Saw this whilst browsing vans - as you do? What hasn't it got?
The ability to get from the cab to the hab without going outside.I really cannot comprehend why anyone does it? Might as well be towing a caravan:

dont own one yet.
Nice interior BUT if you going to spend that much dosh it would never be based on a Iveco, no HGV driver would even consider it, you would have a minimum of 500 BHP but even better make mine on a FH 750 with I shift please, forget about a manual gearbox, if you have tried Volvo’s I shift system then you know better😇, maybe tomorrow eh? After the euro millions 😎😆😆😆

Looks amazing but it's not a 'go anywhere' truck with that rear overhang, it would bottom out on any severe off roading.

Would suit me though 🍻

I noticed that. Also very little ground clearance. I would have not had the side boxes so low and would have extended the chassis to reduce the overhang.

But to be fair. I know nothing about overlanding so could be miles out on this one.

I love the uptairs to bed and downstairs to the bathroom ;) but yes my first impression was "too much overhang and no rear cut off" but really it's not a full blown off-roader but a very capable and well appointed vehicle by the looks of it though I was looking for more spec like tank sizes batteries how much solar etc etc.

It's manual jongood and we will be passing them New Year ;) maybe Jen will have to do her C after all:unsure: although thinking about it she will draw the line at changing gear so it's all yours, OH hang on you wouldn't have an IVECO, WESTY66 you have first refusal:LOL: or is it yours already.
