    Westfalia do a folding ladder to access the bed upstairs. I have one ..... it’s great

    I absolutely LOVE watching your videos because you always explain them nicely and it gives me a wonderful idea of what we want to buy. This is the best yt channel ever about camper vans. xx

    Love the Westfalia finish and quality ... Harbour Creek are a very nice family dealership. Caring and knowledgable without the pressure sales of others. Nice review.

    Loving the reviews on your channel guys. Do the Westfalia vans come with outdoor table and chairs like the Cali and Marco Polo?

    a minicamper, however essential it may be, must be as autonomous as possible, that is, it must not depend on an external bathroom and shower, the availability of which is imponderable. This vehicle has neither a toilet nor a shower so, in my opinion, it is perfectly useless.

    Thanks for the tour! I’m gonna get me one tomorrow. What? They don’t sell these in the United States? Ugh...ok. I’ll just buy the California Camper then. Wait what? They don’t sell that in the United States either? Ugh! Come on VW!

    Great review, would have been nice to see you camping in it. Then compare and contrast your Cali cheers ;-).

    Awesome review! This looks cool I would prefer the Kepler one (if I lived in the uk) only because it has a bathroom. But this one looks cool too.

  • @ianmason8713

    Does Westfalia sell the Jules Vern in the UK? I had a look around one of these, here in Belgium and was impressed, especially as it was very competitively priced, compared to most of the other Westfalia products.

  • @williamdonnelly2705
    @williamdonnelly2705 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    An other great informative video guys. Much prefer this to the Kepler one due to the fact the space is not wasted by trying to provide a bathroom. Much better and more flexible use of space and I would also consider this over the California due to to fact 1. LWB = more space and 2. The flexibility options with the seats and floor rails. The VW transporter can have these rails, VW should have more design options in their Camper Van stable I am sure they would sell.

    Nice looking van with some good design touches with some similarities to the Wellhouse/Lunar Terrier Transit

  • @darrenjones3681
    @darrenjones3681 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well done guys, is that swb or lwb? I’d still like to see a lwb conversion with a normal rear rock and roll or California style rear seat bed still on rails like the California just so our furry four legged friends have more space at night

  • @HighPiElliot
    @HighPiElliot 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the video! Just a little error in the description if you're as picky as i am. It says check out the Kepler one, not six 😁

    • @ABusAndBeyond
      @ABusAndBeyond  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha! Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll change that now 😁

    @rogerwaldram4295 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lovely camper but not for us here in France after our Hymer Exsis i. For me so much missing compared with the Kepler One or the Jules Verne. No more porta-potti's for me! Checked out this since currently I can only find these with an auto gearbox here.

  • @bobparker637
    @bobparker637 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Children's coat hangers could work. As for ferry costs, DFDS motorhome upto 7 mts then upto 10 mts. I know others have a different pricing policy. Working on the above if your camper is 7.1 mtr - put a bike rack on.

  • @flybyairplane3528
    @flybyairplane3528 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is this LHDrive a petrol, or diesel? Wonder if it could be registered in the US?

    • @DoctorFish10
      @DoctorFish10 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is diesel, but I think they do a petrol option (not sure how that changes the webasto heating though)

  • @dackel1237
    @dackel1237 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for the review. The Kepler Six from Westfalia seems interesting. What I could not see or missed were two things, 1.) how does the roof opens (the same way as with the California?) and 2.) I didn't see the dashboard. It seemed to me it is a standard transporter dashboard and not that "more care like" dashboard from the California. But I could be wrong here.

  • @ericm.4747

    They even manufacture them in left hand drive and they won't bring them to North America. )-: Great review!

    • @ABusAndBeyond
      @ABusAndBeyond  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eric Marzucco I think it’s for the European market but it does seem a shame. Fingers crossed for the future.

    • @flybyairplane3528
      @flybyairplane3528 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eric M. I saw in the HAWAIAN ISLANDS there is a rental company, that HAS NEW WESTPHALIAs LH DRIVE but are PETROL, NOT DIESEL, but HAWAII gets lots of stuff that the 48 contiguous states DO NOT , Cheers from NJ USA

  • @jakeroadtonowhere4070
    @jakeroadtonowhere4070 5 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @mirkwoodforest6572
    @mirkwoodforest6572 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review, great van. The rack system would be great for a porta-potty and it’s too bad that the engine drive air conditioner couldn’t be replaced with an electric motor (powered by the alternator when driving or the mains when parked)...

