Waiting for a camper van designed for a single person. Less seating, more storage, larger fridge and bath. I like the movable wall feature for the shower, allowing for a larger toilet area and shower rather than a wet bath using a shared footprint.
@@Serkin76 I said the Ekko is new. The bath is from Europe, like other things making their way into U.S. rv's. Where else have you seen this type of bath in a US market RV?
The most important thing in a camper van is the electrical layout so that you can upgrade or downgrade your power supply. A sockets USB connectors etc. then the second is the washroom everything else can be customizable, for example lounge setting versus cargo setting, Roof bed, Foldable tables portable refrigerator, portable cooking stove etc.
Most important features include Both front seats swivel & use swivel table (ideally, converting to 2nd bed), indoor bathroom w/shower, skylight access to rooftop solar plus patio deck, freezer in fridge, hot water, bed padding, storage, awning. Ideally, galley window enables faucet access (if not full slide-out cook surface plus sink). I've seen camper vans that allow the entire galley unit (incl fridge) to swivel or roll onto outdoor shelf set up via locking castors ... brilliant!
Essential for me are a closet, drawers for clothes & those great pantry (pull outs) And not just one! Also, I absolutely must have as many windows as possible! I won’t even consider a van that closes off the back win- dows or has smaller windows! Oh no! Now that I am experiencing being colder I am interested in extra insulation and extra heating solutions! Perhaps even sectional panels to section off parts of the van to target areas to heat. And it may not be feasible but I really wonder if it’s possible to have a washer & dryer? Now that would be perfect!
I love your idea because is what I would like :) I would like to add a "hide out ramp" for loading my toys or my working equipment, the hide out ramp will be my deck area :) and a drop down bed on the back so there is plenty of space for a nice cargo/entertainment area with one of the side windows will open up with a serving shelf. More head room
These are wonderful, however buyers should know their restrictions. All have small tanks, most less than 20 gallons. Which means your water use, showers, restroom use are limited to pretty much overnight camping only. Also, many are standard 2 AGM batteries and 1000 watt inverter. Meaning that you are camping wherever you can run an extension cord from, no running the heater, using the microwave, etc. And yes, I want one anyway. 🤣
For me it's the amount of space and good use of the space. Having a shower and toilet. All everything must be well thought out with good use of the space.
GRECH RV - Class B STRADA -ION is battery and you can skip these worries and care/maintenance of the generator. Its a huge peace of mind. We love ours.
I feel like the RV companies are missing a huge market opportunity in class B campers. Other than the Revel, where are the GenX /Millennial camper vans? Something does not look like they pulled the cabinetry out of grandmas garage. A van with a gear garage that can hold real stuff like full size bikes, inflatable paddle boards, has an onboard air compressor, expandable battery capacity for boondocking, etc. Full size indoor showers waste so much space and they fill up the grey water in a hot minute., but I like the outdoor shower idea and an indoor flex shower for those times when it is not feasible to shower outdoors. My main layout necessity would be a large gear garage that can haul bikes and keep them inside when using the bed. Next would be an electrical setup that is sufficient to go for days without plugging in.
Most important bath shower included. Then a large refrig with separate freezer. Solar to run and instant on hot water heater. Twin beds or separate sleeping for two. Then deep sink and 2 burner or radiant heat strive top. Microwave. Not asking too much!. Other things Max air fan. A/C and out side shower.
I dig all these. For me, I want a bathroom to travel with me. Of course I want a kitchen or a way/place to store and prepare food. But the toilet and shower is the icing on the cake. The vans have it all! I love em! Thanks for the video! ❤️💜💚
I like a fixed bed, bathroom and shower inside, I like the slide door on the bathroom that acts to squeegee the door when opening it after a shower, induction top stove, refrigerator, TV and lots of fans.
I would love my next camper to have a permanent bedroom at the rear end and a close by full bathroom. The captain chairs would do perfectly well for two, eating and sitting. That would be exactly what we both desire. No need or desire to carry any passengers or accommodate any extra sleepers.
So tell me now, how are we supposed to get a van that I like from Germany to the USA without spending double the money to have it re-certified in the USA?
