mrs p hancox Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi we went to Perborough show this year, and saw a very long wheel base panel van with a rear fixed bed that is across the back of the van not down the side, we loved it and wish we had seen it prior to buying our current van, but hubby and I made a hasty exit convincing ourself it was going to be too expensive and not worth hassle of swapping, but we both keep on about it, trouble is we don't know who made it please can anyone throw any light, it was in an area of other panel vans this particular model had an awning attached any suggestions welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6x Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Could have been the Adria Twin or the Devon Monaco... as a couple of places to start. Ta, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
net-traveller Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Probably the Devon Sapphire - based on a LWB Merc Sprinter and is just about 7 meters long. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Lee Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I suspect it might have been a Maesss Mini from Saffron Motorhomes. See http://www.maesss.be/en/index.html and http://www.saffronmotorhomes.co.uk/images/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Have you tried looking through the list of panel van conversions at the back of MMM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs p hancox Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 yes but cant find anything that matches, we are starting to wonder if it was a small company that sort of does off the shelf, the stand was oppersite barrons, but sods law no copy of show leaflet left, as i disgard all unwanted (at the time) items due to him inside complaining payload and space, for once i wish I had not!!

Brian Kirby Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well, if you look along the menu bar at the top of this screen, you'll see "exhibitions" near the right hand end. If you click on that, you'll see the Peterborough show is still advertised. If you click on its logo, it will open and you'll see, on the left, in red, a pull down entitled "Exhibitors". If you click on that, you'll get a list of all the exhibitors. Then try coss-referencing to the MMM listing and phone any hits to ask them if they were there. Should be quicker that us all guessing on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Im sure it was the Maess Mini. But we liked the more expensive Evolution more. So much so that we got and still have the brochures. You can choose your own layout. The only U/K dealers are a very nice couple, very small outfit but really nice and friendly people. They are just up river from where our boat is moored in Boston Linc's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Stephens Motor Homes do a Merc Sprinter with a fixed transverse bed, but I haven`t got a website for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
