Autocruise Rhythm rated? (1 Viewer)

I wonder if anyone had experience of this van as we're looking at a part X
My questions are: how is the winterisation and whether there can be any front table?
Is it still true that English vans (this is Swift) are not as good at winterisation as German ones?

Looked at one. They look nice.
They are on the lightweight chassis meaning that you cant up plate them and their limited payload cannot be increased. The lightweight chassis has smaller brakes, wheels etc and lighter chassis rails etc.
We went for a Globecar.

Good advice thanks

We had an Accent which is very similar to Rhythm - just a different layout. I did some work on it which entailed removal of rear door panels and some of the interior fittings and found the insulation lacking. The main reason for changing it however was the lack of adequate loadspace for what I needed. We swopped it for a Globecar and the difference in insulation is significant both to see and also to experience in the winter. We also uprated the load carrying capability which was only a paper exercise as the chassis, suspension, braking etc is good for a lot more than the initially plated 3500 kgs.
