IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Front lounge panel van

IH Oregon RLBased on the extra long Ducato, this high top conversion has an unrivalled amount of space and the feeling of it too. The separate living spaces are clearly defined - the lounge having a large and comfortable L-shaped sofa. The kitchen sits behind this, and at the rear is a luxurious washroom. The feature unique to IH campers is the GRP rear panel replacing the original steel doors with a boot-style door opening into a useful storage area.

Autocruise JazzJazz offers a great layout for such a small ‘van, but we’re awaiting detail changes to make this truly great. In this category, and with rear travel seats, it’s a best-of-breed contender.■ Price: from £38,461

Highly commended

Murvi MoroccoAn interesting take on its sister, the award-winning Morello, Morocco offers two easy-to-make single beds as well as an alternative double. ■ Price: from £41,551

Rear lounge panel van

East Neuk Fifer Touring SEAnother multi-award winner, and a very clever little motorhome. It’s one of the few sub-five-metre high top van conversions on the market, built on the short-wheelbase Fiat Ducato. The Fifer has many innovative touches, but the most important is the washroom. What appears to be a wardrobe, pulls out to create a decent bathing space. In the rear, a lounge can make a double or two single beds - offering rear seatbelts too. And it’s well equipped for the price.

Vantage CubA thoughtfully constructed high top, with a large rear lounge, offering a single beds option that’s unusual in a medium wheelbase camper.■ Price: from £42,950

Highly commended

Fixed bed panel van

Adria Twin SPWho’d have thought that this layout would become so popular? Adria was the first European manufacturer to introduce a fixed-bed van conversion to the UK and it’s still one of the the best around. Thanks to years of evolution, all the elements of this camper work well. The rear transverse double bed has fold up sections to allow you to use the bed area for stashing bulky items. You can have a custom version too - the GT is a bling-and-features filled stunner.

Autocruise PaceBritish and proud of it! Autocruise offers up a good interpretation of this fixed bed layout with a cosy and traditional feel to the interior. ■ Price: from £40,362

Trigano Tribute 665A neat washroom with a sliding basin makes the best use of space in Trigano’s version of this ever-popular design. The lift-up rear bed provides comfortable sleeping and flexible storage. ■ Price: from £37,959
