We are thinking of buying an auto sleeper stanway, but can't see much room for storage. I.e levelling blocks, outside chairs, outside table etc

Is there anyone out there with this van? What do they do? How do they rate it overall?

reviewed recent by either MMM or What Motorhome....

yes, the lack of external storage is a serious failing....as it is with many AS vans...

also, whats the point of a double dinette (that excludes the cab area and seating) when the van only sleeps two?

it just wastes space in an already short van (6m), whereas a half dinette, incorporating the two cab seats, would still allow four to dine and to travel in belted seats, yet would allow for an extra half metre or more to be used either for a larger lounge or for a better shower room...or anything else...

either way, however, the external storage needs to be improved.

check out the Hymer B DL 444 to see how this layout (rear corner kitchen, front lounge) can work well..

...it even adds a large drop down bed (which can be a double or two singles) plus large garage for two bikes.....all in the same six metres..
