I didn't realise poptops go free on the autobahn

For a family van where you have a superb seperate shower cubicle and have the ability to lose the rear end off with sleeping space for three I don't think you can beat the Series7 Pageant Provence. We've had the series 5 & Series 7 Provence and they're lovely family vans.

We wouldn't touch a fixed bed van or one with three side bunks simply because we like to have full use of the whole van for seating should the weather turn bad and in our opinion giving up space in the van for fixed bed and built in bunks has never floated our boat.

When our 4 kids outgrew the van we put an annex at each end of the awning for them & they loved taking turns sleeping in these. 

I'm not certain but I think Alu-Tec came in around 2009 & to be honest we're not sure what we think about the process. I felt better in my mind when the Alu-Tec bolts were checked every third service but now this has been declared unnecessary by the manufacturer & dropped from the service plan, we'll be watching to see how things go because we have a superb local bailey Dealer just up the road & will stick with the make again if we can. 

Keep us updated on which van you choose.
