Don't upset me! Wink If you need any suggestions for improving the Twin just ask.

I looked at the Monaco/Monte Carlo. The wardrobe was only about 6 inches wide and storage space seemed to be limited if you required two rear belted seats. I thought that the toilet compartment was quite primitive compared with the Twins. I asked Devon if they would fit a mini oven/grill instead of the full size cooker to allow more storage and they quoted me a ridiculous price to do it.

The only alternative to the Adria Twin & Devon Monaco I have seen are the Moncayo Liberty Vans sold by Davan in Somerset.
Can't remember which is which, but one has the rear fixed bed and the other a rear lounge. Both have a front diner/lounge.
I really liked the quality of these vans, but just couldn't do a deal to suit me. Worth a look?

Hi Peter. Do you actually paint them in-house? or get a local spray shop to do it? I'm thinking of getting mine done, but not sure on the best way to go about it. Wasn't sure on the durability of spraying a black plastic bumper.

Thanks in advance,
Steve
We spray them in house any reputable vehicle body shop will be able to do them for you.Peter.

It looks a super van, the finish looks immaculate and with only 2K miles

It's a good advantage to have a grey metallic panel van that almost matches the standard Ford plastic bumpers. It takes a good hard look to see they're not painted to match the body.
It's best to give them a regular dressing of bumper care which fetches them up with a slight sheen.

There's a bigger and clearer picture of a new Mondial in a full page ad on Page 79 of the new March issue of Practical Motorhome.

I've tried to access the featured mondialrange.co.uk website but it isn't up and running yet. I also noticed that the Mondial models are to be sold through Swift, Bessie and Ace dealers which is a good idea, rather than limiting them to the dealers of just one of the Swift Gp brands.
