Very entertain review Peter. Bit short on the fresh water capacity, and a bit light on cargo carrying capacity. But the price is ok. They are almost there for a long trip to foreign climbs. Thank you for dedication.
Interesting choice of tabletop reading material Peter. I’m referring to the Orwell book of course, which I am also about to read. A good choice given the way things are going! The van is great too - as was the presentation.
Cracking 4x4 campervan. I think I'd prefer this one over the Hymer crossover panel van. The extra length just to accommodate that dining table. Great review as ever 👍
Wow some neat features in a quality van, my favourite has to be the adjustable dinette seat but nearly 10k for a pop top😱Nice to see you back Peter. Cheers K.
That plinth may help keep the lockers sturdy which is a good idea on an adventure van. I love the adjustable width rear seat❤ but the toilets getting wet if you shower🫤
It would be interesting to see the 6 metre version which would appeal to younger people without a C1 licence or those approaching 70 who don't fancy faffing about renewing their C1 entitlement. I suspect that it would also be more affordable. It's a shame that they haven't added at least a small/grill for the UK market.
The 6m version is much more compromised, especially in the lounge, and isn't a lot cheaper. You can see it in standard (not K-Peak) trim here - www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/reviews/campervans/yucon-6-0-bd-high-top
@@MotorhomeCampervan I see what you mean.I wouldn't want to be paying £85,000 plus various options for such a small lounge/dining space. It would be cramped even for the two of us.
I think you'd end up spending more with Hymer and for any serious off-roading I'd prefer a van-based model (steel body, shorter rear overhang, narrower and without plastic skirts, etc, that could easily be damaged).
130k!!! And the bed struts dont work & the wiring is messy and untidy.And the steps collect mud. Are they havinh a laugh.....this is house money so you wouldnt expect to have little issues like this. Should of all been sorted in the R&D phase.
Very nice nice van. I off grid camp all the time. The. For that price I would expect a good kitchen layout. 2 gas rings for 4 people is very limited. it would be a deal breaker for me. There are campervans. Half that money with better kitchen set up. Great video though.
There are cheaper campervans with more kitchen kit (not 4x4s or Mercs!) but more kit equals less storage, so it's all about priorities. This is typical for a European 'van. As for two gas rings - do you often use more at the same time?
For the price, I expected some more thought and better design in this. Some of those little things you can overlook in cheaper options, but you don't expect to run into those when you're paying this much for a van. I do think that 99.9% of motorhomes never need 4x4. It's mainly for the 'cool' factor.
The price here is largely accounted for by the base vehicle. Few might need 4x4 - I've been to the Sahara and Norway in winter without - but there's increasing demand for it from really adventurous customers.
If you watch the review it makes it clear that UK sales with be of RHD vehicles but we would have had to wait to review one of those and only the position of the wheel changes.
Rat’s nest wiring, cheap electrical components, I’d like to see Victron and Renogy for that money. Rear garage ply looks cheap and unprofessional. Crazy money!
There are plenty of more affordable 'vans on the channel (as well as more expensive ones!). If filet steak is £25 in one restaurant and £50 in another, then the £25 one is surely "good value"? That's the case here, it's not cheap but, compared with other 4x4 Mercedes campers, it's good value. Some rivals are over £200k. If you unsubscribe you'll miss our comparison of four campervans costing £25k to £30k, which is coming up next. We aim to cover all price points, for all types of buyer.
Peter is without a doubt, the go to man in campervans.
Very kind of you to say so. Much appreciated!
That's the one for me if the numbers come up but without the pop up roof. What a great van!
Wow, that´s is the best presentation of the K-Peak models, greetings from Germany!
Glad you liked it! Please subscribe to the channel to see all our new content
Another excellent presentation Peter. Thank you. Really considering this!
Glad you enjoyed it. Worth a trip to Newark to see it in the metal!

Thanks for your comments - and supporting the channel
Yes please, just leave it on my drive if I'm not at home.👍

Yes, it's an impressive bit of kit and the 7m version is much less compromised inside than a 6m Mercedes

The roof is pricey, but you don't have to have it
It doesn’t SEEM like a lot of money- it IS a lot of money. Like….crazzzzzzyyyyy.
Yes, it IS a lot of money but you could spend more on a Range Rover
That plinth may help keep the lockers sturdy which is a good idea on an adventure van.
I love the adjustable width rear seat❤ but the toilets getting wet if you shower🫤
Yes, the loo does get wet but at least you don't get tangled up in the shower curtain!
Lovely van, though that shower solution is really not on the money. They need an afternoon with the Adria design team!! Great review Peter as ever 👍🏻
Or Globecar, maybe, or Rapido. Some great shower designs in campervans these days - without curtains!
Thanks for your comments
I thought you had gone and left it to that urban motorhome bloke glad to see you back
Still here, still hoping to bring you the best reviews of the most interesting 'vans. Peter
so glad to hear that didnt want him takeing your job would of been a no no for me watching the channel again @@MotorhomeCampervan
Love it 😻
Where did you the music. Sounds like Vulcan Forge

Great video as always, though the hymer MLT 570 crossover is a similar price with similar spec seems better value for money
I think you'd end up spending more with Hymer and for any serious off-roading I'd prefer a van-based model (steel body, shorter rear overhang, narrower and without plastic skirts, etc, that could easily be damaged).
I love this motorhome I want to purchase it
SMC will be pleased to take your order!
So no full width bed?
130k!!! And the bed struts dont work & the wiring is messy and untidy.And the steps collect mud. Are they havinh a laugh.....this is house money so you wouldnt expect to have little issues like this. Should of all been sorted in the R&D phase.
Totally agree - looks very fragile with lots of poorly thought out design to use as a proper expedition vehicle

Are right-hand drive available 😊😊😊😊
Yes, the video explains that the dealer kept this LHD as RHDs had temporarily sold out
are they available in South Africa
I doubt it, unless you can import one direct from Germany?

Shocking wiring
Where?
5:59 battery install cabinet and inverter cabinet, rats nest
Should have a collapsible ladder
Totally agree
Shame the price starts with a 1 . . . 😅
So many do now....
No, I like the ultimate one Mercedes Benz
£131000 😂
£130,168 For a LHD? I realise there are more roads in Europe that require driving on the right than the left but, no thanks anyway.
If you watch the review it makes it clear that UK sales with be of RHD vehicles but we would have had to wait to review one of those and only the position of the wheel changes.
Thanks. However, the only one currently for sale in the UK (that I can locate) is LHD.
@@michaelportaloo1981 SMC are the sole UK importer, why don't you ask them about ordering a RHD?
Thanks for the advice. I suspect the LHD for sale, for the price mentioned in the OP, is the very same one you tested.
That is an awful lot of electric power with a tiny amount of solar going on.
Rat’s nest wiring, cheap electrical components, I’d like to see Victron and Renogy for that money. Rear garage ply looks cheap and unprofessional. Crazy money!
Off-road test was a joke
What would you allow with a £150k vehicle that's for sale to a customer???
@@MotorhomeCampervan Don't ask me please, because I would allow mirror-level mud
@@CantPickTheNameIwant Mud was still dropping off the underside weeks later...
Have you forgotten your audience?? £133,000 ‘good value for money’??? I will unsubscribe and find another reviewer for the better-value vans.
