Good stuff - great spec - we are receiving our new MP in December from our local dealer in Portugal. It will be our second one and really excited to get back into these great vans. Just been looking at the Portuguese configurator and the model year changes have come in, some small changes to options, so I’m working with the dealer to see how this effects our build. For us the van is the perfect tool for getting from our home in the Algarve to the UK 3 or 4 times a year (in more normal times at least) - agree re the awning, it sticks out like a sore thumb and makes stealth camping a little more stressful.
I’d wait for a few weeks before getting storage for the lower area under the rear shelf. You’ll find one of the best USP’s of the MP is the split tail gate and you’ll probably use the upper section a lot. Might be best to get a feel for where you what to put things before you commit…..
Anyway - good luck with the delivery and look forward to hearing your thoughts once ownership has commenced.
