Hi. I found you and your channel after following up on a visit to the MotorHome And Caravan Show at the NEC in October 2024. May I say how fantastic your reviews are. Not only do you hit upon all the interesting and relevant points, I can't believe how the pair of you do reviews in a single take, without any speaking hesitation and with excellent camera work. Quite unbelievable and a real treat to watch. Not a moment of waffle - you really hit the spot and make it so easy to enjoy your video posts. I'm in the process of catching up on your past work. I've learned more from your reviews than I did in many hours exploring the show at the NEC. Excellent work and thank you from me.
As a Malibu 600DB owner I have some comments. Firstly regards the bathroom. I am sure the rear of the shower room has a cover for the wooden cabinets and exposed 240v socket. Its a decent room but personally I like the one in my DB600. What I really like is the bed layout being able to sit up, however the associated side storage is at the expense of loosing under bed storage compared to the previous 600DB design. With the Merc it appears we have lost a valuable over cab storage cupboard too. But on the whole its Ok. Here's my wish list for Malibu for the next generation please as you clearly have missed a few points in this updated design. 1) Make this electric friendly by including decent lithium batteries (2-4Kwh) and AC/DC inverter + decent solar on the roof plus efficient DC charging from the alternator when driving. 2) Add an induction ring to the hob 3) Use Diesel heating instead of gas as then fuel for heating is easier to get and cooking on gas is less of a requirement (backup). 4) Please for the UK market add a microwave option. 5) Include option for WIFI 4/5G router + external 4/5G antenna factory fitted for better integrated comms. Nice van though as they all are.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your comments as an owner..that’s is always helpful. I think your off grid equipment suggestions are very good, certainly the diesel heater too. I am pleased to hear you are enjoying your Malibu 😊
Thanks for watching, I can’t answer for Malibu but my thoughts would be a 7 metre camper van takes it in to a market that’s not as popular, 6.4 metres keeps it in the van conversion market with the likes of Adria Twin and many more. Hymer have only just released a 7 metre Grand Canyon..so, I would imagine it’s to reach a larger market who don’t want such a long van conversion. 🤔😊
Way way way way too complicated. Less is more & this has a lot of more which stacks up price. Talking about size & amount of cupboard space is nothing less than a huge waste of everyone’s time. Just rediculous. Finding something a bit more sleek, innovative, minimalist & much cheaper.

Thank you very much, we both very much appreciate your comment. I hope the show gave you some ideas and our reviews help you too. Enjoy watching 😊😊

Brilliant! I really like the setup, particularly the bed.
😊👍 Thanks for watching
£85K starting price and a show price of £125K, means it's a no from me. A super review as always.
Thank you for watching Alan 😊

Very smart, love the rear, a copy of IH Motorhomes who have done this for years
Thank you for watching 😊
IH motorhomes need a new interior designer. They are like your old Grannies house.😂
Good review (as is usual)
Thanks you very much 😊
why not just build on the long wheel base version?
