Horses for courses: I've had my 2020 Symbol auto for a couple of years and am really enjoying this nippy little van. At the minute I'm constrained by home parking and so the 5.4 metre length is essential, but if and when the parking issue is resolved I'd be up for a Symbol Plus. Different things suit different people - I've had no issues setting up the bed - I timed it - now I've got the knack it can be done in a minute - I mean sixty seconds - and very easily done in a minute and a half. Ninety seconds dosen't bother me. What I do like is the sofa facing the door - nice to sit facing an open door when the weather's up to it. Also the very spacious feel with the front seats rotated. Also the brilliant interior lighting which creaates a lovely atmosphere at night, The two main advantages that I'd expect from moving from Symbol to the Symbol Plus would be the improved washroom with tambour door and having the kitchen separated from the easily marked upholstery of the lounge. It is horses for courses, though. We're all different and different things suit us. I don't think there is any van conversion that would be right for everyone - but based on experience of its shorter sibling, I think that the Symbol Plus would suit me.
@@MotorhomeCampervan Sorry about the typo. Thanks for the heads up about the Murvi. In fact a Murvi was on my list when I bought the Symbol, but I wanted a van quickly and there was a Symbol available from stock - a Murvi would have to be built. Still interested in Murvi but a little concerned about the distance between Murvi's location in the far South West when I'm based in Pennine Yorkshire ...
Is it just me, or does the whole thing look like a (fairly competent) DIY job? Especially the home-made cushions! I just looked at the pricing (not that I would be interested in paying good money for this!), and it's "from" just shy of £60K! Sorry, but although I have an Austosleeper currently, I will be looking elsewhere for a bit of quality. Sadly, Autosleeper seem to have lost their way.
Making that bed up at mattress up then the bed sheets and bed quilt up ⬆️ at nighttime when you just want to fall into a bed and sleep 😴 is a right pain the hole 🕳 so no thanks from me . I’ll only start to get interested when they start installing fully automatic drop down beds that come from the ceiling down to knee height like the 6m chausson motorhome that I currently have … full width spacious end washroom and massive spacious lounge , have yet to see a smarter layout in 5 years that suits me
With respect guys, having six review videos where the first three minutes of all of them are identical is /really/ confusing.

If you do trade up to a 6m 'van, have you seen our review of the Murvi Pimento XL SB - now, that's a superb bit of kit!

What a palaver the bed is - ridiculous
