And how wide is wide?

My measurements are 40 - 30 - Ohhhhhh, the van   

Height 10ft, Length 16ft 10, Width 7ft

Not too big and not too small, it's horses for courses really!

 

Pleased to hear the good news Carol.

I have 7ft and not an inch more ( thats the drive Width) so can't have a coach built like yours, its got to be a van conversion. Length now thats no problem, got plenty to spar there (up the drive that is). Jen and All's looks about the size we need, like the front cab of yours without the extra width from the coach built. Dont want to go to long but want room for a shower / toilet. Think a LWB Trannie will do the trick.
