MMM October edition

Should have a review of the Autosleeper Air on a Ford Transit  Custom base.
Anyone seen any further info on same??

I saw that item as well. Didn’t realise they were doing a Transit based model. Although the report says it’s in production nothing on the AS website. Even the “News” section make no mention.

It was originally  advertised to be in the September mag, then in the September  mag it was advertised  to be in  the October mag. Have AS actually managed to make one for them to test?

It's probably up in the air 

Perhaps they are waiting for Marquis to organise it. Which as we know, takes months. And months.

in production.

Hi Frederic, the full details, apart from price! are in yhe Oct issue of "what M/H"which arrived today .Regards    Paul

Brief write up in MMM . Only available through Marquis for first 12 months. It is a pop top as I predicted.  Short wheelbase Transit Custom Kombi in Trend spec. Price starting just under £60k.
Diesel heating, lithium leisure battery, Thule awning, solar panel, underfloor 15 litre gas tank, alloys and metallic paint. German pop top with roof bed on plastic springs. Rear seat/bed comes with three seatbelts and Isofix mountings for two child seats.
AS has taken an extra unit on the industrial  site in order to produce up to 100 examples. Full review in Nov issue.

It seems odd timing, given that Ford themselves have only just introduced their own Transit-based pop-top camper conversion.

Just weird that they should choose to launch theirs right now, when there have been many years when there would have been little competition...

And there is a LWB version with a fixed toilet  Approx. £67K
but no single bed option

think I will keep the Topaz
especially after all the effort to find one

Not my cup of tea. Surprised AS have staff to expand to another factory.

Being a Ford fan this might be a step towards other models. Not that they will produce anything in my price bracket these days.

Still no full review of the new Air, now MMM say it will be in December  issue. If I was looking to buy, I'd have gone to a different  make by now.
