Well you should be able to answer that one yourself Paul as you have owned about 5-6 in the short time we have known you!
now you have gone down to a van coach built version you have experienced from top to bottom
but don’t worry we will still speak to you
as long as no one is watching
the one in the picture looks like nice van

 

[suavecarve]

If that were your van it would be toast by now

Too soon ?

I often think the ups vans would make good conversions but you never see them. Wonder what they do with them when they've reached the end of their commercially useful life?

That would be a superior A class, one with a whoosh bang door

Believe they're not sold on and all scrapped to maintain brand integrity.

Their vehicle bodies are manufactured by various factories and believe there's a "patent / restriction" for them to be sold to anyone else.

Wash your mouth out! They are ex-Waitrose delivery vans.

I used to drive them, the bodies are thin aluminium with no insulation and semi opaque fiberglass roof to get some natural light in, I drove two types one Citroën based and like an A class and the other VW based and like a coach built the VW was nicer to drive, they had suspended drivers seats but the passenger seat was a fold down single bench seat.

I just wish Sainsbury's would stop painting their delivery van cabs white!

The amount of looks we get from their drivers saying "what the .... are they waving at" is becoming ridiculous!

I've not got the dough for an a class

 

[jongood]

Fwiw, it really depends what you want to do; if you want to drive to Lisbon and back in a week you probably dont want the extra weight of an A class. If you want to have a couple of months sight-seeing you probably dont want a Pvc, the choices are anything in between. How lucky are we to have all these options?

My 6m A-class weighs about the same as a 6m PVC. I'd guess the main reason a-classes tend to be hefty is because they tend to be long.

I wanted one when I first went full timing.
This is a good google term to search for. Include the quotes.

"Grumman Fruehauf"

Is the lady in these videos an Australian?
I too find them both very watchable.
