Anyone at Lincoln to do some checking?
Personally I don't think it will be sighted till the NEC

All Partially explained in the new 2016 A/S catalogue out now.
Smaller fridge, different sink with inset taps!, different heating?? and a larger cooker (as in the other panel vans). this means I suppose less food etc. storage, also looks like the plastic trim is gone. Wonder what they have used in its place? Hope it is not like the change from the Mk6 to Mk7 Duetto where stylish trims were replaced by cloth covered board!
Still cannot find out the bed lengths or the type of heating

Always been its downfall and, given the T6 is just a facelift, I suppose this was the only way to achieve it.  Never found the fridge to be too big though, don't know how I'd manage with a narrower one!  I see they've put an oven below the hob and lost a lot of cupboard space as a result too, and have still stuck with the frightening seat fabric and nasty stick-on plastic "wood" effect on the dash.  Certainly nothing there to make me think of swapping mine for a new one.

Ok now I'm confused.  The bed lengths are listed at the bottom of the brochure and are exactly the same length as the old ones, 5'10" and 5'9"?
