The price in Italy?
How much ?
Cool how much and how much is the upkeep? Where can you park the vehicle long-term without paying rent?
145,000 dollars way to expensive
I like it, but I wouldn’t want it on a ram pro master. Bring the original here!
Man took his shoes off before he got on the bed. He was raised right!
I love this camper.
The camper vans always have a hefty price tag.
Eye-popping price tag
Needs to be 50k not 145k!
I rather pay hotel for $145 thousand
Absolute non starter price tag..it's almost offensive.
Everything is eye popping now $$$. I think it'll cost slightly less in the United States.
The Dodge Promaster is Fiat.
But for that money I'd buy a new truck and a truck camper.
It's a mini but price says your smoking cracked 50k if that death trap
The US needs class B's like this!! Please make this style in the US, RV manufacturers!!!
Italians always have the eye in design . Even when forced by constrictions . Nicely done .
$ 145 K is very expensive for a Class B so small, but the efficient use of space is very good !
let us wait, market will tell them, it is grossly over priced !!!
Where the storage is next to the restroom could’ve been a stacked washer/dryer set, or one storage the other a combo washer/dryer, THEN it might be worth it
Agreed. I wouldn’t say very expensive. I’d say grossly overpriced
Way overpriced! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Dang 145k, I was thinking 47k
I love this rig! Wish it wasn't so expensive
Agree. Nice little rig with a lot of innovations but expensive for the size.
Overpriced, under equipped. Will not make it in US marketplace
@@Desperado3248 Sure, it will. You can always sell overpriced crap to a certain crowd just so they can show off how much money they have.
I'm with you 💯 ❤️
@@Falconlibrary it’s not crap. Expensive yes but it’s engineered like no other in this class.
This Wingamm Oasi 540 has so many great ideas built into it. I really liked the trashcan on the door and the pull down full-sized bed. 12v A/C also very nice. The one-piece fiberglass molded shell should really help with preventing leaks. $145,000 is a little steep for me though.
Yea, really cool, but that is more then my house cost lol
And FIAT is owned by Chrysler that lobbies Congress to have this camper imported but Japan is not allowed to import their mini campers that cost $23K USD for same comparable model!!!
Autosleeper have the same one piece fibreglass body ours never leaks
I wonder if the lower double bed is claustrophobic when the top bed is lowered.
They tried this a few years ago, it was called the Chinook. They're actually still around and the one piece fiberglass rear hold up great, I'm actually looking for one.
Pricey but very cool. Love the bed with the skylights.
I absolutely love this thing! Just needs the induction cooker, ability to be sustainable off the grid, and a good bike rack! I am also so glad that euro style vans and rvs are finally hitting our market. Not everyone wants giant Class As and 5th wheels!
Totally agree!
It's the Asian market that is Killin it... Tariffs have always killed the rv industry...
Agree about the induction. Better cooking method for even a house.
@Graham Cook I didn't understand a word you just said. It sounds like you are talking another language. 😄 I just wanted induction. I didn't know it would be so complicated.
@Graham Cook thanks for your explanation 👍
I just found my old notes, 3 years ago on this camper. Was 65K. As priced in EU. Now it's 145K for US plus 5k shipping. Crazy.
Yes, I just posted a comment about how ridiculous the price is!
This is by far the best usage of space I have seen. Been in the market for awhile I am sold on this
By far my one of my favourite designs! Love that it's compact yet has everything you need. So clever!
Lemme just check between my couch cushions to see if I have the price of a 3-bedroom house jingling around in there somewhere. Ridiculous price.
Yes but 145k?!?! This will sell out for sure.. if they produce two
Has to be my favorite layout of all time. I might use this beauty as the inspiration for my new build.
Such a cool car. We live in Germany and have a rental company for vans. We have also a wingamm in the fleet. Very good concept. Low noise and super handling. 145k Dollars is a crazy price. I wish I could sell mine in the states. 😂😎
This is the best small RV I've ever seen. Big bathroom a plus. I'm a Army veteran and this would be great. To travel and see the family 🤗
I'm confused how your being an Army Veteran was a factor.
I am so glad to see them (companies) making smaller RV's. My family is all grown so I do not need an RV that sleeps eight that I would not feel comfortable to drive anymore. This one seems perfect.
Plus I've been to plenty of parks that have length restrictions because of winding roads.
Very nicely done tour with good explanations. Thank you. I appreciate no background music.