If you ever need a vehicle like this. You should be in the middle of nowhere in America. How is the government going to find you to get you to certify it. 🤣🤣🤣
The life of a geologist is one of constant work changes, a nice camper van will be essential for me. Something I really want is wifi and a place to set up a computer desktop. Comforts like an on suit bathroom and shower are a great touch as well
For us, a comfortable bed that can accommodate two fairly large people, a really good air conditioner/heater, and a shower that is tall enough for a six foot tall person is key. Hopefully, the van would also be reliable and not a breakdown waiting to happen!
a toyota sienna with some modification can accomodate this, the shower portion unfortunately would be outdoors only but other than that; it's possible.
We would like a third sleeping bed for our young adult son. Bathroom is a plus. Refrigerator a big plus for me, not so much for my husband. We have been camping & boating / sailing for vacation for years , so we have learned how to use a cooler efficienly.
I love these, Love that they have a bathroom not crazy about the outside shower. I hope they are even more improve when I'm ready to buy. Ready to sell every thing and hit the road.
Enclosed Toilet/shower space, fresh water tank capacity and a lengthy bed. The commercial camper van builders should also build their camper van on regular cheap van so that by and large all people can afford one.
Hi folks! What my wife and I really want is a vehicle that allows us to travel without having to find an open rest stop or use a filthy public toilet, yet has a few luxury items like a small fridge and perhaps a microwave for light duty cooking. We don't intend to camp, though if we do, we'll tow a travel trailer. Mainly just want a good long distance travel vehicle.
The most important aspect for me is passenger capacity. I’m looking for something that can carry 6-8 people, with kitchen and bath. Sleeping arrangements are not important to me since we will rarely use it for overnight accommodations. I need something for cross country trips to prepare a quick roadside snack and a bathroom so we’re not looking for a place for 4 children to go potty every 20 minutes.
@@rowan7658 hahaha I was just thinking about when I buy a house how warm and cozy I would make it feel and then this comment! I am working on a house and soon will have one you were right on! Lol merry Christmas
I don't like all the weights on the van that's why I bought a strip van and like to build my self with my own design. I want more room inside and use light weight materials,.. oh and the prices you showing are not same if you buy this vans it's double of that now.
I m from Pakistan. No such camper van company has introduced their products in Pakistan. I think they should try as tourist industry is flourishing in Pakistan too.
Theyre all cool. I just cant see myself ever throwing down 165 grand for one though. I would just buy a used van and gut it and make my own for way less money.
@@mindseyedesign if you can afford the $165k but choose to build yourself so a whopping 100k saving plus, you got a lot free time for that 100k and the more advanced stuff few hire skilled people every now again through project. if i was going to do one i start with double Decker bus or coach you can get a running one for under 15$k spend another 50-60K $ you got a house size rv for price of a van converted, and those coach based usa rv they go for 1million plus and they only got one floor
I’m quite surprised you left out Leisure Vans. Perhaps the best on the market. If not best then certainly better than most listed here. Only one I know of has a dry bath. Really open feeling floor plans. Beautifully designed.
Why that that surprise you? We featured Leisure Vans in several other videos over the years. Our regular viewers would start throwing popcorn at us if we use the same camper vans each week, or worse, chuck tomatoes, for stuffing every list worthy model in one video.

Os veículos são ótimos, aqui no Brasil está crescendo essa modalidade de vida. Vocês poderiam ter uma fábrica de motorhome no Brasil. Parabéns pelo vídeo. Um grande abraço
Number 5 would be my choice, for both price and being non- MB engine. Great layout and features for the price. I'd prefer a Ford engine, but will settle as is above the other more expensive options. Great presentation.
