    The great thing about these is that you can go almost anywhere a regular car can go, and they're so easy to drive. But call me spoiled (or old) but if there's no toity it's not for me... Thanks for the tour!

    looks good Nick, but if I had 70K to buy a campervan / motorhome I'd driving out in the Eldis Envy from two weeks back. That had everything most people would have on their camper wish list. I likes me comfort.

      It’s a day van rather than a camper, unless you want to pay camping site fees that is. But expensive is the understatement.

      @@oxheymackem true and I'm sure there's other negatives but on the other hand there are lots of positives like the ability to park anywhere a car can, a very comfortable 3 belted seat for passengers which if you have kids is a massive help or maybe that's just my kids 😉 but I do like the look of this camper too

      @ATH_Berkshire ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Get something big enough to have a separate bathroom and you’re unlikely to be able to store it at home. If a bathroom is a deal breaker there are lots of options within £10k of this to chose between, but you lose the ease of storage and the option to conveniently daily drive the unit. You pay your money an make your choices.

We’ve got our camper Kontiki Swift now, but that is a super little wagon and the colour is gorgeous. Also it’s VW in German so it’s build quality. Thanks for the videos. We really enjoyed them. ☺️🇬🇧

    The outlandish price makes this simply a rich person's plaything. I'm sure the WAGs will love taking a dump, washing, or performing other personal hygiene in a nearby hedge, so you're tied to campsites. The suggestion of organising and cramming kids (and their clobber) in there for anything other than a day trip is fantasy.

    You can spot the insecure folk a mile off. Popping in with their negativity. I can imagine they sap the life out of the folk around them.🤣. It’s the same folk I see popping up on other videos, absolute sand baggers with absolutely nothing in their own lives so they’ve gotta put a negative spin on everything. Yeah these vans are a lot of money, so are motorhomes, caravans and every other mobile home………but whatever works for each individual doesn’t have to work for the next person. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. It’s tragic that these people always have to give their useless not needed, stupid, negative comments. Never a positive word to say. It’s a really cool van, no one can say it’s not, it’s maybe not for everyone but it will 100% work for someone and that’s all that matters.
    Some folk will suck the life out of anything.
    Anyway, cool video.

    Hi all new to the group, can advise as we are currently looking at vw campers, whots the advantage of 20'' rims over 18'',as I've been lead to believe , tyres are more expensive and harder to get in certain areas, and the ride is not as forgiving as 18'' and mpg not as good, all this helps thanks in advance.
