I was going to buy an A Class but... (1 Viewer)

[Bepto]

I bought this instead.

Someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse so we will see how it goes for now. It's the 159bhp Engine and drives remarkably well. Has Twin Singles that are nice and long and a drop down double (Manual).

First couple of questions are..

Anyone know if/where I can get one of these? Its a little bracket that supports one end of a small curtain rod.

And what is this?

Many many more questions to come I'm sure.

 

[Podney]

Nice van.No idea about the bracket. Is the other thing an alarm sensor I wonder?

 

[MC 55 FUN]

The second pic is of a P.I.R. sensor linked to an alarm

Yes it's an alarm sensor made by Autowatch. It's identical to ours. It's a good Thatcham one

 

[mikebeaches]

Nice van!

You could try High Bridge Caravans for the curtain bracket - I think they are about the biggest Chausson dealer in the country - they were certainly the first importer of the brand.

 

[Puddleduck]

Is the curtain bracket here somewhere?

This isn't the same but might work at a pinch (and cheap)

This is no help whatsoever with your quests but if you love your Chausson here is the song to sing while driving it.



Yes, I know it's spelt differently but FUNetically it sounds the same.

I'd like to say I'm too young to remember that - but I can't.

I will call in my local Wilkos tomorrow & have a look.

We always sing it while waving to the oncoming Chaussonions.. I hope we never have to use our dash cam footage, they'll be sending the yellow van for us

Interesting we went to look at an A class but didn't like layout, we spotted a Chausson Relax and it was ideal(in our opinion for us) so found one Anyway to get spares send pic to stevetobin@emm-bee.co.uk or ring him on 01617972988. We had a couple of bits we needed, he was superb identified them and ordered within the hour
Enjoy the van we love ours

Depends on what site, on Porsche forums it's something else

 

[Podney]

I bet it’s GeoffPorsche,or are you leading me into a trap!

 

[Geoff185]

Yep Plenty of models to have a go at should keep you going. Hint super quick twin turbo cabriolet should narrow it a bit

The first thing that drew my attention on the photo was the fuel filler flap. Not a very good design really. Hinge on the left, "wall" on the right. What were they thinking?

I have emailed Steve at emm bee thanks.

It's the same on all recent coachbuilts based on the Fiat cab. It really isn't a problem - there's a small cut out in the lower right hand corner to open the flap - simples

Nice van.

Sorry for any misunderstandings, but I was referring to the fact that when the flap is opened, that makes a "wall" on each side, which is a bit narrow for my liking. As can be seen from the photo...

...some coachbuilt Adrias have a lot easier access to the filler. Same flap, same cut out to open it, but no wall to the rear.

Right ... with you now. The Adria certainly looks neater but the Chausson is the same as our Rapido (and our Auto Trail when we had it). Apart from the occasional dirty knuckle it doesn't cause too much of a problem
