    Ah love these little things. Amazing what they managed to do with not a lot of space. Would be a great introduction to camper van life.

    I used to drive a c15 van when i worked at citroen delivering parts, brilliant little vans, never drove the motor home version tho, brilliant video as usual 👌👌

    I do like the C15, brilliant simple and no nonsense vehicle.
    The vans were a proper tardis, so a perfect base for a wee camper and worth pointing out that you did get a version with a fixed higher roof and a (child sized) bunk over the cab.

    I've always had a soft spot for these so thank you for putting one to the test. I actually quite fancy one now. Always liked vehicles that are a bit quirky compared to the norm.

    I entered the retroshite competition to win this before seeing this video, and was looking up the Romahome to see what they’re like just incase I do actually win.. watched this whole video before realising it’s the actual vehicle that I could win 😅

    Those were the days when Citroen made good cars that lasted. Sadly those days are well behind us… I just had to scrap a 6 year old 2018 Grand C4 that’s beyond repair, my first ever and the very last ever Citroen.

    The exterior socket by the nearside door is almost certainly for the electric water pump for the sink.

    You need to watch antony valentine, camper nerd, dont ask my why i watch, i don't even camp. But he reviews and sells campers, does a few of these, think it has a lot more features than you think. They are surprisingly expensive too.

    Shout out to ex Tanfield Ltd employers in Horsham, West Sussex that used to sell these and the later Citroen AX based versions. I used to work at their Towabar And Trailer Centre in Essex and visited and saw these out on the forecourt back in the 90s.

      I remember my boss (the company owners son) telling me all about how cool these tiny campers were. I used to go on family caravan holidays so I already appreciated this kinda thing anyways. So cool and so near and tidy.

    They installed a higher power alternator, hence a larger battery

    Brilliant design but the cab and firewall scuttle would rot like crazy..
    Brilliant fuel economy on these drop down/pop up roof versions.. with diesel engine.

    This guy doesn't know much about camper vans. 'I guess this is for' and 'I don't know what this if for' ' we seem to have a wee sunroof' I don't know how this roof works' is not at all helpful

    • @RetroRatchet
      @RetroRatchet  2 месяца назад

      lol - you would never have guessed, as there is not a single camper in the last 150 videos. the video was about a person who restores retro cars and drives subscribers cars, who had the opportunity to drive a retro camper. dead simple....what you seen was my honest review, not staged and over prepped. seems a lot of people liked it. 👍🏻

    French cars are crap , the French are more interested in finishing work by midday than producing quality motors.
