A decent amount of stuff included. I wonder if the shower curtain would be more of a hindrance than a help, a small towel for wiping afterwards might be preferable to some. Good to see it’s still got sensible dimensions so parking and the like should not be an issue.
Happy New Year Karina and Jules! Nice van - v similar to mine (which is prob why I like it) - although the shower/toilet is a compromise I came across an idea on Instagram or Facebook where magnets were being used to weight the shower curtain to stop it sticking to you - so I got some a few weeks ago and it’s a game changer/ problem solved. Also agree re the e.g. deodorant cans in the cupboard … the shelf above the tap/sink is where I keep mine (along with shampoo/showergel) - it’s actually a taller shelf than it appears and extends up behind the facia so nothing falls out! Look forward to seeing more reviews! Sharon x
Very good review thanks Karina and Jules. Good tip regarding using the shower out the window for dogs, bikes etc. I certainly couldn't cope with a shower curtain which is a pity as the rest of the van at this size/price point is nice. Wishing you both a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Good evening Karina and Jules , lovely to see you both again . I , too, like the grey , almost looks like its made of plastic ! I hope that bed is comfortable , the mattress doesnt seem too thick?( ah , I juist got to hear you say memory foam mattress.) I like the idea of it being able to be folded back so you can put more in the garage . I quite like the styling of the interior with the curve in the floor as you step into the dinette cab area, nice touch . at first I thought it was going to be a struggle to get ones legs in when sat at the tabel , but you have just shown that the table top slides, does it also pull open with additional space ?.( and once again , I should have waited ) I think the kitchen is neat and at least you get some more worktop space. although the sink is small , it makes it easier to clean the gas hob part , as all the oils and such flows into the sink . Neat gas oven. You sounded surprised to find it . What was the dark metal strip on the wall of the kitchen ( backsplash) and adjacent to the strip light ? what a strange place to place the light switches , I wouldve thought the ones in the cab would be operated in the cab. in the bedroom area , I suppose iof carefully folded and neatly stored in boxes the cupboards would work very well. But I guess one would get organised given time . Yes , I thought as you stepped into the washroom that the sink unit was higher than normal , and I wondered when you said it is a washroom all in one , how do the open shelving work when you wantto shower ? Karina , how do you have a shower outside wearing clothes? lol lol really good van though .
Thank you very much for watching and happy new year. I think I would want a good mattress topper on top of that memory foam mattress as I agree, it is quite thin. Yes, it took me a while to find the light switch.. but I like the dimmable function. I guess you could wear your swimming costume to shower outside, useful if you have come back from the beach and want to wash off maybe 😂 All the best for 2025!!
Thank you for watching David and happy new year, if you mean a campervan, you wont find many that offer a lounge and a drop down bed, those with lounges you then convert them to the bed area, or have a pop-top. Robeta do offer their models with an optional drop down bed above the lounge at the rear. If you were to go to 6.36 metres there is the Dreamer Living Van, Robeta Apollo with optional drop down, If you are looking for a motorhome then the Laika 105 is 6 metres and Roller Team, Mobilbetta and Wingamm also offer lounge and drop down bed models. Adria use to do a 520 ST model but this was discontinued a few years ago. You can use this website to do a more detailed search findmyleisurevehicle.co.uk/. Some manufacturers are not on there as they are not NCC Approved. Hope this helps a bit..
Have a great 2025 Here We Tow team!! As for that shower, I wish we would not have to compromise, so much, when we buy to fit our needs... I have two questions for you, Karina: How to avoid, or deal, with moister inside our motor home? How taking a shower and cooking inside can affect moister and smells of a MT? I trust your opinion, you show the motor homes but also give us your opinion/suggestions.
Thank you for watching, happy new year😊…. yes ventilation is key. I shower on board and boil my kettle three times on a morning. I make sure on a night I have at least one bedroom window on night latch setting, if not two. I usually leave my heating on over night at 17 degrees so it comes on if it gets too cold. When I shower I open a window a bit, either bedroom or kitchen. When I boil my kettle I open the kitchen window or use the extractor fan. If you have an air conditioning unit fitted this will also help reduce humidity, just use it for a short time if needed. Air conditioning is good for this especially in summer and when abroad. As for smells, when I do cook on the hob I always have a window open, or use the extractor fan if you have one fitted. Keep the hob and oven clean. I tend not to cook red meat in the Motorhome but do this outside. I do chicken in pan though and stir fry. I’ve not had a motorhome smell yet. So, in answer to your questions.. ventilation 😊
@@HereWeTow Thank you Karina for a very complete answer! Ventilation and Cleaning does the trick. I now you must have a lot of experience on this issues. I have some doubts on how well can we live in a motor home permanently. Still, I wish I could show you what I miss in European buildings. Always interesting and very informative to watch you Karina, thank you both for showing us so many options. ☺🧐
Very nice van conversion & Very well presented!!👍🏻☺️ is there such a thing as a van conversion that has drop down beds as i think its such a waste of space especially in these van conversions that have a double bed right across the back that could be a great size lounge?🤷🏼♂️
Thank you Dave, yes, there are a few that do a drop down rear bed, over a lounge. Robeta offer this, called the family edition I believe, and Adria Twin do a drop down. There will be others I believe but would have to have a look. These two are off the top of my head. 😊
@HereWeTow Bless you for getting back to me so quickly!!☺️ And you're very welcome indeed + thanks for the recommendation i Will have a look as you know its a minefield out there with choice!!🤷🏼♂️😬 Thanks again for replying!!☺️👍🏻
@HereWeTow OMG thank you for sending this & i cant find the others you said about but the link you sent sent me straight into the website so I'm just about to study it in depth hehe? Thanks again very much appreciated!!☺️

Thank you for watching Sharon and happy new year to you and your Mum. Thanks for the tip on the magnets..I will share that info in future reviews 😊😊👍

Happy new year. In your opinion, what’s your view on best van with large, lounge, decent bathroom and fixed or drop down bed at 6m. Thanks

Is the oven a grill as well or just a oven?
Thank you for watching, to the best of my knowledge it is just a gas oven and does not have a grill. 😊