  • @3GsRuthless
    @3GsRuthless 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    really like this for the ability to move seats around. even take them out for transporting things around. good for everyday use. seems a better fit for me than the Keplar 1

  • @benvernick
    @benvernick 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice, although I prefer the Kepler One myself. Interesting that it comes in other side drive, I’m wondering if you could import one into the US? Sadly we don’t have Westfalia in the US.....I’d give up my first born for a Kepler One 😀

    • @flybyairplane3528
      @flybyairplane3528 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ben Vernick guess what,,in HAWAII there are WESTFALIAS FOR RENT,,NEW but only petrol engined, but don’t have your hopes too,high,,HAWAII gets vehicles that the lower 48 DO NOT GET.CHEERS from NJ

  • @tombell8156
    @tombell8156 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @ic2742
      @ic2742 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Fridge is in the cupboard behind the seats on the one.

  • @blacklablover2982
    @blacklablover2982 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another brilliant review. I hope Harbour Creek appreciate the customer traffic your reviews generate 😁. I am off to visit them prior to driving home after the covid 19 lockdown is lifted. They certainly have some great products.

  • @bluerallyes2
    @bluerallyes2 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Viable alternative to the California but I think the Cali residuals will be stronger. Tough choice for me, def between this, the One and a T6 Ocean.

    Another great review, i do like the build of Westfalia has an aircraft feel about it, I don’t think Mrs W would handle getting into the top though. Were the rear seats able to recline?

    Really enjoy your videos, do you find you have enough space in the VW campers for a longer trip or would you prefer a bigger space?

    • @ABusAndBeyond
      @ABusAndBeyond  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have certainly proven that you can do longer trips happily in these size campers. But sometimes more space is also nice. It completely depends on personal preference 😊👍

  • @lighterpacks
    @lighterpacks 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video! But make sure to get a deadcat for that lavalier mic to remove a lot of that wind noise.

    • @ABusAndBeyond
      @ABusAndBeyond  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lighter Packs We didn’t even use the sound from them in the end. The sound is all through our RX100 which has a cat on it and the lavmic was a test to see which was better. RX100 won.

  • @odd_job_007
    @odd_job_007 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A common trend I see these days is TH-cam channels start off in the purest form of its intention (i.e. the cali/vw camping lifestyle) and people (like me) buy into it because its brilliant to see other people's experiences, but at some point, especially when the subscriber count goes up, it turns into a marketing conduit? Not dissing you by the way because your delivery is great, but its a shame your channel loses its essence (obviously just my opinion). Good luck with your 'new' channel.

  • @simonspain6080
    @simonspain6080 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I saw this and the Kepler One when we were travelling through France......in our California T5 and I have to say I was rather disappointed with the build quality myself. They are cool ideas but no where near as solid and finished as the Cali is and even though I criticise my Cali for many faults I was glad I had seen these keplers as it made me realise that I had the better van. Just a bit thin and cheap plastic in places. And ok the door holds the table but the Cali has TWO tables and two chairs! Bench in the Cali is much more comfy to relax as a sofa also as separate seats may be great when driving but are not easy to relax and lay on when you want to use the van to live in. No....Cali is still the best.....even though I don't know why some smart person at Westfalia or VW can't do it better!

    May your viewers know, are you being compensated for the sales pitches ?

      These are not paid reviews. If they were we would tell you as per TH-cam regulations. 😊

    • @ABusAndBeyond
      @ABusAndBeyond  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Correct. As mentioned, the Kepler was driven to the beach for us to review and taken away again after. Wasn't much of a holiday 😂

  • @colinstewart173
    @colinstewart173 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really like the individual rear seats and the bed is a great idea. I also really like the adaptable storage options and the fact the boxes can be removed so you can pack Indoor and then put the boxes in the van. Does it have heating as an option?

    • @ABusAndBeyond
      @ABusAndBeyond  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it comes with blown air heating. Same as the Cali basically.

  • @Saxlicker
    @Saxlicker 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice to not see carpeted walls. Agreed there are some quality finishes and great versatility i.e. keeping the van short and still taking bikes. Good job but would have to save a fair amount of dosh to stop me buying the California Ocean instead.
