For the van to have strength this roof strut should be replaced

If it was converted by Autosleeper originally, then I think it wouldn't have, regulations would not have allowed it.
I would rather think a PO has removed it unaware of the safety implications

thanks scottbott,,I bought the van (not knowing much about them) , After joining the forum & looking at different models on here,i don't think its an original Autosleeper..Doesn't bother me tho,its great to get out & about it & looking forward to our first camping trip in a couple of weeks time.

If someone spent the time to refit their interior and removed the supporting bracket, that would be very silly. :rollin
