I have had small and large RVs, advantages to all, it really does depend on what YOU WANT, don't let anyone talk you out of a Camper, but remember to first identify the type of travel YOU want to do. On a sunny nice day at a place with public baths, you cannot beat a class "B", but when I was in the Florida Keys and it rained for 3 days straight and all the events were cancelled, it sucked! My current large RV is harder to travel with, but when things aren't going well, it is easier on my psychologically, it is hard to beat the larger bed & bathroom. Plus, if you are traveling WITH someone, having separate spaces to "get away" from each other is PRICELESS... LOL
Since you asked, and you said *dream* , it would either be an *Unimog* or an *Action Mobile Globe Cruiser* . Now, if either of those don't qualify as a *campervan* , I'd be quite happy with a *Winnebago Revel* .
I tell you what reds custom designs he could build a ProMaster and build it out for $10,000 that's what solar and everything but a bathroom I think that's pretty good price and that's included buying the ProMaster van for about let's just say 30 mm high top van and he charges $10,000 to do the renovation and it really is pretty nice check it out for yourself
I think the electrical/power system and the holding tanks are possibly the most important elements in a van. The further and longer you want to go back into nature the more important they become. A quick reference to those specs would be helpful. Example the Revel falls short in those areas. Otherwise thank you for the great video super well done and helpful and you do some amazing van builds at your place:)
I have, only by accident, found one. Yes, The 2019 170" WB 4x4 Sprinter. I cost way too much, but I am only a guy, who wanted nothing but this vehicle. It is being built out now (done, hopefully by Feb 2020) but I have to admit, for a fraction of what I am spending on the van and then the build out, I could have had a serious C class with everything already done. Buyers remorse, yeah, sure. But in the end I got what I really wanted. I hope you folks out there thinking of doing the same thing know that this is not really a 4x4 rock crawler and I only get 33% up on the front wheels when in 4 wheel low. 4 wheel high is really nothing more than "all wheel drive". I think I made the right decision but please do your research. You may find that it is just not worth what it takes to make it look like this video. In my heart, I hope it was worth it. We shall see. I will keep you posted.
There is a problem with your sound system at your end, the sound was fine for a short time as the video was continuing to play, then the sound stopped as the video continued to play and then it started back up the sound as the video continued to play??
Very little real info about the vans, engine and dimensions would be good. The Rifter isn't a camper, it's a concept that might get made (I doubt it) but you can buy the Rifter as a passenger car and add a tent. Cold have been 10 mins shorter as the rest is just music and filler. Sorry if I'm being hard fella but it popped into my feed and it's a subject I hold dear.
@@VanClanOff the top of my head first i really love what Sara & Alex James are doing. They build custom vans but are booked until next year. Here is a link to their channel. th-cam.com/video/-elAxv_6d10/w-d-xo.html
The ingenuity in the design of some of these is amazing. Unfortunately, I am in the U.S. and most of these vans are only available to those out in the 'free world.'
Sorry about that Phil, TH-cam decided to remove some music from the video but also removed a lot of our V/O :( Skipping ahead a little should solve it!
You look like Jonah Hill...if he gymed and ate right😂( not insulting you) you both look like you could be related. I was like man Jonah Hill is taking care of himself and doing van videos, good for him.
It’s a fact, there are far more Ford Econoline camper vans built, as well as self converted an on the road, then transit and sprinters that have only been out a handful of years.
Money no object I would pick up a 4x4 transit from Outside Vans, on a budget I would pick up a promaster and add solar, kitchen, and a platform bed for 10lk
Would have like to see more of the insides and some prices! But good video, must have looked at 100's of camper interiors now, you'd never believe that a van could sell for so much!
I guess a company that builds a camper van that the average guy can afford is out of the question. Whatever happened to the old VW campers? I used to own one at a time when I made a lot less money. But VW won't export ANY camper vans to the USA today. If this is an example of what they would cost, I can see why.
Yea, yea…yea….but they are not anymore in the “Camper´s Spirit” those are limo vans for poshies, just to move on weekends with the same stuff they have at home. For what the hell you need a TV in a camper! I think designers have never been in the wild with a van, I mean for long time not just a weekend.
Thanks for watching Eddie, we'll be honest we're big fans of little TV's in our rigs. Late at night when you want to watch a movie with your partner or family you can. Most people who moan about a TV in a van usually read a book or are on their phone, both are forms of entertainment so surely it doesn't matter in what way someone should want to entertain themselves?
They need to marry that rooftop tent on the smaller concept to the Sprinter dually model. Duh. Like, why can't they figure out that passengers DO NOT want to be seated behind the driver so closely as if they are kid-sized abductees? A simple seating adjustment slide would suffice.
You really showed the most useless clips for a lot of these.. like idc that their van can be used for support for a ramp lol, a trashed beater or even a pile of dirt could do that.. really didn't even show the interiors of many of the vans.. let alone the capabilities or specs for any of them 🤦♀️
Nice video, Is the Ducato 4x4 expedition actually on the market or just a prototype, as I have never seen one for sale? Also do you know if the VW Crafter has a pop top option as well (so good for 4 people)? #van_ping
Yes the Ducato has been on sell but from what we heard it was very limited. The link in the description should give you some more information on that. Regarding the Crafter, unfortunately not, but there are on or two companies that will add a pop top roof, but a crafter has a 7-8ft headspace anyway so you should be okay!
Yes the Ducato is 4x4, same concept as Mitsubishi Outlander, Hyundai SantaFe for example, or any modern cross mounted engine SUV that is offered in FWD and 4x4. Don't confuse with VW Touareg/Audi Q7 concept, neither with quattro layout.
Vanlife used to be for hippies and nomads. Lol can’t see buying an “adventure” van and worrying about scratching the paint. That one van had a surfboard in the back driving through the woods. Save it for insta dog.
Many people have different budgets, admittedly we're big fans of the DIY builds, but we'd one day like to safe for something like these! :) Thanks for watching.
@@davidhumber47 ha ha Yes they have some really expensive ones. But the autark built on a vw t6 (or t5) is not that frightening and it would be ok since we are only two and considered that we now live in a rooftop tent on a defender it would be like a * * * * hotel ;)
Apologies for the clipping at the start of the video, TH-cam has pulled this audio and has clipped off our voice over in the process. :(
wow
That sad
Can u reload with audio, looks really interesting?
Come on TH-cam smh
damn, not even the captions work, can you add captions of what you were saying?

