Yes it had the big u shape lounge which made a huge bed, but with the bed made up there was little room left. The toilet was behind the drivers seat so no use for turning to use. The batteries are under the drivers seat, which needs to be removed if you want to check battery level. Worth by passing the egr valve. It was a good van and went ok.

Yes on a transit, but a manual. Another thing we did was get a small trailer for bulky chairs etc to save having them banging about inside the van, as the side locker doors are quite small we found. If I think of anything else I will put it on. Fuel consumption was good, but worth bypass the egr valve.

Thank you much appreciated

We have a Rienza at the moment. We bought it to replace our Duetto and take it into our retirement .
Lovely motorhome with lots of space and storage for the two of us. The rear lounge is lovely for feet up evenings. As a double or single the beds they are easy to make up and are very comfortable. We don’t often rotate the passenger seat. It’s a bit close to the cooker and we have plenty of room without it. Our dog likes it because he can be out of the way and see what is going on.
Ours is on a 55 plate with 45,000 miles on the clock. It has been cheap to run and maintain so far. It’s is a manual and nice to drive. I have heard some of the automatics can be problematic.
Any more questions just ask.

Just a heads up regarding our Rienza. Something to check that was found on our last habitation check.
The inner wall under the outside locker door was found to be damp. There is no adjustment of the locker door so in the worst case damp can creep under the door seal.
Another area that can cause damp problems is the structural frame near the fridge vents. Possibly caused by being stood over winter without the fridge winter vent covers fitted. Not a problem we have had because it is not stood for long even during the winter and we fit the covers.