You’re very welcome - glad you enjoyed it
i am from the Uk and live in California. I have been telling my friends for years even RV dealers i know that the Us is so far behind when it comes to the Rv market. This is a nice introduction to the Us Market and will do extremely well im sure. I know Hymer tried to get into the US market with Roadtrek i believe but for some reason it did not take off. All these Motorhome companies are now finally realising that the Sprinter van market for vans is booming and they are all trying to bring out their own versions. The one thing i think is still lacking is the Interior of some of these Big Rvs like Newmar and Tififn they need to start looking at modern designs and not antiquated interiors and imitation fireplaces such a waste of space. Cheers
Very true Andy
American businesses also charge twice what you can get these for in Italy.
Cannot agree more! Thank you for bringing up the fact that what we get her in the USA feels old, common, lacks originality, feels like it is a DIY job, if you will compare to European models
Please note that FIAT is OWNED by Chrysler that lobbied old men/women in Congress to allow import of such overpriced mini camper vans. The same model in Japan is $23K!!!! But Japan is not allowed to import their mini campers!
I think you will find FIAT owns jeep crysler, Fiat took on the brand and all its debts
The pull down master suite idea is awesome. So many features in such a little space.
That price is outrageous!
I have to declare that the Russo Team is the most proficient and entertaining demonstrators of the camping vehicles market . I completely love and trust their videos.
Thank you Michael!
It's about time some of the European designs are available in the US. It's like the 70s were US automobiles were large an clunky. I do like the functional interior and the ability to sleep 4 in a small space.
Agreed!
John i hope they don't screw it up once the US version arrives. You know the dark fake wood and ugly curtains. Already hate gas stove in US version. Who want's open flames in a small plastic rv smh.
@@shannonstewart4792 agreed, I am tried of seeing great class B's on TH-cam only to find out there only available in Europe.
I totally agree. There are countless manufacturers in Europe, and some like Knaus have really efficient, and modern manufacturing plants. Plus, if you ever checked on pricing, comparable Camper Vans (class B or like they say in Europe CUV) cost about half (!) of what US manufacturers ask. By the way, the quoted prices for European Campers always include the high (16-24% depending on country) sales tax.
@@wolframluchner5316 , we are tried of the RV boxes that look like a 70s basement on the inside.
I really like this! Fantastic what they achieved with under 18 of space. I hope they are successful in America and are able to grow the brand.
I loved this model when it first came out in Italy. Glad it’s making its way to the US. The features are very nice for the small size RV. The price is high…. I really want one. Thank you for sharing & your presentation was on point.
This configuration is a total game changer. Maximum space, comfort, efficient storage. Price point is about what I would expect. Who ever purchases one will get a lot of great use out of it.
It is awesome, as someone who thought Veedubs were expensive this had me crying.
Absolutely beautiful! WOW! Exactly configured how I would want mine. Just amazingly perfect.
Wow, this is amazing!!! Love that extra bed on top. Incredible design!
So nice to FINALLY see some of these Ducato-based B+ RVs start to hit U.S. shores. If you want a B+ in North America, you have almost no choices that are not at least 24 feet long or longer. Plus, while these are wider than a van, they were still a good 4-6 inches more narrow than most domestic B+ models and small Cs like the Navions. That reduction in width combined with the shorter lengths of these Wingamms (the longest of which is only just over 22 feet and they have to other models right at 20 feet) means you still get almost all the maneuverability and parkability of a Class B with most of the amenities of a small C. Plus, I *want* a cassette toilet and a ceiling mounted bed. It's not just Europe, but Australia and New Zealand as well where most motorhomes are more like this than what we have here. I also love that they have kept the European design of actually having real passenger seats with three-point harness belts, something that is legally mandatory in Europe but not here. Step up the lithium/alternator game and give me a larger fridge and I could even see getting one of these 17-footers honestly.
Amazing little RV with well thought out layout. Sadly that price range is ridiculous high & makes other RV’a in the same price range seem more viable. A shame they couldn’t bring the price down.
Price will make it not sell in US. Dead on arrival
Infatti a quel prezzo solo un pazzo può comprarlo
Yup.. that price is crazy.. get it down to 90k and give me ring!
yeah, vans with more features can be had for less, so that price was definitely a non-starter.
They couldn’t bring price down. Greedy bastards.
These Wingamm RV's are so great. I can't wait to see some of their other 20', 22' and 24' models come to the U.S. and to see what the usual manufacturers make to compete.
Beautiful , one of my favs so far , love all the white, lots of light and its small which is great
I love the overhead pull-down bed. Brilliant.
When these were announced I found the manufacture in Italy and these things were $60-65,000. Now that was about a year ago and this guy was going to sell them for $120,000 direct to consumer. I can tell you that a Promaster cutaway, short wheelbase chassis, sells for less than $30,000 or less to converter. Quite a nice profit....
