We looked at the swift challenger 630 but it was too long and would not fit on the drive so we settled for the Coachman .

from waht i've seen coachman are nice vans Thumbs Up

I don't have the problem of storage, but it does cost a £££ a year to keep it were it is, plus i can't load up over a few days without travelling back and forth, keep threatening to have the garden landscaped to allow it but the last quote was very expensive, but did include driveway levelling to same height and a new base for a double garage Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Looking good 'norfie' Thumbs Up , I see yours is slightly nose down as is mine when hitched irrespective of the noseweight. Not sure if this is a thing with the later ALKO chassis with the hitch slightly higher (have read this), as my previous van was level when hitched up Confused

What sort of weight are these vans? MTPM? Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

I see what you mean, our last van was a 2002 Sterling Eccles Onyx and that was level when hitched.
