  • The Karmann Mobil Davis 540 camper van is the shortest van conversion possible on a Fiat Ducato - 542cm. Inside Karmann Mobil has been able to pack in a double bed with wardrobe above the bed.
    BASE ENGINE: 2.3 ltr. 89 kW (120 HP)
    GVW (KG)*: 3300
    WEIGHT WHEN READY TO DRIVE (KG)**: 2825
    BED VARIANT: Double bed
    TOTAL LENGTH (MM): 5420
    BEDS: 2
    SEATS: 4
    FUEL TANK: 75 l Diesel + 19 l AdBlue
    FRESH WATER CAPACITY COMPLETE: 100 l
    WASTEWATER CAPACITY: 90 l
    BATTERY CAPACITY: 1 x 95 Ah
    Karmann-Mobil has opted for what it believes to be a elegant interior and it is done this by making it brighter and that is despite the dark wood tinting in the furniture. This includes, among other things, a high proportion of components that are completely white in color, such as wood. the kitchen unit or the upper cabinet flaps, a 900mm wide living room window and the bright LED lighting throughout the vehicle.
    In the lounge the wall covering has a leather look and in the sleeping area there is a cozy textile wall covering.
    With the optional lifestyle package Davis can be further customised with glossy wall-mounted closet flaps with a wide chrome handle above the seating and a chic indirect lighting on the kitchen block and on the upper cabinets. A visually striking worktop in the kitchen and the backlit metal panel with Karmann-Mobil logo directly at the entrance increase the exclusive character. An externally accessible excerpt from the kitchen and additional storage compartments above the rear doors and above the driver's cab round off the exclusive character of the Davis lifestyle.
    Other standard equipment includes LED lights with integrated switches, new upholstery with contoured seats, a stronger table top, Truma Combi 4 heater (optional diesel heater) and leather steering wheel. The concept package includes 130 hp engine, air conditioning, bike rack, awning, 120 liter diesel tank and cruise control.
    The prices start from EUR40.890.
    I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
    In my TH-cam channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, Frankia, Wavecamper, Maurer, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow and others.
    I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes others.
    I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
    I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

    Here in the U.S., this would cost $200k and it would break down right after you left the dealer! I've seen Euro built campers made for 5' Truck beds but here in America we have 2 choices and they suck!

    I am absolutely sure, you could buy a small, second hand 7 seater school bus, and covert it for far less money! no more than £20K ! and have it just how you want it!

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I see a lot of people making claims like this but never seen it done in practice. Whereas we assume that a home build has 'free' labour, the parts themselves come to far more, never mind the cost of the base vehicle. Also it is not comparing like to like, the seven seater school bus will have been used extensively over the years whilst this base vehicle is new and comes theoretically with a guarantee.

    The current market sucks! It's still too much money. If everyone quit buying these vans & RV's, the prices would go down to a more affordable range. But, as long as people still buy them, they'll figure we can still afford them if we want them bad enough, and prices WON'T go down.
