I was speaking to him the other day, He also has VW's for hire. The Commer is nowhere near as popular as the 'other' type, obviously we still need to educate people [B)]

Well said, Mr. Watts. There are things one wouldn't/couldn't part with whatever sort of money was offered.
I must admit that I find this '73 camper from Norfolk Retro Campers quite appealing. I don't know what has been done to it since new, but the Maidstone inspiration on which it has been created (as they say themselves) has resulted in a very interesting vehicle. Obviously, the Maidstone was no longer in production in 1973, but the base vehicle with bus windows all round, the side door and the smaller concertina camper roof - all like the original Maidstone - has made it a pretty unique vehicle in my eyes. The interior is very nice too, very nice indeed ! I don't like the massive rear sofa which seems very dominant, but apart from that I find this camper very desirable.

It is a lovely van, but I agree with Jostein about that dominant rear seat. I suspect it is to appeal to the VW market where there is no choice about the layout because of the wrong position of the engine. It does appear to make a very large bed though. Could you replicate that by taking out the rear seat and having side facing benches, it appears to have one already, then you could use the rear doors. However, it is all a matter of personal preference.
I am also not so keen on the location of the gas bottle, I hope there is adequate venting in the floor of that cupboard.

Yes, Panky. You're quite right. The proper 3-point seatbelts in that rear back seat shows the advantage of a rather unusual seating layout.
And like you say, Renaultvation: The rear seat must be inherited from the Volkswagen van layouts, where the (only) sensible location for the rear seat is above the engine.

It looks more like the beds being fitted into VW T4s as in it will be a free standing unit which is bolted to the floor, rather than having part of it on the rear shelf above the engine like in a bay or split
