This looks class if you can drive it

[CazPaul]

Gift from a fellow camper. It was a nice change after 3 Months away. Like a bit of pale ale now and again.


Have you got a privacy screen Paul?

Yes

We saw that about 2/3weeks ago parked outside Chino shop at La Marina, the quality of the paint job was outstanding

We watched a film last week Geoff there was a great shoot out in a saloon, is yours similar to this one?

I’m not sure there will be any difference in view when driving, when parked up there are still windows at the sides.

Usually referred to as saloon on boats, so is same on my 'land yacht'

Agree Al, its a real quality job but very individual

I can’t imagine Jon how much time and money went into it unless he did it himself or got mates rates.

I’d argue best I’ve seen to date

Whenever I see one like that I always wonder how they are going to tilt the cab?

A friend of mine was an autoelectrician. he had one similar come in for some engine work and was swearing that he had to go in from the top, the front and from underneath with very poor access because they had disabled the tilt before building on it.

Thats another reason why they're better as an A Class

Have you looked at the options list for the Vario, it’s frightening, Victron 5000 Quattro inverter/charger x6 300 lithium totalling 1800 price €37,400.00 that’s more than we paid for our van.

I’ve been drooling over that since it was listed! I even suggested to Mrs Westy that I should take my class 2 (that’s if I could get through the medical, I failed it when I was 21)
I even had a good nosey at this today

See for me it just doesn’t do it, interior looks lovely but just think of dustcart when I look at the front.
But something like this I could definitely go for, love the truck front but not the pop up in the bedroom.

It looks well looked after, right platform, decent lounge, but the exterior looks are a bit marmite.

It looks well looked after, right platform, decent lounge, but the exterior looks are a bit marmite.

Im trying to ascertain what transmission is in it and whether it’s got a retarder/exhaust brake, Mrs Westy loves the lounge she says it reminds her of Brian’s Flairy van, she loves that van
Will it be a 6 pot jongood ?

The windscreen is absolutely huge a 10 grand job
I prefer them with much smaller screens where they don’t go as far upto the roofline and you have a decent amount of bodywork above the screen, aka this beautiful example and the good looking model with it.,

 

[CazPaul]

On a more serious note Martin I noticed in the 2024 Vario spec that the A class cab side windows and any glass habitation windows are tempered, insulating glass so no double glazing.

That’s a big YES from me if I’ve read it correctly.

Definitely a 6 pot, 6.9l is a 6 Cylinder, 4.6l is a 4

it says auto but you would need to ask which one, could be a 5 speed ZF, or Allison ( that would be good, I would consider an Allison) I think its to early to have the TGL chassis which would be a 12 speed and more power but more elctronics as well.

I'm under the impression that they use the MAN Coach screen which ASFAIK is not as pricey as some of the others. But Ive had 3 over 19 years and they' ve only ever cost us £75

It’s the aesthetics for me though Jon I prefer more bodywork without a huge expanse of glass.

I would be surprised if it wasn’t double glazed still.