looks like lots US campers based on Europe vans, the mercs, the ram power.... that just a fiat just usa rv convert on Europe van, we use same vans as rv too but prob rv builders closer to home
A good old fashion vacation is an all inclusive resort with a nice beach and a great staff. Van life isn't a vacation. Its a life choice to saving money , using that extra money for components of the vacation that we want
When choosing a camper van the #1 thing is a recirculating shower. So I can take a long shower. #2 the microwave has 2 be where I can reach it without a ladder. It is dangerous to pull out hot lequid out of a microwave that will spill down my arm or on my face. To many people think everyone is above 6 feet tall. It is better to put a refrigerator on top and a microwave on the floor. I cannot get hurt pulling stuff out of a freezer. #3 don't waste space by putting in sofa of chairs in the back. You already have a driver seat and passenger seat. U can put a table in-between the front chairs. The space in the back you can put in a washer/dryer machine and closet. #4 I want a motorcycle rack in the back .a bike rack can go in front of the engine. #5 more batteries more solar panels. My test would be run the tv 24 hrs. Run a computer 23 hrs. Run refrigerator 24 hrs. Run the hot water for a 40 minute shower. And be able to run a coffee maker and blinder. #6 The driver seat should be air suspension so I can drive van for 14 hours before having to stop to pee. #7 The gasoline or diesel must not freeze in -50 degrees Fahrenheit. #8 very important that no one can see you inside the van.
My concern is how can one afford this Vans so expensive some are same price as a HOUSE !! I don’t know how to justify something like this .. Also if you want to finance something like this is a Nightmare you have to have PERFECT credit and after this Pandemic left some of us a bit damaged!!! Great video
That's always been the case with B classes, guess when you build a conversion compared to the ground up. There are some bus builds or even c classes that are way more reasonable.
I will agree 100 percent. The prices is out of sight. My favorite is a step van or a tool van. They are built very strong. Build your own thing. My built would be very simple. They have steps inside. The highth is at least 7 ft. Tall. Put in your own windows and air also heat to. Nice and roomy Add insulation etc. Simple you have a. Home ready to move in. About 2 weeks. Wish i had the money to buy one. Im ready for the road. Im depressed because i cant. Ive been locked in the city life rat race cage all my life. Im 75 yrs. Old now. No savings. Cant save any money on minimum wage. Dead end jobs. Never been out of my town but 4 times on a 2 hour drive. Its been 20 yrs. Im ready for a nomad life. I need to work on the road but dont know what i can do. I dont know anything about computers
@@janchapman3746 Hello Sir … May I may make a suggestion for you .. I know that Amazon hires people who are traveling (Nomads) maybe something to look into .. My best vibes and hopefully things get better..
Most important features, price has to be cheaper than real estate drastically, efficiency and energy including insulation and electrical hook ups and size
sorry but I do not agree with this ranking, it seems made by someone who does not know this market sector well on a global level. Otherwise brands like Robeta, Wingamm, Tuckett, Hymer or Adria would be in this ranking. Brands that use construction techniques and design still unknown in the United States at almost half the price of those proposed in this video.
watched the first 3 and can say, prices in the US and down under are totally sick. In Europe you get for 60k the same kind of quality on Mercedes or Fiat, for 4x4 you pay around 10k more. All i can say is, buy a new transporter for around 30k USD and find a good carpenter, and some guy with some handy skills
The toilet (Wet Bath Toilet) in a Camper van is important for me. Because Public Comfort Rooms (Toilets) in my country is not yet that very clean compared to First World countries public toilet or pre paid shower rooms.
I personally would prefer a camper van that doesn't focus so much on the permanent kitchen. A huge refrigerator is not the most important component of the van, in my opinion. I think it would be better to possibly have rolling furniture and movable components, including the sink and refrigerator, and to have a smarter storage system. That way you could have more room for closet space, a bed, and a usable bathroom as you more easily adjust the space for your needs, which could be expanded with better and more sophisticated storage solutions. Also, I'm not interested in components and furniture layouts for huge numbers of people. I would prefer everything to be designed for one person. In addition a large, empty space or "garage" for small vehicles is not my idea of sophisticated storage; I'm intending the storage to be designed for items such as clothing, linens, trash, cleaning utensils, small appliances, food and water, and other items for everyday living that make life more comfortable.
