I'm trying to work out why it needs to be a twin axle. Surely a single axle would be as stable and easier to use?
Oh, and some of the colours are a bit OTT.

I was only thinking during my last trip out, how nice it would be to have an awning attached and which just folds out of the back! Of course you have a back door instead of a side door, but it was just what I was envisioning!
Tripbuddy™ provides access via a cavernous rear clam-shell style door system which opens up like a monster hatchback on either gas operated struts or at the push of a button on the higher-end models. The door, once opened, forms the rigid roof of the inbuilt awning which deploys easily from within the underside of the door, dropping down in an instant.

Agreed, a concept van but I can't help suspecting that one piece moulded vans have got to be the way forwards.

Very pretty, don't know if very practical tho. Twin axles on a body of that size ?? Tremendous payload, maybe it's designed for nicking lead off church roofs or maybe you remove the furniture and it doubles as a horsebox. Think a single axle may find a niche in the market being lighter and cheaper. My own van is only fractionally different in size and is 800kgs, 10000gross. See piccies on profile

I actually really like it, so good to see something different. If my numbers come up saturday I may purchase a red one to tow behind my shiny new red car (in my dreams) Would almost persuade me to go back to caravans.

Agreed. Presumably the target market is younger folks who often won't have B+E entitlement (like myself). So anything other than the "light" 1300kg model would be out of the question for them (unless of course they want the hassle and expense of doing a B+E course and test, something I decided wasn't worth the bother).
