Hi folks, this is my first foray into the camper & bus forum. Apart from a recently aquired Marathon beetle I have had an Autosleepers T4 Trophy for about 18 months. This is a strange camper as the back of the T4 has been removed and a shower room grafted on the back constucted of glass fibre. The shower room contains a cassette loo, shower and sink with hot and cold, and a small wardrobe and gas storage. Full 240v electric provision for water heating and gas fuelled blown air space heating. A fixed high top roof and a comprehensive range of good quality fittings make for a comfortable touring campervan with up to 40mpg.
Used to have a 1972 Dormabile Bay for 10 years complete with two growing kids so know how to be organised.
The Trophy makes for a superb day van as well with the toilet facilities so useful when out in the wilds.
Sorry to go on a bit but really do like this camper.

Is that like the Topaz with the shower unit fitted as standard? :confused: Bet you feel smug when you watch other people putting up their tents! :eek::D

I think the Trophy was introduced before the LWB T4 was introduced in 1992.The LWB does not have the shower room grafted on cos the longer body could accommodate it. However the LWB does have a slightly smaller cooking area.
