined the forum only in February this year but unfortunately they have never posted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I notice that the Orian Sirius model was originally built on a Transit Mk 6 chassis (example in this advert) https://www.northdevonmotorhomes.co.uk/previous-stock/just-in-auto-sleeper-orian/ before moving to the Transit Mk 7 around 2007. Although a similar rear-wheel-drive configuration and 2.4-litre powerplant were used for both types, the Transit Mk 7 version (shown in the Practical Motorhome review) is more sophisticated, with a dashboard-mounted gear-lever rather than a long floor-mounted ’stick’ that will obstruct movement between the cab and the habitation area. I’m pretty sure that the Orian Sirius was a clone of the Auto-Sleepers “Rienza” model, so if you are interested in an early Sirius, you could seek feedback from Rienza owners. There’s a (Transit Mk 7) Rienza video here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
