Did anyone else spot the MeerKat attending a Ladies Only Meet in the USA, in last Sunday's edition of the above TV program? A brief glimpse only.

We've reported on the MeerKat on several occassions in the past and it is obviously a rip off of the Puck.

Are Hymer missing a trick here? They seem to be hell bent on producing several different models of Troll but isn't it about time they relaunched the Puck?

Agreed. Particularly with electric cars needing, currently , smaller, lighter vans to give decent range

Last week with nothing to do but to watch the rain, I decided to take another look at the Puck.
Obviously Hymer decided to lose the Puck and the Puck L because an entirely different set of parts to the rest of the range was needed. The Familia, Triton and Troll use identical parts except for the length although the new Trolls are now 100 mm wider than the rest.
What if ..................... A new Puck was considered but not as small as the original> Yes a shame about getting it into garages or narrow driveways but if the height/width was standard to the rest of the models, then the front windows could come back, the side entry door would remain the same and the interior furniture and fittings would be standard.
BMW got away with a far bigger Mini didn't they?
