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.

Some of you may like to have a look at this PVC for sale on Ebay: quite an interesting and good quality conversion with a fixed bed, on a 2006 Ducato:
Ebay item number 250206308568
enjoy .....
Harvey
ps. it is not mine and it is nothing to do with me so this is not an advert
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.