Hey bro check out that video that Wee Man put out showing off his camper van
What's your dream campervan? Let us know in the comments below!
Van Clan smaller van than these.
The red sprinter
😁😁😁😁
I have a converted Nissan NV200. The build is very similar to a VW California Ocean, just on a smaller scale.
Since you asked, and you said *dream* , it would either be an *Unimog* or an *Action Mobile Globe Cruiser* . Now, if either of those don't qualify as a *campervan* , I'd be quite happy with a *Winnebago Revel* .

Can we just make these commercials longer and also add a few more please. It really enhances the experience.
Can you do a UK available best off grid camper van please 🙏
Some cool builds
Heck yeah!
Heck yeah!

Real nice options.

I appreciate the advice Bob! We'll take it on board and try make our future videos that bit better!
Sprinter 4x4? i want only from Iglhaut and Oberaigner.
So like two of those you can get in the US?
Not one inside video shot of No. 8, the Expedition. Why?
There's some pictures of the interior on our site! Apologies!
Van Clan No problem, mate! I will check them out on your website! Sure is a nice vehicle😃🛩
Did the sound cut out at like 0:50 for anyone else? Or is that just my old ass phone?
hello, what is the music you put on to present the fiat ducato 4x4 , she starts at 10:08 to finish at 12:00 ? thank you in advance
One day ill be done with my lifestyle and ill do this
Smash those goals dude!
Have you got a videos/series on budget conversions? These ones all look very expensive
Last one was best by far
Anything 4x4 pop up push top, fully insulated with a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat. 👌🏼
We'll probably do a top truck campers video coming up too! ;)
your audio dropped from 0:53 to 2:11 Great QA! /S
And this is from April of 2019. How did you not notice this and re-upload!!!!!
i was so confused when the audio cut lol
No interior shots of the Fiat. Well, there was one. Apparently it has a steering wheel. Wow. Revolutionary.
Mmm yes, Fiat hasn't really shared any video footage of the interior but there are some photos in a link in the description. Thanks for watching.
This seemed more like an advertisement video. I personally would go with one of the custom vans from several different builders i
ve seen on youtube.
We can assure you it's not an ad, we haven't even monetised this video. :) Any recommendations on these builders? Thanks!
@@VanClanOff the top of my head first i really love what Sara & Alex James are doing. They build custom vans but are booked until next year. Here is a link to their channel. th-cam.com/video/-elAxv_6d10/w-d-xo.html
Vanguard campers in Fort William, Scotland create cracking conversions from Ford Transit Trail 4x4 vans. Proper adventure vehicles. Check them out.
sweet! We will chedk them out thanks
The rooftop bed looks rlly cool tbh, but does it have a mattress?
The ingenuity in the design of some of these is amazing. Unfortunately, I am in the U.S. and most of these vans are only available to those out in the 'free world.'
Sorry but nothing in this list can be even compare to Unity Murphy bed.
One of the best you should check out is the Benchmark Vehicles in Portland OREGON
Portland? Its not worth life and limb😂
Sadly none of these except for the Revel are available in the USA. That said, they are really nice and well turned out! Thanks!
What happened with the sound?
Sorry about that Phil, TH-cam decided to remove some music from the video but also removed a lot of our V/O :( Skipping ahead a little should solve it!
Check out Advanced Rv in the states. All coaches are ran off of lithium batteries
You look like Jonah Hill...if he gymed and ate right😂( not insulting you) you both look like you could be related. I was like man Jonah Hill is taking care of himself and doing van videos, good for him.
Sound guy is fired
Sound cut out for van 1
Could you pleaae tell me who performs the piano piece @7min? Nice piece
It’s a fact, there are far more Ford Econoline camper vans built, as well as self converted an on the road, then transit and sprinters that have only been out a handful of years.
Good video. Stinks that the sound got muted at the beginning of the video.
Money no object I would pick up a 4x4 transit from Outside Vans, on a budget I would pick up a promaster and add solar, kitchen, and a platform bed for 10lk
Great choices J!
Sound?
Peugeot ??? 😲
Ok.If you want to visit your mechanic every week, fine by me 🤣
Do one on unimogs 👍🏻
Thanks for the recommendation Peter!
The video has audio issues in the beginning.
Sportsmobile. Not cutting edge like Outside Van, but pretty reliable and good quality. Unique pop top for Fords and Benz Sprinters.
Nice, we'll take a look, thanks Jack!
The wheels aren't too small?
didn't you use to make gaming consol review?
Van interior design is good. Thanks for providing this video.
Wanna know the van You had shown in Thumbnail
Would have like to see more of the insides and some prices! But good video, must have looked at 100's of camper interiors now, you'd never believe that a van could sell for so much!
We appreciated the honesty Matt, our next 'best list' video will feature prices. Thanks!
@Doncaster Van Conversions VW T6 6 wheel van belongs on the 2020 list xx
OAR-GUN. Say it again. OAR-GUN. not gone. GUN.
it’s 09 May 2019 surely there’s 7 months left before you can say “best of 2019”
Azza 179 most the 19 models are out and have been out though so yeah he can minus one or two maybe
@@lessforloans oji
did you ever watched tha campervan of freundship, he`s here on youtube
Number 2 not realesed
Peugeot Rifter 4x4 is jut a concept - is not for sale. Why is this on the list? Is this not a real campers list?
it will be for sale
Can you do a best camper class B for USA.
We can certainly look into it, thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes please
NO!
I liked the variety of vehicles presented although some really make you laugh !
I wish I could demonstrate more bed space
who else planning on going on a roadtrip with their friends
Please can anybody tell me the name of his watch ?
+5:08 ... LOL - - Respect for keeping it by real showing the bail-out. #BallzOfSteel #VWT25