A bunch of that is paying a tariff to allow them to sell it here. That’s why so many other countries can’t get get their items into the states. The USA says we are capitalists, but they run up the cost for some items from overseas, thus people continue to buy the crap RV’s US companies put out. I love the European feel, that’s why Leisure Travel Vans are my favorite North American maker, and they are Canadians.
They price is insane. Of course there is the 25% US import tariff on trucks, but still. You'll find something like this for half the cost - or less in Europe. The Fiat Ducato is actually quite a bit more modern than it's US counterpart, and it's available with modern, efficient diesel engines too. I feel there is a severe lack of competition among US RV manufacturers which allows them to bank enormous profit margins compared with European manufacturers.
There’s no way they were ever priced at $60k.
My cousin bought one in England for $62k but for $140K in San Francisco, it's not worth it. Sadly, American made junks are also not worth it. Americans have no ingenuity when it comes to class B RV's
Hey man, if you write something like this means that you don't have a clue of the Wingamm's prices. I have one and I am from Italy. These are rare vehicles!
This is the best i have seen I love it totally !!! It costs almost as my house! If I could afford it I buy it! But the refridge. Should be larger for wine,soda,milk n healthy drinks !!! Love love it !!!
Really nice! Love the separate bathroom.
Beautiful ! Everything looks amazing.
That's seriously a great family van. Still can't justify spending that much on a depreciating asset
I think you'd have to have a physically teeny tiny family to be comfortable in there. Lol Two people max, I would think.
Great point
Wow! I can't believe they got all that in a 17 foot rig! Great design and great presentation as always!
Yeah Greg - it’s pretty impressive
I like it. Can afford on at that price.
great marketing size! could fit in your driveway! Many of us have to park on the street where it is subject to ticketing or pay for RV storage. This solves that issue very elegantly.
No room for even a picnic table and chairs. Standing around under that awning all day will be fun.
@@billanderson8602 really... looks like plenty of room, if you have the right ones... roll up tables and fold up chairs...
LOVE how Europe designs their RVs. Love the look of a boat inside. No wood, no annoying seams or dark wood to make things look dingy.
This is an amazing camper with a proper bathroom. That is a huge plus💡💡👏👏👏👏
Wow that is like going inside a Tardis from Dr. Who! I really like the celling bed, that is a great idea to maximize space!
Love this RV. If I’m ever in the market for an RV this will be on top of my list
Awesome camper, great presentation. I love how chic it is.
So much better than typical camper vans.
145k? Holly cow thats crazy I will wait a few years to get a used one
Buy it in Europe, it cost 80.000$ here. Export would cost about $3000, I don't know why it cost 145.000$ in the US.
Well worth the price, especially compared to the crazy 😜 prices being asked for Class B vans ( $200,000 plus). Remember that price is MRSP.
@@MrItaliansound Yes , but how do you drive from Italy to the USA and still save ?
This is epic! They thought of everything. The kitchen has more counterspace than many Class A's I've seen. Thanks for the review.
You’re very welcome Alexandra!
Apparently not big enough for a microwave
They didnt think of everything by gar... eg no place to carry a picnic table and chairs. Have fun standing under that awning qll day
I ❤️ it, so cute 👍 I love the pull down bed. Nice size bathroom 🚽
Love the layout and amenities of this van. Way too expensive for us, but if we had the money we would definitely be preordering.
Pricy, anything but stealth - but also one of the most clever, space efficient designs I've seen. Nice modern feel. Drop down bed. Like the concept of anticipated storage for additional cassette. Truma, 12v A/C, many good features.
Which one is better in the same size ?
in addition to the intelligent design, the most important thing that unfortunately raises the price is the monocoque. It means that it was made in a single mold, there are no joints. So there can be no water infiltrations and drafts of air, it will never rot because it has no wooden parts. It will be easier to maintain a constant temperature. No glues were used and there is an air gap. I know of no other motorhomes built in monocoque. This is what makes this vehicle special. However in the US they made a much higher price than in Europe, if I'm not mistaken in Europe it costs about 80k
Many bad features too.. no room to store a picnic table and chairs. Imagine standing under the awning feeling foolish guys...
@@billanderson8602 really, again...? what do you mean? i see plenty of places for those items...
Love your walk arounds ! To the point and moves quick but you show it all ! Your knowledge of Rv's comes out in every video ! Love to watch !!!
Thank you Craig - so appreciate that
OMG! I want one. That would be perfect to go exploring our beautiful region here in Italy with! Starting to save now!
