4 Berth Holy Grail?

[TonyJones]

Newbie Question time! Hi,
What were looking for doesnt seem to exist although to me it seems so simple.

Basically we are looking for a 4 Birth - Fixed Rear Double (with Garage underneath) and 2 Singles. Our children are 14 & 12 so will not share a Double overcab.
Does such a layout exist? All I can really find is 6 birth, which we dont want / need.
Budget is about £40 - 50,000....New or Nearly new.
Thanks

Hi Simon, welcome to the forum! I've "upgraded" you so you don't have to copy those squiggly letters anymore.
As to your question, it's quite a poser! I don't suppose you and your other half fancy the overcab double? That'd open up a few possibilities for vans with singles further astern.
I'm sure there IS a van with the beds you want out there somewhere, but I can't remember seeing it.
Any of the regular test-drivers or showgoers suggest anything?

Many low profile vans now have a drop down double from the habitation area and twin fixed beds in the rear over a garage, perhaps that might do the trick

This one with twin bunks and a front double is available here new for C 48000€ or about £42800
