PLAN YOUR PERFECT 2019
In an ideal world, ’van manufacturers would work out which models and layouts have sold the most, and why, then put the best bits from each together to make a world-beater.

Auto-Sleepers’ customers liked the rear layout in the Stanway, but weren’t taken by its front lounge, one reason why it has been discontinued.
