Auto-Sleepers Ravenna:
Long running Auto-Sleepers coachbuilt model, based on Ford Transit or Peugeot Boxer.  Classic layout with rear ‘L’ shape lounge, centre kitchen and washroom, front overcab bed.  Manageable length around the 6 metre mark.  Rear lounge is a pleasant relaxing area with plenty of light and drop window to one side.  Two different size tables are supplied, the small one can also be fitted into an arm support located beside the front passenger seat when swivelled.  Rear bed is quick to make up, of good size and comfortable.  Decent storage space under rear seats and in top lockers. 

One forward facing seatbelt fitted in rear nearside corner.  Kitchen well equipped with 60 litre fridge/oven/hob/grill, reasonable worktop space plus pull-up extension to increase food preparation area.

Wardrobe is wider than average for this layout offering good space.  Washroom is of the combined type with vanity, toilet and shower all together and there is enough standing space at the vanity sink.

Front overcab bed folds up to improve access/egress from cab, Heki rooflight in model viewed (good ventilation and light).

Very often bought and used as a 2 berth, using the front overcab as additional storage.

Points to note:

Front overcab bed tight for adults.  2 forward and 1 rear seatbelts, but communication with forward occupants virtually impossible from the rear at normal road speeds due to distance and noise from conversion, plus this is a vulnerable position in the event of a rear shunt.  Vanity plastics are thin and can have cracks, check vanity sink/plughole and shower tray/plughole.  Outside decals and skirts discolour and fade, especially if the vehicle has been cleaned infrequently or domestic detergents used.  Look for external fibreglass cracking or substandard repairs, especially to rear corners.
