Autotrail Tribute 680 or similar van conversions - thoughts?
Discussion
Currently looking to buy a used camper van/van conversion.
We need 4 belted seats, but only really need a two berth. The Autotrail Tribute 680 fits the bill just right with a front dinette and a rear lounge:
Just wondered if anyone has had any experience with these? Was hoping to get either a Burstner, Adria, Dethleffs etc, but they all seem to come with fixed rear beds...
Any pitfalls with this van? Any better alternatives?
Got ~£35k to spend...

Thanks everyone.
Yeah, there's hardly anything coming onto the market at the moment - I'm having the same difficulty trying to purchase a mini digger!
I'll have a look at IH, thank you!
Regarding Rear Lounge/Fixed Bed:
Long story short, we were initially looking at coachbuilt vans with a fixed island bed (Adrias, Burstners etc). However, we've realised that without another mode of transport, while away, going into town or just nipping places becomes a bit of a pain. Hence why we've moved onto van conversions....
But, this creates another problem. If it's raining and we have a guest or two, it all becomes a bit cramped around the cooking area, so the idea would be to enter the van via the rear barn doors, freeing up vital space at the front. Obviously if it's just the two of us, we'll keep the rear set up as a bed.
Thanks again everyone!
