I am on the trail of my next van, no rush just casual browsing, but can`t seem to find the layout I want in the size van I can afford to pay ferry charges for .
At present I have a 7 metre low profile van, with a garage, a smalll seperate shower (which I CAN have a shower in ), with a chassis that drives nicely.
The part I don`t like about it is the front dinette, which is worse than useless for any sort of loungeing. The TV is nicely fitted in a roof locker over the cab area so you need to sit in the dinette to watch tv, which results in a cricked neck before long. To move the tv would create problems with wire routing, cupboard door opening and fixing to the bathroom wall, so I am reluctant to do that.
What I need is a van with 2 sofas in the lounge area, so I can stretch out and watch telly much as I do at home. A friend had an Autocruise which had that layout, still with a large garage, albeit with a smaller washroom. The only critism I had with that van was the height of the floor from the ground.
Anyone got any ideas for a van that fits the bill without adding an extra metre, which will cost me even more on the ferry every time I want to get off this island. oh:
