Each to their own. Having used both internal and external, I much prefer external. Rainbow Screens make high quality ones, which are what we have
Our Sven came with quite poor internal ones, hence we bought sone much better external screens from Rainbow Screens
About 30-34mpg depending on load and wind direction!
Have you done any travel in mainland Europe with it? Wondering what sort of consumption you can see around 120-140kmh.
Yes we travelled to Portugal/Spain last spring, and Tuscany last autumn. I tend to stick to 65mph max, so that helps but getting over 30mpg consistently
Our Sven is the 140 single turbo, so maybe that’s the difference?
As a soon to be Sven owner, can you recommend any must have accessories in addition to the external screens you've already mentioned?
It’s very well kitted out, so it’s just a matter of customising to make it yours. The one thing you might want to consider is insulating the pop-out section - this is the one criticism I have, the design is brilliant but the pop out isn’t really very well insulated. I no sorted this quite easily with some adhesive insulation and felt, but this should be standard really.
Love the headboard, great idea and makes it very homely!
Thank you ever so much, I was also going to comment on the headboard, it looks absolutely brilliant. Did you make that yourself as I really fancy on of those. It also does a great job of breaking up the plastic. Also are you able to sit up in bed as the overhead cupboard does look quite low?
Thank you! We had that made (https://www.foamandcovers.co.uk/) and it fits quite well in a recess in the wall. Yes you can sit up in bed - just about!
Thank you ever so much (again!) I've emailed them about getting one for my new Sven. Such insight, Westfalia should adopt your idea it's much better than resting on plastic! Did you glue it on or did you use detachable Velcro ?
You’re very welcome. The supplier provided adhesive large Velcro strips which hold it in place. I agree it’s much nicer than the plastic, and actually it’s nice to have the blank canvas to customise how you want I think.
