Choosing a van

[yeti]

Can anyone assist? My pal is looking for a van,here are his requirements.

Hi-top panel vans that would fit this description:

 

True 4 berth for length

 

NOT drop down bed

 

NOT bunk beds

 

NOT Transit nor VW chassis

 

Not more than 2 years old OR new

 

NOT over 6m (or perhaps just a bit longer) in length?

 

2 room concept

 

access from rear doors possible

 

Thanks

Not VW? the best van on the road IMHO.

Ford is second best.

Mercs are good but expensive.

The rest are well, the rest.

I suggest that he looks on the 'Devon' website.

They do a 2 room version on a Renault (and I think on a Mercedes.)

I'm not sure though about a "true 4 berth" panel van.

There's a Buyers' Guide towards the rear of MMM magazine with a panel-van conversion section. This might provide sufficient data for your pal to produce a short list, though (IMHO) his requirements may be unrealistic.

 

It's the 'no bunks/drop-down bed' criterion that's the real killer, as this excludes 4-berth PVCs like Concorde's "Compact" or Globecar's "Vario".

 

Perhaps a Danbury Family 4 or Family 6 (on the Renault Master) might be suitable?