@@tonyatehranie3029 one of the things I wish the B vans had was a pull down bed. This sliding 2 beds together every night and then going over the top to get to the bathroom is a pain. So the Thor sequence and many others are like this if the bathroom is in the back where it should be btw, as anywhere else in a B van is useless. No storage, so you must buy a plastic black compartment to add to the back to go along with your bike rack. Trust me, the plumbing is an issue even when the hot water comes only from propane gas. They do not make them with electrical to heat the Truma, but gas, with a 12 volt refrigerator. Adding 30k worth of lithium battery is only worth it if you never go hook up anywhere. These are 80K+ and anything B with a pull out is 125k, and mercedez are just too hard to work on when you can buy a front wheel drive Promaster Ram. Any overhang is a pain, wind, etc. Who is going to crawl up there to sleep but kids, I cannot afford an Airstream, which is a Thor made product anyway. Cassette poopers, no thanks, just think about a box with poop in it to empty, Its ugly enought to empty your black tank as it is with the tubing, and gloves. I love the ability to travel with the dogs and get 18mpg, and having ac on but everytime you try to "do better" by getting a 12 v ac, it costs money, bigger fridge more money, lithium batteries, forget about it unless you have the extra 30k, inverter over 2000k, you also have to have a mate willing to bed down in a B van, and late at night the hotels start looking better and better unless you have bed bugs from those discount motels, who don't want your pets anyway and the pets don't like them either. Wife is easy now with the Windguard just costs an extra 30-50 dollars a month.
My only real problem with most of these offerings is not enough headroom- I'm 6ft 2inch tall and need at lest 2inch more height to feel comfortable and don't need sleeping for more then me lol
Like to see Class B and Class B+. Like to see more wheelchair friendly, solo wheelchair friendly. Anything where no pulling, carrying, pushing, e.g. cassette toilet; bending, etc. Most handicap RVs assume able body is with a handicap person. Winnebago Roam isn't perfect but, like door less bathroom. Induction cooking is great...no flames.
First i would like to say all 10 Vans are fantastic.👌👍. Now i am a single female and been thinking about Van life full time. But for me i would need shower inside van & toilet, also 2 burner stove is fine would like away to bake @ times microwave was a plus. I would not like the oven or burners to run on propane👎. I really like the Van that had that little bbq attached to the Van Genius....
What is most iMportant is how reliable is the engine and autoparts. You don’t wanna get stranded becuase the engine has reliability issues
Waiting for a camper van designed for a single person. Less seating, more storage, larger fridge and bath. I like the movable wall feature for the shower, allowing for a larger toilet area and shower rather than a wet bath using a shared footprint.
Me too.
Check out the bath in the new Winnebago Ekko. It's genius.
@@TW--- A very old idea... ; )
I'd suggest the Roadtrek Zion SRT. It's one of the smallest and cheapest RVs in North America
@@Serkin76 I said the Ekko is new. The bath is from Europe, like other things making their way into U.S. rv's. Where else have you seen this type of bath in a US market RV?
The most important thing in a camper van is the electrical layout so that you can upgrade or downgrade your power supply. A sockets USB connectors etc. then the second is the washroom everything else can be customizable, for example lounge setting versus cargo setting, Roof bed, Foldable tables portable refrigerator, portable cooking stove etc.
Most important features include Both front seats swivel & use swivel table (ideally, converting to 2nd bed), indoor bathroom w/shower, skylight access to rooftop solar plus patio deck, freezer in fridge, hot water, bed padding, storage, awning.

I've seen camper vans that allow the entire galley unit (incl fridge) to swivel or roll onto outdoor shelf set up via locking castors ... brilliant!
Which camper van swivels the kitchen out? I like the cooler that pulls out on rollers from a cabinet inside.
Yes Rosemarie; you got it summed up girl! Good going!
Essential for me are a closet,
drawers for clothes & those
great pantry (pull outs)
And not just one!
Also, I absolutely must have
as many windows as possible!
I won’t even consider a van
that closes off the back win-
dows or has smaller windows!
Oh no!
Now that I am experiencing
being colder I am interested
in extra insulation and extra
heating solutions!
Perhaps even sectional panels
to section off parts of the van
to target areas to heat.
And it may not be feasible but
I really wonder if it’s possible
to have a washer & dryer?
Now that would be perfect!
I love your idea because is what I would like :)
I would like to add a "hide out ramp" for loading my toys or my working equipment, the hide out ramp will be my deck area :) and a drop down bed on the back so there is plenty of space for a nice cargo/entertainment area with one of the side windows will open up with a serving shelf. More head room
I've only ever seen one that features a reclining seat. That's what those of us in mid-60s really need for total relaxation.

