Hey guys, My sister sent me this and I have to say, I'm super glad she found this.
The rowvan you've just purchased was my late grandfathers, the reason it is "not standard" is because he bought it as a burnt out shell with the trailer. Rebuilt it from the ground up. He used as many legit parts / copied the designs as best he could. But you'll find most if not all of the work was done by hand / in his wood shed.
We had many many years of happy camping in that Rowvan, it also had a full sized annex that attached to it.
I can try to find out more information if you need or would like.
But if nothing else, it would be great to see what you've done with it since.
I hope it serves you well, as it did us.

Hi Jrhappymeal,
Welcome to the Forum and thanks for telling us the background to your grandfather’s van. I’m so glad you found this post and provided the information you have.
As you will have picked up from this thread the origins of this van have been the source of a lot of conjecture over the years, and I personally had come to the conclusion that it wasn’t a Rowvan, and in one sense it isn’t, because your grandfather rebuilt the van effectively to his own design. But the point is that the van started life as a Rowvan and was based on the Rowvan design. So that is excellent to know. Mystery solved!
I hope that Sheppy sees your post. I’ll email him to let him know.
Don Ricardo

Proves the old adage, all good things come to those who wait. Great clarification of this van,
