The first and the newbie question, what do they call these models? I'm hoping there's a special term that I don't know about? You know, in order to filter out searches on autotrader, mobile.de or other websites as such.
I mean sure, it's really easy to find vans (not necessarily Sprinters either) with widened bodies if they're made by custom manufacturers, yet they go for 100 000 and above. I find them panel vans (even the Ducato with its 10.5cm extra inner width) too narrow, like "living in a hallway" as I've seen people put it. I welcome an open discussion on this opinion too.
Not only I think the costs are ridiculously high on predesigned/custom manufactured models, but I want to make the floor plans and everything myself anyway.
What alternatives would you suggest if what I'm looking for turns out not to be a viable solution? (maybe purchasing just a chassis and ordering a custom shell would be more cost effective?- although I kinda doubt cost effectiveness in this case)
