Looks good. Here in the USofA until recently our camper vans were conversion from the normal American family van which had a much lower roof line. The 'European' style vehicles have only recently become popular here. It makes for a much better camper. And a better delivery truck for small loads.

Neat! Can we see how it is configured inside?

I tried to give you thumbs up but have noticed recently it only will insert the thumps up at the start of the post, ahead of the quote. :arg

It looks similar to an Amazon delivery van. Could it be that you've reached the Prime of your life?

It is. That's the same van wearing a different badge.

It looks like the Amazon van is stretched a bit more and/or the rear axle was moved forward a bit.

The only way to truly tell would be for him to bring that thing over and drive it up to my house and see if the dogs go crazy. Animals have a special understanding that is beyond our understanding.

Wiki she say:
The Fiat Ducato is a light commercial vehicle officially developed by Stellantis (formerly FCA) and produced since 1981. It has also been sold as the Citroën C25, Peugeot J5, Alfa Romeo AR6 and Talbot Express and later as the Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper, and Peugeot Boxer, from 1994 onwards. It entered the Canada and United States markets as the Ram ProMaster in May 2014 for the 2015 model year.
I knew there were a few versions but not that many.

Some phone shots of the interior I shot for a mate who is fitting a reversing cam for me.

Jeepers! It's like the Tardis. Has its own backyard and outhouse in there!

Will the reversing cam give you a mirror image or a true image? I had a loaner Toyota Something-or-other a couple of years ago with a reversing cam which gave a mirror image. Your brain knows it's a camera so you expect a camera image but of course the picture is where you have spent the last 40 years looking at a mirror so it's a little befuddling.

My 2018 Toyota Corolla is the first car I have had with a back view camera. I love it. My old eyes and brain are not good at judging space around the car so I use the backup camera to check to be sure I am centering in the parking space. I do know how to adjust the mirrors so there is NO blind spot. That is the only good thing I learned from the mandatory-by-my insurance company Defensive Driving Course. Everything else about safe driving had had already learned from the Smith System my employer required. Oh yes, one more thing, but I am not sure it is good. The Defensive Driving instructor said cops cannot give you a ticket for ENTERING the intersection on a yellow light. I still hit the brakes and check the inside rear mirror simultaneously when I see it turn yellow to check against being hit from behind.

You are kidding? Your insurers can make you do a course?

I've had insurers who knock 10% off if you do a defensive driving course. I don't think I've had one insist.
