I'm still looking for a suitable panel van conversion and now considering there may be life outside VW vans as we just can't find what we're looking for.
We're now considering Devon Limousin (Renault), La Strada Pronto (Ford) and Auto-Sleeper Duetto (Ford) among some others.
Our requirements are not too great, a medium sized high top panel van with side and rear access, insulated for year round use with comfortable bed and lounging as time is spent in the van. Prefer a fixed loo but porta okay, shower or no shower, good storage, on board heating and three way fridge, min two burner cooker and mini oven as most meals made in the van (lucky me).
There is a list of other preferences, some I could live without - maybe I'm being too fussy as we've been looking for a replacement for our Auto-Sleeper VW Trident for some time, we do want another layout, lounging/bed front and business end rear.
I'd be delighted to hear from those with the above mentioned vans or any other suggestions and I must add we are lucky to have this dilemma.
Cheers,
Greg.

The first ones to come to my mind would be Murvi Morello, Horizons Unlimited Innovation or if you still like VW, Bilbos Lezan.
The Murvi probably offers the most lounging space, Horizons also have a versatile seating space as does the Lezan - all these offer more than one seating layout.
Within the next few days I'll be posting some photos of the current Morello on our blog.
Check out NuVenture Motorhomes, Seven Stars Rd, Wigan. They will build whatever you want into a van of your choice. You will be in charge of what you want to spend. I designed my own van interior they built it for me and I am extremely happy with it. If you want further info, pm me.

for a Cavarno which has virtually all you list and more. BTW there's also a nice looking VW based '99 Compass Calypso below it on the page.
The Innovation which is a cousin to the Cavarno has the same seats/lounge but no oven and only a loo room without shower. It also has a smaller compressor type fridge. Instead of all that it has a nearly 6ft wide by 2ft deep by 3ft plus high storage area across the back.

Hi Andy
Some good vans on that site-wish I lived closer.
Liked the look of the Rimor at the end, though it doesn't give the length.

Yeah, it's not a model name that I've heard before.
I do like the look of that Calypso, the VW front seems to suit it. The upholstery certainly dates it though and like most coachbuilts it's bound to be too big for our drive.

Greg Murvi have brought out a medium wheel base on their Morello, it was at the NEC, it might well be worth looking at....

Hi Paul,
There is a similar van to the Rimor for sale at Campbells Caravans, Preston Branch. (sorry not sure how to post a link.) It is a Ahorn TF620, which is from memory built by same. I'll just consult my library, for a min, the TF620 is 20ft2in similar to the Rimor Katamarano 4 and also the Kentucky Camp Camargue. Hope this helps.
Dawn.
