Liked the high one with a bed in the roof. Prefer that to the bunk bed idea. Thanks Alan.

The build of these camper vans are different than United States builds and incorporate especially the bathrooms much better even in the smaller vans!! They also look more stylish and built with higher quality. There are also many designs to choose from in the class B/vans than here. The prices are much lower as well. Is there a link to these manufacturers that sell these? Thank you!

the top bunk is double bed like the bottom because I see that it can be slide out.

I think the ropey thing in the shower is a sort of cocoon curtain that encloses a naked body without sticking to the enclosed, whilst funneling the grey water into the tray. If anyone has a better or actual reason, maybe they could comment.

I'd love to see what they do at the front of the H3 (high roof vans)

A while ago you showed a Carado, about the same price but a mtr longer! With toilet and shower separated

[fantomas]

One of them was MAN, but unfortunately no details.
