Love this van! Spinning the middle seats for a perfect chill spot after a hot day on the beach.

Drove 375 miles from Edinburgh to Bedfordshire last night without missing a beat. Approximately seven hours driving and a lot of petrol.

Carlisle to Lancaster and back @10.6Km/L - absolutely faultless and supremely comfortable! Used less than half a tank! I'd been around town for 70km after filling up before setting off today (Tesco Momentum is currently used)

4 of us (and the dogs) Drove from Carlisle to Ely Saturday, Ely to Watford and back (Harry Potter studio tour) on Sunday then back to Carlisle on Monday. Total fuel used 116.54 litres and covered 1088km. 9.33Km/L real world fuel use and 9.4Km/L on the screen. Happy with that - all things considered from my thread about various issues

We bought an Elgrand after the engine blew up in our caddy maxi. We had already planned and booked a trip round Switzerland but then had no car. Saw a local Elgrand on Facebook marketplace the wife fell in love with. Bought it, then 2 weeks later did 2800kms round France and Switzerland in it! Didn't miss a beat! Was fantastic! So comfy to drive no back issues drove sweet. Just cost abit in fuel

Trip from the East Midlands down to South Devon and back over the weekend. 771km.
Shirokuma, our white E51 didn’t miss a beat.
Didn’t do the Km/L calculations. I didn’t think I could bear it.

I've been laying up the Elgrand recently, max 18mpg commute on E5 is getting a bit much on the wallet lol. However, using the Chevrolet Spark (50mpg round town) is wearisome and boring, just spent a week away with the Chevy on tow behind the Motorhome. 40ft total length and hard work & stressful on narrow country lanes, managed about 30mpg overall.
First thing I did when I got back was fire up the E51 and blat it around the local lanes for about twenty miles, the joy of steering the auld bugger made the downwardly creeping fuel needle insignificant to me.
Love it.

Get yourself some vacuum bags for the pillows etc, makes a huge difference to space (means you can cram more in

Almost 24mpg, and that grass looks better than most of the grass in the UK, looking at the tent I thought you would have driven in to keep the bus clean
