I was quite impressed by the Zones when I’ve been looking at them and some friends purchased one which we got to have a good gander at. However I’ve nicknamed them ‘The Asylum’ because of that horrible clinical white interior. Why can’t / don’t Zone offer any colour choices for inside to tone down the glare of the white?? It’s the only thing stopping me from buying one - well that and the fact I’m not sure what would happen in the case of a small ding (eg tree damage to a panel) given that those panels are ‘glued’ to the internal cupboard furnishings etc.
@grahambelby9117Ай бұрын
Yes, they are very white and a little clinical at first sight, but we look at it more like a blank canvas where we can splash our own colours around, bedspread, pillows, wall pics etc. As for repairs, the fibreglass can easily be repaired if you damage it, we have seen first hand on other vans, a few holes before and after, and you wouldn’t be able to pick it. The furniture glued to the body gives additional integrity and strength to the whole van. We love our van, sometimes it comes down to personal preference. Thanks for viewing and your thoughts.

The main problem, is you take that oversize septic tank on public highways and don't have the decency to get off the damn road, instead you sit in la la land doing 90 odd holding everyone up for hours on end. Solution - donate said septic tank to a church to assist with the homeless, and may it never be on a public road ever again.
