My other half asked me the other night if you can get automatic camper vans (the type with a sleeping compatment over the driving seat (if that makes sence), not the retor style ones.

I orefer to ask rather than Google as that usually throws up more questions than answers.

Cheers

Yes but not many.  There has been an auto Autosleeper on CMH's website for months. Google for them and you will find their stock list.

there ya go, got a bit more time now to do the link etc for you.

Very few make vans with autos, I am racking my brains to think who does.  I believe there is a Merc based vehicle but in the back of my mind I am sure I read they were discontinuing it.

Good luck with your search and if I remember any more I will post again.

I don't think Peugeot or Fiat produce an auto version of their vans, which are what most motorhome manufacturers use as the base vehicle for their van conversions and their coachbuilts. Ford do an auto Transit - so you need to find a manufacturer who builds on a Transit base. I see the one in Ali's link is an Autosleeper based on a Tranny. I used to have an auto Tranny - Autosleeper again, so they may be your best bet.

On the other hand, I am surprised that Mercedes or Volkswagon don't do an auto?

Mercedes do something called Sprint shift, but that is the one I think I recently read is being discontinued.  You are right, the Sevel based Peugeots and Fiats don't offer autos AFAIK.

Aw well there you go, looks like you could have a good choice from here on in then if new options are hitting the market.  Happy hunting.

Just been round the show at Shepton, saw maybe 2 or 3 autos but that was it.  One was a Renault.
