Had a wee nosey around this yesterday. Just had to ask outright after the guy was telling us it had a slide "IN" What a fabulous idea, might be handy for conversions @Terry . The shower base is covered by an infill, lifted obviously when you want a shower.

More than toes wet now!
Has he not installed it the wrong way round? Surely he'd be better off having it slide out the way in Scotland. No need for the infill bit. Just stand there with his legs hanging out the bottom on the ground as the rain pi, eh enters from above. Much less refilling fresh water and emptying waste water as well.(y)

I somehow thought lots would have saw these. I hadnt and thought the van was wonderful. It even had an installed genny, though it was broke and costing £400 to fix.

We looked at a Le Sharo a few years ago. I remember the strange toilet arrangement and the limited headroom in the seating are at the back which meant you had to stoop to get to the seats.

A freind had one of the renault based ones 25 years ago and it wasnt new then.

The earlier ones were renault then they went to VW, I think they used the 2.8litre v6. In fact I think most of them were petrol.

Good package in a small space back then.

I remember we considered one of these back in the mid 90s which we really liked but couldn't afford it. We had a classic Commer Autosleeper instead but I liked the toilet idea and was going to do similar in the ambulance I then converted but as we didn't want a shower and getting suitable 'slides' for it would have been expensive, I went for a simpler idea of the door being open to approx 90 degrees with a curtain on a curved rail filling the gap ... worked a treat.

We have the tambour door shower/toilet compartment in ours too - means we can have a lovely L-shaped lounge in our PVC. :)

An old idea used by Winibago in the Le Sharo model for over 20 years.
Yes and 'purloined' by East Neuk Campers for their Touring S model ... :D
