£75k is still a lot of money, but look at what you get for it! The design and construction of the interior is superb IMO, and it appears to be well put together. I love the fact that you can turn the drivers seat round to give more seating within the camper area itself. Another great Motorhome and review Nick, thank you. 👍
My friend has just bought a home made one that's very similar, it's a 2011 sprinter and for that it only cost him£4,500. It was built by a plumber so it's got a great water and heading system.
Wow, looks actually spacious inside! The wetroom is decent, the beds are really nice, enough space in the kitchen, great fridge/freezer for the size. And pretty discreet on the outside! Sweet! Cheers!
I like how they separated the areas. Instead of angular blocks they used soft, rounded section that make the entire van look bigger. That and the very well designed lighting make this one stand out! Thanks for the tour!
Happy Saturday Nick. Impressive use of interior colors and lighting on this Mercedes WildAx Elara. In small spaces this combination REALLY makes a difference. Another great review sir. 🥂
Hi Nick. This conversion is fantastic. Good colour choice exterior and interior. Table sorage and swivel front seats. Like it a lot. Great video thanks 😊
HI Nick! We're back! lol...Hey there's an RV that is also a Boat here on TH-cam, it's called the "Terra Wind", easy to find. Just saying, If you could get a tour of that, you could put the same video on two channels simultaneously...twice as much video for the editing time..lol Kind Regards
Having showered a few times in a wet bath in a travel trailer, I wish there was a place to hook the shower head over head, I hate having to hold it and shower. In addition, I wish there was a foot operated on off switch, water conservation would be enhanced. This all might be picky, but just offering suggestions for continuous improvement. Would also like foot operated switch/valve for kitchen sink, again with goal of water conservation.
Nice Vlog👍and nice RV. Love the color choices inside, gives it a larger feeling with the lighter color and dark accents. Well appointed and nice amount of storage for it's size!
Nice piece of kit but for £75,000 I would expect nothing less than perfection. I would imagine that same design and spec on a Fiat/Peugeot chassis would be about £15/20,000 less.
These are amazing, Nick! I was wondering if you would have any access to any of those expedition/explorer type motorhomes too. Would be great to have your take on those!
Space is a premium in most vans. The cooker looks great but sitting on the countertop is space that could have been used for food preparation, form over function! Why separate the controls for heating (need to climb over the seat to get at) & 12v, water etc? The table support near the 3rd seat is at shin/foot level, looks like someone will lose some skin on that one. The mattress partly covers the windows? When a quilt or other bedding is on the mattress your not going to have much of a view! No cupboard for longer clothing like shirts, coats etc. This van has not been well thought out. The van sure looks pretty, but it's all bling.
Very nice motor home...I just find that drainage plug looking kinda cheap and sticking out to the point, all it takes is one medium-size pothole and your drainage valve is busted....other than that a nice van to cross the good old trans Canada highway.....maybe.😁
Each to their own but that’s a lot of money. For that kinda cash you can get the absolute top of the range Coachman Lusso and a pretty decent tow car and still have change. And it’s got a shower!!
I like it only I'd modify it so that the shelf in the back doors would slide out. Also I saw the TV in the sleeping area but is there one in the main living area. Would be cool if there was an extra cushion to enlarge the bed like the boats have.
I'm surprised you are able to view any or even that there are any in storage seeing as everyone wants to have a motorhome. Apparently sales are going through the roof again. The world is going crazy lol
Hey what happened with the extending work top? Sounded pretty cronky and didn’t seem keen to extend up properly 🤣 One of the better van conversions but very pricey. Great tour as always, thanks Nick 👍
Oh, right hand drive, rats! Otherwise I would have put in a bid. No can do in Canada, I’d get mixed up. Plus , it would be costly to set up a 240 volt charge line as here it’s 120 volt systems. All that said, it’s a beauty.