Good question!!!! Let me know when you get the answer.
Buy a model you like and have it custom built in your area
Think if its 25 years or older the vehicle would be DOT exempt, or move to Germany for a year, and take it home as household goods.

Should review the video with Airstream 24X. Most important for me is space, storage with all commodities. Really the 24x meets most of my needs
I don't like all the weights on the van that's why I bought a strip van and like to build my self with my own design. I want more room inside and use light weight materials,.. oh and the prices you showing are not same if you buy this vans it's double of that now.
the most important thing for a rv is to meet my specifications sheet and have a decent price.
Closet space and a nice bathroom, are in important too me.
Pleasureway (any model Class B) or Coachmen Beyond far exceeds all of these in features and price/value.
Me too. I was surprised that they didn't mention anything about Pleasure-Way RV. Here is my favorite:
th-cam.com/video/1LFEHUMbL_Q/w-d-xo.html
The shower and toilet are my main concern.
No outdoor shower for me. Love the wet baths. I absolutely need WiFi capability to work on the road and heating / AC.
Bathroom and beds are most important to me. Great job all on the video.
Nice videos of South Mountain Park in Phoenix, AZ! Great presentation, good luck and wonderful travels.
It would be nice to see small business owners who convert vans who are looking for customers. It could be advertisements for them.
I'm surprised that the Pleasure Way van wasn't on this list. To me it is number one!
I will agree the 2nd. One. Wow....love it. Wish i could afford it.
I m from Pakistan. No such camper van company has introduced their products in Pakistan. I think they should try as tourist industry is flourishing in Pakistan too.
Yeah camper vans! Loved them for years….
High quality video. Informative. Enjoyed this. Thanks!
number 9 is my favorite
The two best are Pleasure Way and Leisure from Canada
I didn't realize Mercedes was partnering with Airstream, this has so many positive possibilities!
They are all nice I would like the porcelain toilet. but these are for camping or weekend excursions. I am looking for one that I can call home.
I watched this video again and I think this is one of your best!!!!!!!

That's always been the case with B classes, guess when you build a conversion compared to the ground up. There are some bus builds or even c classes that are way more reasonable.
I will agree 100 percent. The prices is out of sight. My favorite is a step van or a tool van. They are built very strong. Build your own thing. My built would be very simple. They have steps inside. The highth is at least 7 ft. Tall. Put in your own windows and air also heat to. Nice and roomy
Add insulation etc. Simple you have a. Home ready to move in. About 2 weeks. Wish i had the money to buy one. Im ready for the road. Im depressed because i cant. Ive been locked in the city life rat race cage all my life. Im 75 yrs. Old now. No savings. Cant save any money on minimum wage. Dead end jobs. Never been out of my town but 4 times on a 2 hour drive. Its been 20 yrs. Im ready for a nomad life. I need to work on the road but dont know what i can do. I dont know anything about computers
@@janchapman3746 Hello Sir … May I may make a suggestion for you .. I know that Amazon hires people who are traveling (Nomads) maybe something to look into .. My best vibes and hopefully things get better..
Hi willuam i will certainly keep amazon in mind. Appreciate it thank you .
Most important features, price has to be cheaper than real estate drastically, efficiency and energy including insulation and electrical hook ups and size
Dreaming to one of these
That's brilliant.
Be nice if these coach builders allowed for customer choice of platform ( Dodge, Ford, etc.). Also customer choice of floor designs.
I always like to have good sleeping area and comfortable bath!!
for me the best option is a shassis based single cab truck and separate camper with everything you need for constant living.
I'd choose a 15 year old Pleasure Way B+ on a Ford chassis for a third of the cost.
Top brands of Class B RV's
sorry but I do not agree with this ranking, it seems made by someone who does not know this market sector well on a global level. Otherwise brands like Robeta, Wingamm, Tuckett, Hymer or Adria would be in this ranking. Brands that use construction techniques and design still unknown in the United States at almost half the price of those proposed in this video.
