      No he’s not... the Class B RV (sprinter, transit, and promaster based) movement is huge here but crazy expensive. The B+ models are usually slightly bigger vans but even more expensive due to the custom van like body.
      A lot of us want something just a bit bigger and cheaper, but our class Cs are huge... it’s difficult to find something like this... but I’d buy this. Probably even try living out of it for a bit.

    Looks perfect for a single or couple who love going off on cycling adventures, being able to transport expensive /electric bikes inside without having to dismantle them is a revolution. Also having a great shower/toilet, to wash off all the mud and sweat makes this layout complete. I’d been thinking of doing a van build, because it was the only way to achieve that lifestyle in a smaller space, but seems like motorhome designers are catching up fast, and doing it really well.

    I like the layout of the second fan too, minus the decals and color pallette.
    What caught my eye is the foldable sink in the bathroom. Perhaps not the best execution yet but they are definitely onto something here.
    The shower is massive and although round edges give a more 'stylish' look, square places just utilize every square cm they have got. Spacious shower for sure!
    If that bed would also be electrical raised, they have a candidate winner here, especially for that price.

    I can't understand why on earth they bother installing 2 flares in the kitchen, when you obviously cant use them both at the same time. Oh lord 🙈. Every single factory does that. They are to close to eachother, and you dont want to go get out your children's cooking set, to get a dinner on the table.

    • @pasho12now
      @pasho12now 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      What you state here is not at all obvious for someone with plenty of cooking experience in a motorhome... The flares are standard apart and in my brother's old Hymer I typically use three if necessary at the same time with no problem whatsoever... the cooking in this context is of course not generally employing the utensils in the greater range for obvious reasons (space) but when I use the big pan for one meal I just overlay it to cover two of the flares at the same time. We have also traveled with friends and their motorhomes and it is the same in all of the other ones. No one has ever complained about this issue and cooking is greatly enjoyed by all... :D

    I'd prefer to have more room in the bathroom instead of a separate shower (come sit-down bath). The flat shallow basin would also be very frustrating when you wanted to wash your hands and face. I like the huge garage - but it would be helpful to see if you could put fold-down bike(s) in it, or at least to know the minimum size of garage to accommodate such bike(s) and then to compare that with the dimension of garages as you do your reviews.

      That is not the biggest problem - the biggest problem is if you can register the vehicle and unfortunately I don't have an answer. You would need to speak to the vehicle licencing agency which is local to you. But on the other side, you need to pay import tax plus purchase tax on the full amount which will include the shipping which would be around USD2,000. On the positive side, the price would be reduced by the amount of purchase tax, called Value Added Tax in the EU, which is around 15 - 20 percent depending on where the vehicle is bought. My advice would be to speak to a customs clearance agent who deals with vehicles.

      The USA has individual trade arrangements with each EU country. The other issue in Europe these are not made with petrol engines and an automatic transmission will always cost more

    Several features similar to those I want to put into my self-build. Using the front seats with the table (why not? They're wasted otherwise when you're stationary) and the pop-down bed which means you have a permanent bed without using up space. I want to extend my seat sliders into the back, though, and use the front space for the bed.

    • @immortalsofar5314

      @Jo Beaumont I have to admit, I considered the speed of packing the bed away in the design. The fast getaway is one of the reasons I want an RV rather than a trailer. Once I got the van, though, it turned out the width wasn't sufficient for a comfortable bed so I had to move it into the back.
      As for security, I'm a software guy so I've been doubling up the backup/driving cameras for intruder detection when I'm parked.

    You really didn’t tell us nothing about the RV not the 12v or usb hookups, not where the water tanks can be stored, and didn’t show us how the bed comes down. It looked like a very good camper van but it was hard to tell.

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      What do you want to know about 12v that I did not say. I presume you mean USB ports not hook ups, the water tanks are not stored, they are fixed and I did not show the bed coming down because it is at a trade fair and locked.

      Yes, I would. I’d be using it for full time living. Most compact vans don’t have garage or enough storage space and tiny fridges. The first van in this video would be ideal for me.
      Only downside is the bathroom sink. I’d have to improvise and use a kitchen bowl on top of that tray over the toilet for a wash and shave.