Not my favourite floor plan, beds are a waste of space for day living, if they were lower they could double up as useable seating given that the only seating is the two front seats as the side seat doesn’t look very practical. I really don’t get fixed bed in such small vans
I'm not sure it's about using the space badly it's just finding the right layout for you. I wouldn't want to make a bed every night for example, so a narrow body, long wheel base van like this looks like it suits our needs. Lots of motorhomes are around 7 mtrs and with fixed beds. Given the price it's a lot more usable and the bed more comfortable than the smaller VW vans which can easily get to £60k - £70k
I do watch aquaholic as well and I really am quite torn! 75 grand for a two birth van or the same for a boat! If I had the cash I really don't know. Van. More use but horrible campsites Boat more ongoing expense but wonderfull freedom and scenery! Why do people choose one or the other?
I take it those tambour doors at the foot of each bed enclose hanging wardrobes of a sort? If not there appears to be no wardrobe space at all. My wife wouldn't have that!
Only £75,000........................... I bought a used 2017 314 lwb with aircon in Jan 2020 full service history £14,000 I then spent six grand turning it into a beautiful campervan.All in £20,000 so glad I wasn't born a minute ago
This is a nice van but no way is it worth £75,000.00. You can buy a genuine motorhome for £20,000.00+ less with full walk in shower and dropping bed and huge garage at 3.5tonnes for class B license. I don't see why someone would pay more for this unless they had to get it down a narrow mountain pass or something but even then. Still not worth it in my book. The problem they have is the van being so costly to begin with.
that is better than a house more people will downsize to motorhomes like this although the gamechanger for vanlife is if supermarkets allow people living in vans like these to stay in their car parks overnight like wallmart do in the states etc
I work away 5 days a week so 4 of those days I sleep over, That would drive me nuts, it would cause CLOUSTROPHOBIA, such a tiny space of sitting area if your sitting on the drivers seat the back is so close to the steering wheel you would feel pushed forward sitting in it, Where the control is your bound to split your head open at some stage coming in without having to think obout it, that should of been shortend by 4inches, I see lots of these vans converted mostly by women and they are spacious stunning in design and exceptionally homely, the wood cut and finishing is shocking, Mine is a coach build not that homely but badly needs a womens touch I admit, but for this to be a professional touch if by MERC is so bad, Back doors should have a shower on them even a couple of hammocks maybe, I personally think the would looks so cheap and its light show is trying to blind people to what it really is, I have seen MERC converts to die for but at £75,000 that is so poor. Only telling part of what I really think, if you put a thumbs down like I did you should also be constructive as I do when I put a thumbs up. Seriously I would run out of INK on my MacBook Pro if I really told you how badly thats designed, Ray K UK YNWA.
Hello I'm Ezio from Sicily Catania, I saw on you tube many of your van van vans camperized, all one more beautiful than the other, I like them all, but I having a large family of 5 I have 6 people I wanted to know if you have van van vans camperized for family from 5 I have 6 approved seats. Thank you. Response aspect.
This is specified as having a 3500kg GVW and a 330kg payload …… less with options. I don’t think that is enough. This problems besets many campervans over 6m.
I can listen to him all day. What a comfortable, pleasant tour!
I like the level of finish on this one, and that pass through looks handy
£75k is still a lot of money, but look at what you get for it!
The design and construction of the interior is superb IMO, and it appears to be well put together. I love the fact that you can turn the drivers seat round to give more seating within the camper area itself.
Another great Motorhome and review Nick, thank you. 👍
Thank you for watching :)
My friend has just bought a home made one that's very similar, it's a 2011 sprinter and for that it only cost him£4,500. It was built by a plumber so it's got a great water and heading system.
It would be unusual that you can't turn drivers seat round !
@@Yeoblade There are a few that that have the drivers seat fixed in the forward facing position.
All the vans I have had for the last 55 years have had swivelling front seats. This is a great piece of kit! When my premium bonds come home......!🙏💐😁
Wow, looks actually spacious inside! The wetroom is decent, the beds are really nice, enough space in the kitchen, great fridge/freezer for the size. And pretty discreet on the outside! Sweet! Cheers!
Build this on the 4x4 version of the sprinter and you’ve got my dream camper 😍
Agreed would be better in 4x4 also I would prefer more tint in windows for privacy
I can't get over how thick the mattresses are!! Wow love it! 👍
Hi beautiful, how are you doing?