Nice
Coachmen Nova starts at $134,856 USD, 57% higher than the price in your video.
watched the first 3 and can say, prices in the US and down under are totally sick. In Europe you get for 60k the same kind of quality on Mercedes or Fiat, for 4x4 you pay around 10k more. All i can say is, buy a new transporter for around 30k USD and find a good carpenter, and some guy with some handy skills
You could always go to Europe and buy it!!!!
@@karenvickers8165 so? funny ppl liking their own comments ;)
have a nice one
Shower,bed,storage!
Wow! Acciminkia!
GRECH RV - STRADA ION is the Best Buy for the money if quality and comfort are your goals.
The toilet (Wet Bath Toilet) in a Camper van is important for me. Because Public Comfort Rooms (Toilets) in my country is not yet that very clean compared to First World countries public toilet or pre paid shower rooms.
Most important thing to me is interior mtn bike storage.
Most important feature for me - dry bath
I personally would prefer a camper van that doesn't focus so much on the permanent kitchen. A huge refrigerator is not the most important component of the van, in my opinion. I think it would be better to possibly have rolling furniture and movable components, including the sink and refrigerator, and to have a smarter storage system. That way you could have more room for closet space, a bed, and a usable bathroom as you more easily adjust the space for your needs, which could be expanded with better and more sophisticated storage solutions. Also, I'm not interested in components and furniture layouts for huge numbers of people. I would prefer everything to be designed for one person. In addition a large, empty space or "garage" for small vehicles is not my idea of sophisticated storage; I'm intending the storage to be designed for items such as clothing, linens, trash, cleaning utensils, small appliances, food and water, and other items for everyday living that make life more comfortable.
Agreed; I’d like to be a stealth vanlifer one day and need the perfect space for retirement living on the road…solo.
@@tonyatehranie3029 one of the things I wish the B vans had was a pull down bed. This sliding 2 beds together every night and then going over the top to get to the bathroom is a pain. So the Thor sequence and many others are like this if the bathroom is in the back where it should be btw, as anywhere else in a B van is useless. No storage, so you must buy a plastic black compartment to add to the back to go along with your bike rack. Trust me, the plumbing is an issue even when the hot water comes only from propane gas. They do not make them with electrical to heat the Truma, but gas, with a 12 volt refrigerator. Adding 30k worth of lithium battery is only worth it if you never go hook up anywhere. These are 80K+ and anything B with a pull out is 125k, and mercedez are just too hard to work on when you can buy a front wheel drive Promaster Ram. Any overhang is a pain, wind, etc. Who is going to crawl up there to sleep but kids, I cannot afford an Airstream, which is a Thor made product anyway. Cassette poopers, no thanks, just think about a box with poop in it to empty, Its ugly enought to empty your black tank as it is with the tubing, and gloves. I love the ability to travel with the dogs and get 18mpg, and having ac on but everytime you try to "do better" by getting a 12 v ac, it costs money, bigger fridge more money, lithium batteries, forget about it unless you have the extra 30k, inverter over 2000k, you also have to have a mate willing to bed down in a B van, and late at night the hotels start looking better and better unless you have bed bugs from those discount motels, who don't want your pets anyway and the pets don't like them either. Wife is easy now with the Windguard just costs an extra 30-50 dollars a month.
My only real problem with most of these offerings is not enough headroom- I'm 6ft 2inch tall and need at lest 2inch more height to feel comfortable and don't need sleeping for more then me lol
Good Morning Minds Eye Desighn I M Parker From India I LOVE All Camper Van Best Oassam FabulousWork
Like to see Class B and Class B+. Like to see more wheelchair friendly, solo wheelchair friendly. Anything where no pulling, carrying, pushing, e.g. cassette toilet; bending, etc. Most handicap RVs assume able body is with a handicap person. Winnebago Roam isn't perfect but, like door less bathroom. Induction cooking is great...no flames.
Hello HugsBach, thank you for watching!
First i would like to say all 10 Vans are fantastic.👌👍.
Now i am a single female and been thinking about Van life full time. But for me i would need shower inside van & toilet, also 2 burner stove is fine would like away to bake @ times microwave was a plus. I would not like the oven or burners to run on propane👎. I really like the Van that had that little bbq attached to the Van Genius....
I would like a toaster oven vice microwave in a van.
Those were beautiful
