I don't take your answer as impertinent at all. Thank you for replying.
My partner tried out the drivers seat in a few vans, fiat and Peugeot, and he found none of them particularly comfortable even using all the adjustments. He has long legs, dodgy knees and big feet (size 12). He couldn't imagine being able to drive any of them for a significant distance and we have plans to do a few long distance tours.
We have discovered Mercedes £££ to be very comfortable for him and the Transit base was OK, of course this greatly limits our choice of layout (we rather fancied an end lounge). This fly in the ointment has made our search rather more difficult and I really wondered if anyone out there has a similar experience or maybe knows of a van with plenty of leg room they could give us the heads up about.
Thanks once again for your reply, not sure I could get him to try out any more Fiats or Peugeots though (sadly, as I rather fancied a Bailey).
