So Jim what does SWMBO want that can be used as an everyday vehicle as well ?
I can see you joining me in a ambulance 19 ft long (overhaul) and 6 ft 6 ins wide in the rear (wider than any PVs) and still easy to park in most places :thumb:

She want's a tardis that does 45 mpg ..

seriously, I can't find anything that really suits the bill .. most PVC's are only two berth and those that aren't are too long.. may as well have nice Hymer B534 or any other short German C class .. which there are many..

I like your ambulance.. is it three berth ?

cheers

Not exactly a Tardis.....but some of these do well over 45mpg with a diesel engine.

Met an elderly retired couple with one a few years ago in Switzerland. Not a wealthy couple with pots of 'disposable income', but their mini motorhome had taken them all over europe. They could easily afford it as mpg wasn't a problem. I was amazed at the facilities built into these little vans. Very clever use of limited space. Even enough room for his disabled wifes wheelchair.

I made it as a 2 berth with the bed as 2 singles 27 ins wide and 6 ft 6 ins long :thumb: with the option of turning that into a 5 ft wide by 6 ft 6 ins double or a very large 6 ft 6 ins sq king size which I am sure you could easy fit 4 in all be it very cosy
I have just recently made another bed in between the front seats for our grandson ( 4 yrs -due to a change in circumstances ) which at about 5 ft plus long should serve him until he is 8 yrs plus I would think, or again until we convert another :thumb:
Again this decision lays with SWMBO she said we would do another after a couple of yrs which is 3 yrs to date Now she is on about another couple of yrs before doing another oh:
I have tried to persuade her to just do one to sell but she says we are not risking it to what could possibly be a loss Even tried to say sell the one we have then we know exactly what it is worth :thumb::thumb: but again all I get is we will only do it the same (we like the layout and it is still like new ) so why would she want to change it when we are not having any problems just to have a few yrs newer van oh: No reasoning with logic like that

:thumb: you now need to convince SWMBO that you can have what layout you want
Ours was made with all the options (bed ) because she gets up a couple of times a night
