Panel van with more than two berths? Forums

Chappers

Hello High speed motorvanners,
I am in the process of selling my 1990 Kontiki in favour of a smaller, newer, lighter, faster motorcaravan. -Namely a panel van conversion.
My problem is that I have only found the Adria Twin so far that offers an extra berth. (We have a 7 yr old).
Could any of you seasoned panel van experts offer any suggestions to other conversions that offer the extra sleeping position, or is it possible to arrange a small bed in an otherwise two berth conversion? Perhaps a bunk is available that attaches over the rotated front seats?
I know there are a lot of short vans with an elevated bed, but I am particularly interested in the LWB offered by the likes of the Ducato and Master.
Any help is much appreciated.

The devon monaco (I think) on a renault master has a fixed bed and has a three or four berth option made up with the front seats.

Off the top of my head...

Devon Conversions do a 4-berth I think.... the Monte Carlo or the Monaco (or both)

Hi, The Devon Renaults were the vans that got me hooked on motorhomes. I think they were and probably still are wonderful.

I do not have one now because when I was looking for a new MH for 2007 they were still using the old shape vans and were £5000 more than the equivalent Twin or Tribute on a new shape. They may have caught up now but when I last saw them they were still using up old van stocks as they do not have a high production volume.

Has anyone seen a Devon on the the New Shape ?

Some where on this Site is my report on its first 5000 miles.

Thanks for your replies good people. It's especially helpful to hear from anyone who has taken more than their partner away in a panel van.
I'm going to do my research on the Devons, and try to hunt out a second hand one to view.
As another option has anybody tried or used the Adria twin third bed space? Is it only for a toddler or small dog? Not that I have a dog!

Not four but three - Murvi used to do a roll up bunk across the cab in the old Fiat. Problem is that eventually the child grows too big !
