Hi
We are looking to down size and would like to go down as small as a panel van conversion.
Our problem is that we occasionally need to sleep four people.
We like the Hymer Van but this only sleeps 2 and 1/2.
What other options are there out there please?
James

Sea Sloop, HRZ and James Cook come to mind offhand.

Not an easy thing to find, but a La Strada with the optional bed in the top is well built and has 4 belts too - can't remember offhand which model.

Getting 4 berths out of a van conversion may be a tall order, if there's a bed up top then its going to be suitable for small children.

Other than the top bunk, you could perhaps consider an annexe.

We have a Cavarno 2 (2-birth) - but they also do a 4-birth but only for 2+2kids.

for details.

Its the smallest thing available with everything in - but very well made. Its worth a look to see how good conversions can be even if it is too small (we saw bigger models 1m longer with no extra room at all!)

HTH.

what about the Devon Monte Carlo, or even the Devon Monaco, both are available as either a three or four berth. Based on Renault Master - good payload too!

No HRZ in England that I've found, but SuperK has one in Essex. James Cooks can be seen at Deepcar, Sheffield. (www.dmiuk.com), who are agents for Westphalia.
