Hi guys I know this is been mentioned before on here but I am selling our beloved Peugeot autoquest 100... I like the type of camper van that is like a molded plastic bodywork and not the wooden framed aluminium which I can't believe autoquest are still building....

The layout of the van is perfect for us over cab bed mid Diner and end kitchen... a van with this layout would be perfect but like I said with the different type of construction and something round about 2013 onwards

I would go for another brand new autoquest 100 but like I said previous if they used a different building technique it wouldn't be a problem but I just think the wooden framed with aluminium sheets stuck on is poor practice.

Opinions appreciated guys

I don't think wood and ally is a bad combination, it is the hundreds of holes they make with screws and poor construction work with not enough or missing sealant! Sadly a lot of British vans are all gloss and no substance. Hope you find what you're looking for.

We love our Autotrail Imala 620. Nothing on board that is complicated, and has what it seems you require. Rear kitchen, at the side of the kitchen on the offside, is the shower, and separate loo and basin. Whilst still in this area, the sink niggles a little. It is right next to the entrance door, but the pair of us have got used to that. The 620 comes in 3 layouts, twin bench...for TWO PEOPLE. Lounge dinette (as ours is) It is quite a bit different to most dinettes in that it has a 2 seat with seat belts bench, and a very neat and very useful removable cushion (for leg space if 2 extra passengers)and then the other dinette seat. Along the length of this seating area is the normal back cushion but in this case it is 3 back cushions. Each the size of the 3 separate seating spaces. We leave this as an L shape all the time. Then opposite this is a full length bench. We never have to make up beds, just get the 2 duvets from the overcab...and bingo its bedtime. This arrangement suits us...as 2 singles. However I should say that the nearside bench does have to have its back cushion removed, which we stand in the shower cubicle. It does also make into a massive double. BUT should you have children with you the ladder would need to be removed for the overcab if you did use the double. Water filling is easy, just the normal hosepipe. Electrics are also simple. We have added slide out baskets to the kitchen cupboards,to save getting on hands and knees to reach articles right at the back. The oven is no different to most of the ovens we have had on board, with the silly so called pan storage below.....with a drop down GLASS door on it?? Plenty of eye level cupboards to which we have added shelves in two of them. Not that big a van, but easy to get along with. It has been admired by many, and they have been amazed at the extra width the offside seating flexibility seems to offer. The floor on the underside is protected from road dirt and rain. That's our van...she looks and drives a treat, and one rainy afternoon we seated 8 with ease, and in comfort. Ok folks, give Dave the advantages of your van. Give him some 'homework' for the Christmas period.

Hi Dave..
I seem to recall someone mentioning the Autoquest's old fashioned build technique to you, prior to you buying it

You say you would go for a new one (but are put off by the ali/wood?), however the newer ones are built differently, using one piece grp panels.
(although probably still nailed together and signed off by the same bunch of blokes that okayed the earlier incarnation

Hi Austins

We have gone for the Imala 620 overcab bed 2017 model. Really looking forward to using it it's gonna be a vast improvement to our elddis.

Happy days ☺
