New(ish) Inca owner
Hello all! Bought our Inca in August and joined the forum today. Haven't been able to use it as much as we would have liked - it's going back to the dealer in a couple of weeks for rectification of a fairly major problem. What use we've had we have enjoyed greatly - very comfortable, easy to drive. (Particularly like the lighting when it's cold and dark outside.) Looking forward to getting away for extended periods, probably next year now though.
Ours doesn't have swivelling seats. I'd like to fit a swivel to the drivers seat but someone said the extra height might make driving uncomfortable? Also, does anyone have a swivelling passenger seat? And has the smallish water tanks caused anyone a problem? Look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome from N.E Wales
I wonder why yours hasn't got a swivelling drivers seat, this MMM report says they do..

Re: New(ish) Inca owner
My INCA was an end lounge. The drivers seat didn't swivel as the bathroom was behind it but the passenger seat did.
It was used a great deal with many rallies on greenfield sites and never had a problem with the capacity of either tank.
The reduction in toilet cassette size from our previous Duetto caught me by surprise but wasn't a problem after that.

Re: New(ish) Inca owner
Thanks for the quick replies. I think the swivelling drivers seat was an option. But would a retro fitted swivel possibly result in a higher seat than if fitted at the outset? (Although I can't imagine why it would)

The video at the link above shows how to do it. It looks to raise the seat by about 3/4" which shouldn't be a problem.

Hi, thanks for that. By bunk, do you mean the bench seat opposite the dinette?rocket launcher wrote:I have the ek superb van I have the swivel seat never use it

We like to use as 2 single beds - dinette makes up easily into a great bed, opposite bench needs the driver seat to be slid all the way forward, and an infill "benchette" inserted. The result is also a great single bed, but I wondered if the same result could be got by just swivelling the drivers seat around.
It's going back to have the entire fresh water system replaced - diesel contamination. We didn't do it, the dealer says they didn't know about it, but they are replacing the system at their own cost and giving us a courtesy car for the duration - about 10 days. I'll be happy just to get it back in a usable condition.
Where have you been with yours?

Re: New(ish) Inca owner
By bunk, I mean the overhead cab really good for putting everything from bedding to water bottles when travelling
the "benchette" has to be inserted you do not get the same result spinning/swivelling the drivers seat around as there is a gap and it will not fit flush.
another good hint is to use the memory foam toppers about an inch thick on top of your beds that way you don't feel the gaps in the cushions
I use an aqua roll to fill up the tank on site with a whale pump which plugs in the cigarette charger to transfer from roll to tank
here is one on the bay 350649468763
you also get a terrible draft or temperature difference from the front cab its worth hanging a blanket from the top bunk and hanging
behind the seats to segregate the 2 areas
Also bought some lillypad windblockers the ones with the inner linings
http://www.windblockers.net/
really good for summer use double to size of your living space sides have to be made to measure size
I usally go to the lakes but have also travelled midlands and cromer when I do the 2 weeks summer

Thanks for that. Yes, we use memory foam toppers, sleeping in the van is better than at home.rocket launcher wrote:By bunk, I mean the overhead cab really good for putting everything from bedding to water bottles when travelling

Still thinking about an aquaroll/pump as opposed to a hose - hose takes up less room but of course you have to move the van. Or maybe just a smallish container, a funnel, and lots of healthy walking!
Ours came with curtains that separate the cab and hab areas, but we will be getting silver screens as well.
We're hoping not to stay put for more than 2/3 days at a time, travelling through Europe (we're retired, highly recommended) so don't want to be fiddling about with awnings etc.
Enjoy your travels!

Well, 10 days was a bit optimistic - picked it up today. A bonus is that the new fresh water tank is 80 litres, old one was 50. Everything looks OK but we'll keep an eye on things for the next few weeks!
