Of course, the Promaster will be cheaper but then again, are there compromises with the short length and interior facilities ie bathroom, galley, cupboards, and so on. I do think that the Promaster will be successful with the right interior and I also believe the LWB Ford Transit might be a real deal too. Our choice.