I like how they separated the areas. Instead of angular blocks they used soft, rounded section that make the entire van look bigger. That and the very well designed lighting make this one stand out! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
Happy Saturday Nick. Impressive use of interior colors and lighting on this Mercedes WildAx Elara. In small spaces this combination REALLY makes a difference. Another great review sir. 🥂
Many thanks!
What a nice small camper! That storage in the back can sleep my three kid, love it!
It's small but well equipped boat Nick Sir.. Indeed lights are great.. And Looking dashing as always..
Another good one for a couple or two friends great for touring round the Uk or Europe.
Very nice indeed for a couple to get out exploring. Absolutely love it!
Hi Nick. This conversion is fantastic. Good colour choice exterior and interior. Table sorage and swivel front seats. Like it a lot. Great video thanks 😊
Glad you like it!
Now this is one clean low profile camper. I love it.
HI Nick! We're back! lol...Hey there's an RV that is also a Boat here on TH-cam, it's called the "Terra Wind", easy to find. Just saying, If you could get a tour of that, you could put the same video on two channels simultaneously...twice as much video for the editing time..lol Kind Regards
That would be awesome! 😄

Wow what a nice motorhome
another nice one Nick your opening my eyes up to the world of the tourer ty
A very nice one
For the price this ain't bad at all. Very good review. 👍.
Nice looking van.
Now that would be my ideal camper, maybe a composting toilet, but other than that, perfect!
A composting toilet in a Motorhome,🤣 It takes months to compost shit!
Nice Nick
Great one for 2 people.
Love these motorholic videos nick!
Glad to hear it!
Nice piece of kit but for £75,000 I would expect nothing less than perfection. I would imagine that same design and spec on a Fiat/Peugeot chassis would be about £15/20,000 less.
Very nicely thought out.
another brilliant video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, that is beautiful. Well done!
i guess it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new series online ?
@Jon Kaysen Flixportal xD
@Terrance Langston Thanks, I went there and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!!
This is fabulous... only thing I would want is a slim slide out pantry
Lol, how are you doing?
I like it. Great video Nick.
Thanks!
What a well thought out little unit and great tour as always Nick 👍🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great for a week at the lake.
These are amazing, Nick!
I was wondering if you would have any access to any of those expedition/explorer type motorhomes too. Would be great to have your take on those!
Hopefully at some stage
These tours are so well done, love your channel :)
Thanks so much!
Great video,keep it up!🚛🚚🚙🚘🚜
Thanks! Will do!
This is very nice.
They need to add a cage/cover to protect the electrics in the garage.
I’m always surprised at how much they manage to fit in these van motor homes
I'm always surprised at how expensive they are getting 😳
Awesome
Very nice!!
Space is a premium in most vans. The cooker looks great but sitting on the countertop is space that could have been used for food preparation, form over function!

This van has not been well thought out. The van sure looks pretty, but it's all bling.
Great review Nick. Ur certainly getting the nak of presenting Motorhomes. Any plans to branch into caravans?
Not at the moment, but who knows?
take out the fridge & draw thing and replace it with a small fridge+ 2 /3 draw freezer and thats perfect
Very nice motor home...I just find that drainage plug looking kinda cheap and sticking out to the point, all it takes is one medium-size pothole and your drainage valve is busted....other than that a nice van to cross the good old trans Canada highway.....maybe.😁
Love your vids!
Thank you!
Each to their own but that’s a lot of money. For that kinda cash you can get the absolute top of the range Coachman Lusso and a pretty decent tow car and still have change. And it’s got a shower!!
If you would rather have a caravan and a car then I agree, you're better off buying a caravan and a car.
I like it only I'd modify it so that the shelf in the back doors would slide out. Also I saw the TV in the sleeping area but is there one in the main living area. Would be cool if there was an extra cushion to enlarge the bed like the boats have.
Thank you for showing this beautiful camper van. Is it automatic? It is expensive for it’s size. 🙏
I like that one, tow hitch for a boat and off I go.😁👍
If I was going to have a camper van then I would have this one.
I would totally kick that TV to pieces while sleeping XD
The placement should have been fold up or a cantilever are to move it out of the foot area.
*Chip* this girl out with more *torque* and you got a keeper.
Can we get them in *NZL?*
Right there at the end I was saying to myself.....here's the part when Nick says "lets go check out the engine room".