I like my Promaster based class B van. I can get up to 18 MPG on the road. The trick is not being in a hurry getting from point A to point B.
Even though I’m not a big fan of Euro styling, I do like this little camper! The bathroom is relatively large compared to the overall size of the rig! I love the ceiling hide-away bed (it makes a great selling point too)! I also love that at 17’9”, it’ll fit in all parking spots w/o any overlapping!
Great walk-thru Joe…great camera work Kait! Cheers as always to you guys 🥂🤗🤗
Thanks Rob! Going back to our bread and butter.
No room to store a picnic table and chairs! wtf? Why have an awning?
@@billanderson8602 really? this comment again?
Thanks for a calm, knowledgeable walk through.
You’re welcome Mary!
What a lovely camper, looks bigger inside than out.
This is amazing!! Love the bed storage, very very very smart
Great video! Since things are selling at MSRP prices I can safely say this is out of my price range.
MSRP + 10 to 20 % at least, seasonal adjustments. New lingo “seasonal adjustment”, saw that on a 4WD a couple months ago. More like seasonal ripoff charge!
Looks way roomier inside than it does on outside. Amazing
I love this rig more than any I have ever seen
I love this! definitely nicest small camper I have ever seen.
The RV is absolutely 💯 👌 🔥 amazing 👏.
I love the compactness and space efficiency. I hope it will make it here in the US soon. Being a Pro Master chassis is a plus because more dealer can work on it and probably cheaper to maintain than a Sprinter. I am ready and will buy it when it is here.
They said it will hopefully be here mid-summer this year
Sprinter are very low maintenance. Brakes, oil, tires are routine maintenance for all vehicles and can be done by any mechanic, even by someone who has very limited mechanical skills.
If people knew how easy it is to change brake pads, and even disc, they would do it themselves.
It takes me less time to change the brake pads than drive to my mechanic shop and come back home. He is 4 miles away.
Ive watched lots of videos about this vehicle. And I just love it. Id even learn to drive to have this if I had the money.. I just love the bed and that bathroom!
I have watched so many videos, read so many pamphlets. This is it. Wow. It’s expensive but it has so much. Cool.
That was a great review of this van. I have a panel van conversion but love this motorhome, it would be perfect for us. Sadly the price rules it out at the moment! Auto sleeper in the UK used to build great motorhomes with the monocoque body but they went out of production around 2012, I think probably due to the production costs. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent tour! Europe has so many of these small RVs, which are perfect for my needs, and it always frustrated me how the US lacked this type RV. I've salivated over the Hymer 314 forever! But with the advent of electric, I'm going to wait for electric 17' RVs.
I had an electric car for two years. Never again, I won't start saying why because in twelve hours I will need to get some sleep.
An electric RV is bonkers and unless you just want it to show off stay far away from them.
This is a great floor plan & use of space. Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
Perfect....Simplemente hermoso OASI 540. Great Video, Thanks!
Thanks for the nice review on the Oasi 540! Just a couple thoughts to consider, that I've discovered along the way... On the MSRP of $145K, there's also a $5K shipping charge to bring the unit from Italy to the US. Also, there appears to be no generator - which allows for those nice storage compartments. That said, the AC/Heater will probably use some considerable amps. To use those would probably require hookups at a campground. I'd be interested to find out more about their lithium option, both the cost and the additional amp/hours it would provide. My guess is that it would struggle to run the AC/heater unit while boondocking for an extended period of time. Unless it had the auto-start feature similar to the Hymer. Other than that, I want one!!
Wingamm says two lithium batteries optional...usually that means 200 amp-hr...enough I think if AC is not running!
@@taurusview9 Wingamm just sent over more info on the lithium. There would be two 120ah Lion batteries, replacing the standard 95ah AGMs. The cost for the two lithium batteries would be about $6,800. Also they mentioned that the storage bay is big enough to hold a small generator - so that's another thing to consider.
@@rikdeere THANK YOU!
@rikdeere: You are correct. Typically, European air conditioning units typically cannot be operated on battery power. Certainly not for more than a couple of hours. Even though in the video he says that the air conditioning runs on 12v DC, if it is a Dometic or Truma unit, that means it can only be used whilst in transit in DC mode. However, there is an Italian manufacturer who have developed a 12v DC unit so it really does depend on what has been fitted to the motorhome.
Battle Born lithium batteries with solar would take care of most of your needs. Generators are obnoxious. Nothing like being in a quiet, peaceful place with a loud generator chugging away.
