Vantage Ora campervan review

A Vantage Ora has as standard, colour coded front bumpers, alloy wheels, black grill and Remis cab blinds. It comes in a choice of metallic colours including lake blue and white gold as well as traditional silver.
The Ora is designed for those who prefer a front lounge layout with the option of either two single beds or one large super king size.
The large sliding door gives an open aspect directly from the lounge creating a real feeling of space.
The spacious front lounge has the benefit of two feet up sofas adjacent to the open-aspect sliding door, quickly transforming into either two singles or one large super king size bed.
Full oven and grill, large fridge freezer and lots of handy storage together with an additional fold down work surface, make this well-appointed kitchen extremely versatile.
The open plan lounge has a real feeling of space with two large feet up sofas. The large rear washroom is fully equipped with drop-down basin, mixer shower and handy bathroom cabinet.
With two table sizes which stow away neatly above the cab area, the lounge quickly transforms into a relaxing dining or spacious social area. There is space for chairs on the rear doors together with a boot storage area.

Nice to find your channel- we also travel around Europe in our motorhome. Good to see some other vans- love all the various options available! Look forward to seeing more! 😀 👍

Thanks for writing! Greetings from Bavaria!

I’d beg to differ on cooking Alan I’d prefer an oven (don’t see the point in having just a grill) simply because you can prepare food and freeze or chill it or make from scratch, pop it in the oven while you then go off and do something else, plenty of healthy options can be baked and you also have the option of keeping food warmer longer if perhaps your diner guests are a little late

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Good points Darren.

I like the layout and the full kitchen as I like to do a lot of cooking in my van (autotrail Kiowa) . really nice open feeling in the lounge . I wonder , could they have made the kitchen a bit longer one side by using the passenger seat as the bed extension?

[@lindapeterson5810]

could live there easily, with the hanging space!

Nice van. Harsh revue. I cook too, usually from scratch but still find microwave ovens quite handy. Been living out of campervans for 14 years now. Just got my first parking ticket at The Sage car park overlooking The Tyne. Pressed snooze for 10 minutes!!!

[@VanlifewithAlan]

So the traffic warden could see you were in the van but still gave you a parking ticket?

[@hip2bsquareguitar]

@@VanlifewithAlan Yes. I was clearly visible snoozing. Vampires!!

[@ursamajor6546]

I could tell you were in the UK Alan - all that ghastly wood effect!!

[@subatomicdig8520]

Just a thought. If your in the toilet room at the back and the oven door drops open accidentally will it lock you in? Yes yes it will. How dangerous if your trapped and there was a fire. Cooker and sink need swapping around to meet NCC regulations

[@rogerwaldram4295]

Not for me. Gave up daily bed-making when we stopped caravanning. Do like the underslung gas tank. Maybe an LPG powered van?

Thanks for video are you reviewing the vehicle that was visible from van @5:36 , the single door one.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I think I have it - I will post it!

Where do you live Peter?

At 5:00 in, another van with the sliding door replaced with an outswinging door comes into view. This seems like a fantastic idea. Did you happen to film that van as well?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I videoed them all Robert! There you go, there is the lot : th-cam.com/users/AlanHeathTravelsearch?query=Vantage

This is more like it Alan

[@bigjobby11]

Why are you reviewing a 2016 van now?

[@pissedagainlikeiwas]

it is a 2017 van

[@cmorait]

I do not like that layout. I like when always a bed is available.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I do as well, I don't like making up a bed when I am already half asleep!

[@warecho]

exactly!
