rovabout12 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi All I am new to this site, but have been motorhoming for approx.. 2 years. We are looking for a larger m/home as our 2 young grandchildren are now asking to come with us! However we cannot seem to find a van that meets our requirements. ie. A 4 berth with half dinette/table with 2 forward facing belted travelseats, a washroom with seperate shower, a U shaped rear lounge with 6' side berths for us oldies, and if poss. a fridge/freezer which is set slightly off of ground level. We have seen plenty of 4 berths with a rear corner d/bed, but do not want that. Age of van poss. 2007 to 2011. Any suggestions please, !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B. Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I suggest you check out the show at NEC in October, then when you have found what you like search the adverts/dealers for same van within your budget Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Rapido did a version: http://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/Motorhomes/Reviews/Motorhomes/Rapido-9010df/_ch1_rw288_pg1 Can I ask what vehicle you have now/what layout and is there anything that you would like/wouldn't like again, and also the age of the grandchildren.

flicka Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi Judy & welcome to the forum. One that fits your requirement list - Autotrail Savanah (with the half dinnete & 2 belted forward facing seats option) The "standard" layout has opposing side benches up front, but I've seen a few with the above option, which also retains the nearside side bench. "The Savannah features long twin single beds at the rear, fitted with adjustable back supports. There's a central washroom, separate shower cubicle and fully fitted kitchen. The spacious lounge is towards the front." Also has the seperate shower / toilet. Also the front can be converted to a low level bed, so also give option of either the "Hi-Line",(overcab bed) Lo-Line (low profile) or "Super Lo-Line" (low profile with overcab window) Possible downside - It is a bit on the longer side @ 7.6m http://www.auto-trail.co.uk/index.php/frontier-savannah.html Then see the "Model Layout" (centre screen) it scrolls right to show the options.

Apache 700 will not give the twin singles in the rear lounge - transverse double is 1.5m wide so not long enough for singles. The Scout would be a suitable alternative - twin singles in rear lounge, in 1/2 dinette format. Difference is that you lose the forward n/s bench & the 1/2 dinette is set further back, depends which kitchen layout best suits. Kitchen is central on the Savanah or front n/s on Scout.
