Hi Richard -
Great to see the new NCV3 style James Cook posted here!
My personal opinion is that the interior layout (while also including some nice improvements to various details) is a step backwards from the T1N James Cook/ Airstream Sprinter Westfalia layout. The pullman style kitchen w/ bathroom opposite layout is, in my opinion, not as efficient as the T1N style kitchen which allows for two people to pass each other albeit in a small space.
Interestingly, it looks like Westfalia/ Mercedes is going to be introducing the T1N style layout on the VW Crafter platform. Stay tuned for more info on this . . .
