You made me go and check out smaller RV's Winnebago VIA, no garage:rolleyes: not a lot of payload as far as I can tell but they do seem a bit reluctant to display the UVW, I think double glazing is an option, think I would tick that one.

First look not convinced me.

When I got my new Four Winds Siesta in 2010 it had a RV builders label near the weight labels indicating payload which was 941 kgs I went to weighbridge when fully loaded 100% everything and still had 250 kgs spare.

I think the ones on the sprinter might struggle a bit as the Merc chassis does seem to limit the options as it does on Eurovans.

I was going RV I think I would go all the way on a yank chassis.

But surely. Only "Plank Pushing" would require anyone to voluntarily, go anywhere cold? Most sensible folk head for the warmer climes if they can?.

Do the yanks make anything now that does gulp fuel down like a drunk. RVs are OK but I couldn't afford to start the onan let alone the main 12 litre engine.. Has anyone watched the Robin Williams RV film that was on the other day.