Nicely done! I'd like to see it on the 4x4 Ford chassis to compete with the over priced Revel!
Oohh I agree!
4 years FulltimeRVer and NOTHING beats a permanent bed. No pull down, put together... I just want to lay down. Period!
I wish they would put this on a Toyota chassis instead of a Ram in the US. Great little camper. Thanks for the tour!
It is a very nice design. The price of class b's seem too high to me. I generally think everything costs too much. 🤔
Couldn’t agree more! Why so much for such a small RV? I get that the size is convenient, but this is ridiculous.
Did u say 14tk msrp. The selling price should be 70k same as Europe,
Wow I want this camper for my 55th birthday 😊
I LOVE THIS set up especially the bed .......wow ......
I've seen these in the UK and I have also seen all the other European makes and models, and owned more than I can remember. The Wingamm so far as I can tell is head and shoulders above all the others in terms of build quality. I have also seen US made RVs, and if you are used to those, you will be bowled over by the quality of the Wingamm. Not mentioned in the commentary were the door hinges which are aircraft quality.
Owned more than you can remember 😳 ? Wanna spare one for little ole me? Haha
@@JoshalynnLove Believe me you wouldn't want to be the poor chap who has been lumbered with one particular French one that I dumped back on the dealer following legal procedings.
It’s on the wrong platform, I would pick Ford over Ram! I’m also interested in knowing what the ground clearance is underneath? Is there a locker for the rear or four-wheel-drive?
Really like that design. Well done.
Wow that's beautiful!!!
Fantastic design. For that price though they are competing with a lot of other well-designed RVs on the market.
In fact 145t bugs are too much. Especially when you check which problems are coming with this technic. The area where the fibre glass body touch the steel body from the Fiat Ducato cracks occur and the body shell from Fiat starts corroding. Really beatyful camper but with a big problem.
@@bernhardtsuballa5341 Hey Bernhard, curious... how do you know of those cracks and corrosion?
@@kellyname5733 great question, and still no answer
@@DK-bk1vq Must be an unfounded claim then...
@@jbs68 I agree. A little evidence to back up what he's putting out there, would make his case. At this point, he has none. Guess he crawled back under his rock...
Well designed and practical, love it, but it's spendy -- you could pay one of the companies that convert vans and box trucks for half that and get all the bells and whistles.
Europe and Japan have so many dream RVs. Small and well thought out.
I have been waiting for this to come the US, love it.
Excellent design! I wish they would do the drop down bed on more RV’s.
Oh now I don't care for that at all. I'm just picturing it moving about and not feeling secure.
Could get away with never having to make your bed. That is a selling point for me.
@@shannoninalaska Want to know a secret? You never actually have to make your bed.
@@littlesthobo182 😄 That is true! I don't anyway because I have a room with a door I can close. Easier to close a door than make a bed everyday. Besides it is just me and I am not trying to impress myself. 😄
Have been following this unit for a while, had subscribed to their website and was hoping that it would be available in Canada.......do not care about the cost, this is a GREAT unit and would be usable as a Daily Driver and then.......the tour!
Exactly my sentiments...I think I see one in my drive way soon...good luck with yours!
Great idea for a small class b, price is a little high, but not to far off from full set up class b vans. But I’m sure US manufactures have taken note and soon one will come out from one of them, maybe even for a little less money.
Love it! The only thing I’d add is a small flat screen TV for rainy days.
You had me until you mentioned the price! $145K (starting) is outrageous.
I like this a lot! For solo travelers though I'd love to see an option where the seating for 4 was yanked out and replaced with a single stand alone recliner chair. Also, would like to see an EV model at some point in the future when range and charging infrastructure is better.
Yep definitely need manufacturers to start thinking about the solo travelers.
Do-it-yourself 😇
I like the light tones!
Yes! Don’t be scared, if you bring it, we will buy it, provided you don’t down grade the quality for the US market.
It's neat and very cute. It is not worth $150.000 for such a small camper.
I would by a sprinter first. JMO
I loved that Rv. Wish it had a bigger lithium bank. Other than that it’s nice. My wife hated it 😂. I could live in it solo 🤔😂😂. Looks well built and lots of storage too. Be nice on a transit AWD too.
That’d be a good platform for it
Like a space ship! So cool!
Wow, that is beautiful!
Nice review but way to expensive! Can’t wait for you two to get on the road again and share some new adventures.
Agreed. Few people would have that kind of money.
Love this rig (especially as a solo traveler)! I wish it were less expensive. But I know, you get what you pay for. Thanks for the review!!
Very true Jean
Great job you done, very detailed congrats!
