Unfortunately not but thanks for looking

We don't want a fixed bed because we've got 2 young kids who will go to bed before us (hopefully) - so rear dinette or, ideally, fixed bunk beds (hence the 495 or Dethleff).

Me too, that's why I particularly liked that layout in the Hymer.  With 4 full sized 'uns (us and two teenage girls) we felt that two fixed singles was a much better arrangement ... fixed double beds take up too much space during the daytime for us.  I think Swift did a van with fixed singles quite recently and they seemed to do well. 

I had already checked Caravan Selecta and the other site mentioned above, but nothing going at the moment with the layout and price I am looking for.  Hymers and Geists and the like seem to be pretty thin on the ground at the moment, or is it always like this?  perhaps because comparatively few new vans are purchased in the UK?  They also definitely hold their second hand value better than UK vans.

Anyway, I am determined to keep on looking

Hey, that looks interesting - thanks

Is it easy to buy s/h from abroad? Any taxes/paperwork that are needed? Or changes to the vans required? (I have no issue with driving over there to pick it up...)