But VW won't export ANY camper vans to the USA today. If this is an example of what they would cost, I can see why.
A great new VW is also the Grand California... Available GC 600 and GC 680! Costs about 100 000 Euro... 🙈

What brand watch is that bro? Please send link. Great video. Very information and interesting.

Nice vid and music but VERY short on real info. Very few interior shots. Pretty worthless actually.
Agreed, plus no details on cost.
It's worthless because they're either concept vans or individual conversions so basically it's here are some vans I like...
Terrible video. Zero stars... Get more information from a monkey than this video.
The Sprinters are awesome. The VW California XXL is going to be cheaper though
There's a big gap in the audio towards the beginning.
That should be sorted now, YT ripped it out for some reason!
You really showed the most useless clips for a lot of these.. like idc that their van can be used for support for a ramp lol, a trashed beater or even a pile of dirt could do that.. really didn't even show the interiors of many of the vans.. let alone the capabilities or specs for any of them 🤦♀️
Fiat Ducato, the best for camping
None of them would last a week in the outback.
david johnston looks like they’re driving right through it.
You'll be surprised.
Let save few penny and buy a converted one! ;)
@@VanClan so we can assume you have driven one of these trough the outback ?

WTF?! Never would I have thought Retro-Loving Brandon Salt have a secret channel about Vans!!
Now you do. :) Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video
Ford has also camping 4x4
van for expedition
Hi!
I wanted to know if I could use 10 sec of your video in one of my own 🙂
(You would be credited)
Thanks!
The audio cuts off
For a sec I was like wtf Jonah hill with a accent lol
At a glance that Fiat doesn’t look like a 4x4 to me.. difficult to say for sure, but the rear axle looks solid as on the regular FWD version.
Yeah we see what you mean, but apparently it is! Who knows!
Yes the Ducato is 4x4, same concept as Mitsubishi Outlander, Hyundai SantaFe for example, or any modern cross mounted engine SUV that is offered in FWD and 4x4.
Don't confuse with VW Touareg/Audi Q7 concept, neither with quattro layout.
Man I wish I was so small that I could put the bed square in the back.... :D
7:00 Name of the song?
Rifter is still a prototype imho
Agreed, but they did mention it was "most likely" to get into production. But that was over a year ago... :/
Amazing video
Anyone know the song for the Syncronicles van? part? thanx in advance. Plus nice vans, too bad most are States and not in Canada
