    Loving the layout

    That step up would do my head in.
    Personally I would find that bed a little claustrophobic with so little headroom but that's probably just me.

    Love the long table, so nice! The toilet outside door vents gases during use! Very good idea for the people inside. I like this layout a lot. Very nice. But the sink and stove suck. I would replace both immediately. Thanks for a nice tour, Alan!

    At 4:47 minutes into the film it seems that there has been a price of 64 390 Euros written on the windscreen at some earlier stage but then removed but still leaving enough to see the price.

    Great idea with the bed. The seating looks a bit hard. That toilet and shower Is a great idea at the back with an escape route.

    I like the idea of downsizing from my motorhome to a larger campervan but would need something like this to have internal space for bikes.

    Bet it’s not 25 euros , however one never knows. In my opinion the bathroom seems quite good. For what’s it worth the little plug seems quite effective even though simple. John. USA

    I most probably had of missed this one, I apologize. You still show awesome contents. I approve. Yes we need an insect net. Always a must. For any price over 100 Euros, or dollars must include an insect net. Why pay for it otherwise.

    Really cool layout for a small campervan. Better than the usual type you see in the Hymer Grand Canyon and others. I like that the bench seat is a normal width (rather than 1.5 the width of a single seat but supposedly for two people) especially. A folding bed in the bottom would mean this works for a family of four. Great video!

    Alan, I luv ❤ the drop down bed ... I wish 🤞 it would have a long version like the LA Strata Version that gives tons of under ground storage and loads of storage cabinets... By the way they should put an extended higher Top so their is more head room for easy walk thru .. Great 👍 job like always Alan ... HUGS from America ... 🇺🇸 Marla

    Agree that the bed needs more headroom.
    I’d add some form of outside curtain and awning at the back to change, shower etc and put some restraint system and a bar to store and dry skis, boots and clothes in the shower area overnight.
    I’d also lose the fwd facing seats as it only sleeps 2 and somehow try and get a Gararge in for bikes

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The forward bench can be made into a bed too - at least that is the plan!

    The shower in the rear is for washing off the nuclear fallout and decontaminating before you enter the main van, for when youve been scavengin the wasteland before heading back to your bunker....

    Lots of similarities to the 2000 Westfalia James Cook that we had but without the clever Westfalia bits like the top loading fridge, table storage, etc. I’ve often wondered why nobody had replicated the layout but this conversion goes to show that there is nothing truly new!

  • @lutomson3496
    @lutomson3496 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    they should add a window or vent next to the stove top, where the cubby is, still keep the cubby but have the window openable those vans are so small and without the stove next to the sliding door to let in fresh air there is no cross ventilation especially in cold weather you will have a lot of condensation hoping they have a diesel heater as well nice van thanks for sharing!

    Lack of storage will be a problem unless they find a way to add a double floor like the Dexter 550.

    • @VanlifewithAlan

      Come to think of it, by RV standards, it is medium sized company. They had a lot of converted cars to special purposes in their lot.

  • @ronecc2
    @ronecc2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As this camper would be used as a camper. just for the two of us, I would rather see the option of deleting the rear seats and having a slightly larger kitchen. Plus the bed needs to drop down a lot more, so you can actually get in it, instead of having to climb onto the top shelf of a bookcase. If it works out at £80,000 you would have to be joking.

  • @benkaptankirk

    The mattress is very thin, the space between bed and ceiling is low. Otherwise good design.
