Currently abroad, I'm still looking for panel van conversion, so a lot of research is on the net, then followed up by visits to dealers when i'm home. This forum has been outstanding at building my knowledge over the last 12 months, so i'm getting close to spending some cash.
I really fancied the U shape layout Warwick Duo/Rhythm/Mondial but baulk at paying + 29k minimum, although I may have to bite the bullet eventually. We would like two singles, this also means we can lounge in comfort, settee style (Only two of us). We like the panel vans for their looks, ease of use etc.
I've recently been noticing the Trigano Tribute Pre 2007 and the Trigano 650. Both which are often sub £25k.....the Tributes down as far as £21k in some cases.
My question: Is it feasible to leave the nearside seats in the tribute or 650 permanently set up as a single bed, so that it can be used as a 2nd settee. Using the rear doors for access, thus achieving the same lounging area as a Warwick/Mondial etc and saving myself £10k plus. What would be the issues, if any? I realise there is a Tribby forum, but this may be useful to other newbies on a similar quest.
Here's an example to illustrate the type of van: .
