New Model : Stanway

I saw the new Auto-Sleepers Stanway at the NEC yesterday - its well worth a look at.

There is a video under the Peugeot van conversions at the link below.

We went today and the new concept design was a good looking and spacious van. 

Except for the toilet compartment which is made for midgets!

and the bed for light-weights by the look of it.

you build some nice motorhome in England  comfy and cosy like your british house

looks good....still in design stage and NOT YET TYPE APPROVED....if A S listen to the comments made by the above members and read the blogs then they should be able to solve these design faults...if they read the blogs !!

I particularly like the kitchen layout - seems to be far more work-space than is usual, even in otherwise really
 well-equipped vans.

If the production model is as good, it may even tempt me away from my beloved, but now elderly, Rapport!

Please point me at the 'Bloggs'

Rear travel seats with fixed vertical back-rests are really uncomfortable after about 30 minutes, in my experience. The problem is that shaped backrest cushions are no good for making a flat bed.

I agree that the idea of sitting against the back of the driver's seat is worrying. In regard to your comment re the flat bed, I think this is where the Duvalay becomes indispensable!

Sorry to be thick but this forum is my only 'on line social activity'. I thought these were posts and blogs were something else?

I was not referring to sitting against the back of the driver's seat (presumably when parked) I was commenting that the rear travel seats (with seat-belts) will become uncomfortable very soon when travelling.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

We rather enjoy (and use a lot) the rear exit on our Ford Transit Duetto.

The loss of that (it would seem from the video), is one obvious downside of the new layout.

Is that really the last Stanway comment ?
Jan 2017. We have just pxd our Duetto for a Stanway and are very pleased with the new layout. The Duetto rear doors were a bonus but the extra space in the Stanway makes up for it. Now have defined lounge/wardrobe/kitchen areas within a 6m van conversion. There is a lumbar bolster for the 2 travel seats. However, big difference in the driver/leisure features of the Transit vs Boxer layout up front?

Hi and welcome to the forum from Bridlington

Hi there and a big welcome to the forum from a nice frosty site in Louth 

Could some wise member advise me as to the purpose of the loose connector (yellow) in my Stanway (Peugot Boxer) vehicle battery compartment. Thanks

The post you refer too was from April 2017 so I guess not. Someone might know now?
