We have a Puck L 230GT and we love it. Nice and easy to tow, push about and so easy to live in. We tow with a Peugeot Partner Tepee which is the same width as the Puck so no problems going down narrow road etc.. Where the car goes the Puck follows.
We have made a few modifications to ours. The table was too big for us so we have made a smaller table which is stored under the bed at night. We transferred the leg and rail from the original table. In the kitchen cupboard we have fitted a shelf which allows us to have two boxes with our food and kitchen pots etc. which we use as draws, easily accessible and no bending down to find something right at the back. Not really a mod more a personal preference, at night we make a half double bed, only filling in the top end which allows us to get in and out of bed easily and allows for a person to sit while the other goes to bed early or rise late. 
A couple of pointers for you, it might be my driving, I hope not, I put it down to the bounce from uneven road surfaces. The wardrobe rail has a habit of throwing it contents off, we stuff a small folded towel between the hanging rail and the top of the wardrobe. This seems to have cured that. The kitchen drawer has a habit of opening en route, so we have a bungee cord from the handle to the tap which cures that foible. Both the sink cover and the recessed corner cupboard tops seem to jump off en route, so we lie these on top of the food in the recess again with a towel on top as a precaution. A characteristic of the van I am sure.
We love ours, wouldn't change it for anything bigger, love the layout. We do not have nor want an awning, people look at it on the outside and wonder how two adults and a small dog can live in it. When we open it up for the shilling tour, they are really amazed at how big it feels inside and how comfortable it really is. I am sure you will love your Puck L, hope you enjoy your travels but be prepared for the curious unexpected visitors.

That's fantastic! I have a Puck L and they are brilliant. Just the right amount of space and easy to tow. I'm sure you will have lots of adventures and see lots of great places with it. Has your Puck got a name yet?

Thanks for your encouragement and hints!  Should be collecting her at the end of next week, and can't wait for my first camping expedition.

Name?  Hmm, dunno yet.  I suppose it could be Puckle - Originally from Middle English *poukel, *pukel and from Old English pūcel, meaning "a goblin, demon, a mischievous spirit"; but I'm thinking from old Eriba Puck L, possibly meaning "a mischievous camper".  Sounds about right methinks.
