  Nice to see a decent living area for rainy days (long sofa and swivel chairs) and a sofa with a view out of the side door, but that bed looks too narrow to be comfortable for 2. Maybe transverse bed with the washroom opposite the kitchen would be an alternative use of space 👍

• 
  @robbrigham59263 ай бұрын

  My thought exactly - such a big van to have such a narrow bed. And I loved the sofa but presumably means no ability to carry passengers. Would be a palace for a solo traveller - in fact too much space for one but just wouldnt work for two in that bed.

The compromise makes sense on a short wheelbase 5m long Cali but something this big its a bad design to not have a wider bed. Plus the bed is only that width at the top - it tapers to what looks like 80cm at the bottom, so someones feet are going to be falling out of the bed!

  Absolutely fantastic van and review but, jeez, you need to look at your prices mate - there’s a few dealers you can get brand new LT’s (with and without drop-down bed) and MQ’s for nearly 13 grand less than you’re charging.

  I bought a 373 from Nick Whale four years ago. It has been perfect with absolutely no quality issues. The garage is massive and easily takes two full size e-bikes along with everything else. I’m a little surprised Andy didn’t mention one of the biggest benefits - there is no wood in the bodywork so nothing to get damp and degrade over the years which is a really big deal as your van gets older. Our habitation checks are perfect after four years. I also appreciated the advice (without a hard sell) I got from the team when I was considering which van might suit me. Nobody has asked me to write these comments.
