No, but the interior of the one Kev posted does. Maybe its just me. I don't like grey.

That Adria layout was at the NEC show last October. It actually appealed as I could carry a decent sized motorbike in the back tie strapped down, or 2 high end electric mountain bikes. Mrs Moped not a fan though.

It would not surprise me if Adria sell a significant number with this layout. The proof would be how long Adria continue to offer that layout in their range.

Now that you say that my first thoughts was it reminded me of one of those race vans with all that space at the back. It would be fairly easy to set up some kind of rack in the back to slot the bike into. Getting it in of course might be an issue plus you would have to drop it out every night to use the bed which you probably would normally anyway.

Had a quick look, and the earliest review I can find of that model is 6 years ago, I think the first time I saw the same or similar layout with the rising bed was at least 10 years ago, the one in video is just the latest tweek, they do like to change the style of the cabinets every couple of years.

There is a 3 birth option so a front bed for singles owners. The example offered for sale in the opening post is a 2 birth only version. There are pre-owned 3 birth vans available for sale. Also the drop down double can stay in its raised position or partially lowered depending on what is carried under. Depends really on how comfortable you are climbing into the bed (ladder required) and sleeping with the van roof close to you.

I personally would prefer to keep a motorbike or ebikes in the van at night. Remove wing mirrors and the bed could be partially lowered.

Not sure a Honda Gold Wing or an Electraglide would fit but the van would very likely be able to take the payload. After all when empty not much weight on the rear axle.

No doubt ramps are available as required.

Its a good idea as you would likely get most of the weight forward enough as to not add a fulcrum effect that most longer vans face with a rear garage or particularly a rear rack which are often a long way behind the rear axle adding much more weight. Not sure what the payload is on that van but I suspect it would allow you to put in a reasonably heavier bike than you could in a normal garage and certainly on a rack.

I was going to comment that just about the only reason for the lift up bed with "nothing" underneath it when up, was so that when not in use as a camper you could to some degree use it as a panel van to transport "stuff"

It's an expensive way of doing that, on our van the bedding can be 'clipped' against wall on lefthand side, or removed with ease, this leaves a decent sized area, we have moved beds, rise and recline chairs, and all sorts of other stuff in the back.
