Found a new van one I like at last.

Not bad for the price I think, could have done with some better videos and info on the essentials, such as gas locker max cylinder size, Panel and battery size, inverter etc.

The only real issue is can you sit up in bed, so many you can't.

Do the leaks and poor build come free with swift as standard.

That bed looks a bit small to me Kev. Might be the camera angles. It would be ok solo though Looks like you will have to shuffle down it to get off as well. Lounge looks a bit sitty uppy as well. No real easy way to "lounge". Thats just my thoughts though.

I agree with both those points, you'd have to go see it.

Just looking at a A class, which I'd never buy despite it being really good.

Why wouldn't you buy an A Class? I mean, doubt I would either

Is that even possible?

When we were buying and selling, we looked at loads, but A, I felt they were awful to drive, it wasn't the width as I happily drive 7.5t trucks, and all had issues with bodywork around the hab doors.

We where looking at A class, specifically the Carthago Compactline 143 with a deleted dropdown bed, as it's only marginally bigger than our Campscout PVC when we have bikes on the back, so stood a good chance of being able to get it on our drive at the 'old house'. In the end we decided we would stick to a PVC, one thing to consider with A class is the windscreen, if you get a broken one they are very expensive to replace, and not always readily available, so if you are not interested in a dropdown bed you would be better off with the same layout in a coachbuilt.

I have had van conversions, coachbuilt and A class motorhomes. I like van conversions and A class but would not look at another coachbuilt.

Why? they're more rigid than a A class.

 

[exwindsurfer]

Sorry Kev but the colour inside it awful.I couldn't live with that colour.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Nor the best I agree, modern ideas innit.

Interesting point. Because they still have a B pillar?

Do coachbuilts have a B pillar Mark?

Another good point. I'm not sure, but I would think they do.

And a A pillar too a classes don't have the base vehicle one.

 

[mark61]

Looks like the back2backs do, so I'd imagine a factory cab and chassis would too.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Coach builds attach to the A and B pillars.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Those are cabs, mohos use a chassis cowl.
