I had one of these in 2022 and crossed Europe in it . Have amazing photos of me and it parked beside the Eiffel Tower and the arch de triumph .. the narrow body perfect for driving around cities just like driving a car. I had the time of my life
I think I will end up buying one these because it ticks the most boxes for me. However I do not think Alan rates Chausson too highly because of build quality and warranty issues. I have watched a few of his videos on the 550 where he alludes to problems but never fully elaborates. It’s annoying and I think he should give us his honest opinion to help us decide whether to buy this model or not. Would any 550 owners like to pass on their experience with regards to build quality and warranty?
Alan, you mentioned problems with these and alluded to some falling apart. What specifically has gone wrong with these models, please? The side window has insufficient clearance for the usual blinds cassette as the drop-down bed is too close, hence the thinner roller blind on the window. Cheers Steve
This layout in a fully integrated van with smaller seating group (maybe in a bar version) and a drop down bed on top of the drivers cabin would be the shit.
Again the fridge too big for such a Van, it's just a selling point.. Not even a compressor. Chausson is not exactly high quality but it's a nice solution for the money.

I've had mine since January 2023 and love it. Some changes to the interior in particular over the last 2 years. A near perfect van for 2.
The roll down blind is so that when the bed goes down there enough room to get the bed . The blind has to be unrolled for the bed to pass .
Perfect Floorplan ❤

Very nice, I really like this one! The bathroom is nice too!😊

Perfect for me
I think it looks like a nice van. I was waiting for the problems but didn’t hear them.
The window is so it can be opened while the door open. If normal window the door would hit the open window
Looks good, but I wouldn’t buy another coachbuilt. A lot are still prone to water ingress, so we replaced ours with a panel van.
very nice, just shows if you dont try to squeeze in 6 people you have lots of storage
Window roll-down blind: bed wouldn't descend if there were a fitted blind/bug-net, as on opposite window

Because the size of the bed, pour avoir un lit plus grand.

but vegan instagrammer models eat lots of salads, and that takes up space
Not high quality? Really?
Why does it need to be a compressor fridge?