I'm surprised you are able to view any or even that there are any in storage seeing as everyone wants to have a motorhome. Apparently sales are going through the roof again. The world is going crazy lol
I notice the majority of campers in Europe have cassette toilets. Any particular reason why? Nice jazzy rig or as you would say "Funky".
I would like to say most first class layout Motohome and dream to get it one for Malaysia specification
This is one *comfortable* place I can see myself *happy* in.
Can we get them in *NZL?*
I love this guy
Looks like a convict van?
Hey what happened with the extending work top? Sounded pretty cronky and didn’t seem keen to extend up properly 🤣
One of the better van conversions but very pricey. Great tour as always, thanks Nick 👍
😍❤️💕💕👌🏼wow Beautifull
Oh, right hand drive, rats! Otherwise I would have put in a bid. No can do in Canada, I’d get mixed up. Plus , it would be costly to set up a 240 volt charge line as here it’s 120 volt systems. All that said, it’s a beauty.
Hi
Very nice 💖
My first reaction was how do you change the bulb for the lighting looks complicated. I do like this motorhome though and enjoy your reviews.
These lights are leds, they work for 6-7 year atleast
Not my favourite floor plan, beds are a waste of space for day living, if they were lower they could double up as useable seating given that the only seating is the two front seats as the side seat doesn’t look very practical. I really don’t get fixed bed in such small vans
I have to agree. After binge watching camper van videos it seems European camper vans doesn't utilize space that well
I'm not sure it's about using the space badly it's just finding the right layout for you. I wouldn't want to make a bed every night for example, so a narrow body, long wheel base van like this looks like it suits our needs. Lots of motorhomes are around 7 mtrs and with fixed beds. Given the price it's a lot more usable and the bed more comfortable than the smaller VW vans which can easily get to £60k - £70k
I'm in love
I do watch aquaholic as well and I really am quite torn! 75 grand for a two birth van or the same for a boat! If I had the cash I really don't know. Van. More use but horrible campsites Boat more ongoing expense but wonderfull freedom and scenery! Why do people choose one or the other?
nice one!
Wao... I love it❤️
I take it those tambour doors at the foot of each bed enclose hanging wardrobes of a sort? If not there appears to be no wardrobe space at all. My wife wouldn't have that!
Vey nice van, thank you for sharing :)
How do you “curtain off” the front / cabin area from the rest of the interior (for privacy) ? :)
Nowhere to drain the dishes when washing up. The hob is flat and water would run off.
Foarte frumos este
Why are the vans more than actual rvs though? You’d think they would be less
One more may I asking it’s possible the bed make it quen/king size design
Better than a tiny house home
Is there anywhere in the UK for this model for rental?
Only £75,000........................... I bought a used 2017 314 lwb with aircon in Jan 2020 full service history £14,000 I then spent six grand turning it into a beautiful campervan.All in £20,000 so glad I wasn't born a minute ago
You would rather hope that buying a secondhand van and fitting it out yourself would be cheaper than a brand new professionally built motorhome! 😄
Hello
they are asking 80k for this in the link you provided. has it gone 5k in 5 weeks?
Regarding the bed, you mention you can choose a double or 2 singles. Does this have to be specified at purchase, or is it convertible in situ please?
According to the Wildax website, you have to specify when ordering. The mattress is pocket sprung and is made for the van.
Beautiful 💕💕🎉💕💕🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥

great home car
how to reinforce a van MPV body??? please advise!!!

I'm glad I see it the way you do. This is all form over function.
Nice van but £75K is a lot of money. I wouldn`t say no though.
Since they only have single beds in it , what's the purpose of the small mattress square in the middle ?
Hello I'm Ezio from Sicily Catania, I saw on you tube many of your van van vans camperized, all one more beautiful than the other, I like them all, but I having a large family of 5 I have 6 people I wanted to know if you have van van vans camperized for family from 5 I have 6 approved seats.

How does the cost compare of a panel van base, compared to a plastic box on the back?
Can you drive this on a normal car license
Is it a 144 or 170 Sprinter?
Where do you hang your coat!
You never mentioned engine spec?
In Italia where can i buy It?
