dear dave, i would buy the abbey we used to have the abbey aventura 318 fixed bed at the back. our relatives had a lunar freelander fixed bed they had trouble with their water pump all the time not our abbey. also they dented their van putting the awning up. the abbey has the grp panels i would not buy any other van it also seemed to keep the heat in better than the freelander buy it you won't be dissapointed regards sue
