Get stuck into this week’s show with our Auto-Trail V-Line 636 SE review. This new-for-2017 panel van conversion packs in twin fixed single beds at the rear that are 6ft long – or make them up into a large double.

Of course, when you’re not sleeping, this layout gives you a spacious rear lounge that, thanks to the barn doors, can become an al fresco experience. Tune in to see this Auto-Trail’s clever, wide-opening doors that help you make the most of sunny days, as our Editor Niall Hampton demonstrates.

You can also see the compact kitchen, all-in-one washroom and the thoughtful design of the storage. So don’t miss this week’s Practical Motorhome TV show.
