new R20 LO

[joe]

At last a claim to fame we were the first to view the new R20 LO this morning at ExCeL,managed to escape wlthout spending any more of the dwindling retirement fund but was very impressed and did go back twice more another look.There were a couple of things I wasn't to keen on but overall I think they have made a good up grade without losing any of the original concept since the C15.
The mods. to the HI model prototype have also been done very well.
Heres some pictures of the LO.

More R20 info/obs

Hi All,
Just returned after a full day ar the Excel show (many thanks Vanderella) here are some more photos and observations:
1) Both R20 vans look very good, clear signs of development since the Hi was first shown and both feel like 'the finished product' now with details like shot bolts and internal door handles sorted.
2) The loo option is very similar to existing R20s, well finished smooth surfaces with an independent Portapotti......... However if you dont mind pulling the loo out to use it, a porta potti can be stored below the fitted shelf in the standard van (the front nearside seatbox will also house it)
3) The grille looks of good quality and will certainly be more practical than our current 'letterbox' I thought it might be able to be used as a warming 'mini oven' but no it functions only as a grille! If not specified I believe a drawer is supplied.
4) Extras....... For me this was a surprise... there are a few unexpected things that now appear as charged extras... the lower rear door window, 2 ceiling spotlights are supplied as standard (4 have been shown on exhibited vehicles) so further spots are options, rear seatbelts. the L shaped lounge with added storage, a second table & fixings (for the offside) etc.
I have to stress the vehicles with none of the above items would be perfectly usable, however those wanting some of what was standard will not be paying the list/start price!
In these harsher economic times overall I think its good that there is a competitive start price for what is a quality vehicle. Romahome staff on the stand were clearly proud of the vans and their development, I think justifiably, I'm already saving up!
All the best
Andyvan:so happy:
