Tony and everyone else,

I can only agree. Get the Agilis; they steer great, have a comfortable ride, have a mild M+S profile which can help you not getting
stuck, and show hardly any wear after 30000 km on a Diesel Westy. Most European RVs and delivery vans get them from the factory.

Downsides: bit pricier than others, bit noisier than some (due to open profile) and can be hard to get hold of (even here in
Europe).

Regards,
Robin
