Default VW based true 4 berth?

Anyone know of any?
I found an Autosleepers Gatcombe (even that has only 3 belted seats)
I should qualify what I mean by a true 4 berth with 4 forward facing belted seats.
Any marques?
Do they exist?

Karmann, German built C class fits the bill.. VW LT 35 based, same mechanicals as the Merc.

I owned one for several years, absolutely beautiful van built to a very high standard.. fully winterised and with a fibre glass body.

I'm afraid they are scarer than hens teeth in the UK .. try mobile.de for some examples.

Depends on your definition of true 4 berth calculad, my pop top has 4 good size beds and 5 proper belted seats forward facing with a superb 174bhp unit that is always a pleasure to use, however, I think that It would require poetic licence to describe it as a true 4 berth. The choice is limited on coach build’s but there are a few.
The link below will take you the Karmann Colorado RS at the Nurnburg ring, looks like a nice van not so sure about the colour.

Question

Ther's one in Berwick, I think it's an Autotrail coachbuilt and I'd be surprised if it wasn't a full 4 berth.

I'll try to have a sneaky look over the weekend if I can and get back to you.
