The appeal of many with these campers IS the fixed bed ready to go.
Don't know of anything especially negative about the Mitsubishi they certainly sell OK,

on the campers, well they do come up for sale quite often and are (very) cosy, for myself and from what I can see and what isn't mentioned in the advert is the bed issue would quickly become a drag and certainly affect resale,
there are other makes for that sort of money,
'Bookend's thread elsewhere this month on here details his search for an Apollo which are made in Lancashire if your interested,

My first daft question - can a bike rack be fitted when there is a rear door?

Thanks in advance for anyone that takes the time to read

Chris

We've not bothered with a rear bike rack on 2 counts:-
1. I don't want to add any additional weight that far back on the camper thus resulting in a greater counter balance.
2. We'd prefer to leave the access to the rig easy, especially if it's raining.

We've invested in 2 folding bikes which we put on the rear seat of the double cab & strap in using the seat belts. This helps to keep the centre of gravity forward in a bid to keep the whole rig level :)

These are the right money for an occasional ride out without going daft.........in my opinion ;)

Wow, loads of info already. This is amazing!

I found this one which I don't think you ave in your for sale links: http://www.gumtree.com/p/campervans-mot ... 1095883240

I will get in touch with Golum when I'm back home.

I'll think about the bike issue, I love mountain-biking so not sure about the folding bike.

Anyhow, thanks so much, I'll check back in ina couple of days when we have a plan (or are more confused than ever)!

Hello and welcome. I put my full size bike across the back seat of my double cab. I need to take the front wheel off however. I don't think you could get two in there though.

I suppose it's not a practical idea carrying them inside the camper co's of mud etc, I know we've seen them on racks carried off the back,
some of the Skarrosers' have a roof/luggage rack too of course.
