Hi, new to the site so a quick hello along with some help with a few questions.
We are a youngish couple who have owned a 90's talbot express 'van for a couple of years. We are lucky enough to live in beautiful South Devon and, due to the fact we both work full time, have many varied 'mini weekend breaks' within a few hours of
home. We also have a small renovation project in mid France (pile of stone if the truth be known, but it's a good excuse to get on the ferry), so pop over the water when ever the time and the wallet allows!
We are wanting to upgrade to a newer van and would love some advice.
Requirements for van:
Second hand - unfortunately new vans out not an option due to budget
Must be Panel van conversion due to Devon roads and ferry costs!
Front lounge layout
Toilet / shower room
Heating
Van being considered:
Auto sleeper Symbol / Symphony (1999 - 2001)
Advice please from any owners of the above:
Sleeping - Being 6ft, can you sleep across a symbol/symphony in comfort?
Engine size: Is the 1.9 diesel or 2.0 petrol powerful enough?
Look forward to any help or advice
