  • This Hymer Grand Canyon S 4x4 RSX is is a protype model. This special RSX vehicle has rather stunning paintwork although I appreciate that this is not to everyone's taste.
    This 4x4 Hymer Grand Canyon RSX - Rock Stars Exclusive - model has been created for the Palmowski dealership, better known for cut price motorhomes rather than high end 4x4 campers.
    Features include upgraded 4x4, special Goodrich tyres, full Sprinter dashboard will all the options, leather and much more.
    The first question here will be how much. No-one knows exactly as it is a protype but we are probably looking at something towards EUR200k. Yes that is right - EUR200,000!!
    I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
    In my RUclips channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, Frankia, Wavecamper, Maurer, Dreamer, Itineo, Rapido, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Karmann Mobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Bocklet, Woelcke,Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Murvi, Bliss, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow, Holzmobil, Giotti Line, Florium, Fleurette, Ahorn, Westfalia, Space Camper, Orange Work, Concorde, Womondo, Protec, Auto Sleeper, Dethleffs, Ilusion, Gehocab and others.
    I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes others.
    I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
    I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

    this is very cool, very cool, i am very tempted by this baby but that price tag, £97k, that does buy a lot of luxury in motorhomes but obviously sacrifices the accessibility that this little beauty gives you. A choice between go anywhere in relative comfort and ease or go less places in luxury.

    seen the folding bed, it'd make sense to have the galley's worktop to run all the way to the back. giving up the seating area, slide the bathroom to behind the driver's seat and a fridge/freezer stack.

    Hi Alan. I am a motorhome & caravan broker for New Zealand. Do you know if there are any other 4x4 models apart from the Hymer MLT580 4x4 that is right-hand drive? There is a demand for 4x4 RV's here and I would like to explore getting them in to NZ. Thanks so much. Kind regards, Pieter from RVfinders

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  4 года назад +1

      Hello Peter. As you probably know, most 4x4 vehicles are made to order so that somewhat limits the choice. The Fiat Ducato 4x4 and Mercedes Sprinter base vehicles come in RWD but what you need, I think, is the ready made conversion and that is the problem! My own suggestion would be to use the base vehicle and manufacture to order - I am sorry I cannot be more helpful.

      I'm in Australia and we have the same problem here. The only suitable donor vehicle we have in our market is the VW Crafter 4Motion which is AWD.
      There's a few places that will add 4WD to an existing vehicle (our mining industry uses a lot of them), but you're looking at $60k AUD just to convert 2WD to 4WD.
      No-one is doing 4WD campervans, that market is all 4WD utes with slide-ons on the back

    with such snazzy looks, it is a pity that the cooker should still be gas - a technology definitely past its time. also, I have seen a video showing a Sprinter 144 RV by Zen Vans that has a pop-up tent accessible from the inside - outstanding. All the more extraordinary since the hard roof of the tent has both slim solar panels AND one of those fancy, multi-speed fans.
    it would be great to know if Palmo are willing to do customisation and, if yes, to what extent.
    pity that the 4x4 technology should not be by IGLHAUT, with whom Hymer have worked before.
    I'd rather have the bathroom right behind the driver's seat and, next, a freezer/fridge stack, both the same size (under-the-counter height, both of them) - Advanced RV do that sort of configuration.
    with the fridge removed from the galley area, the worktop could extend to the very back of the RV, with the folding bed carrying those plastic pads rather than having those sitting on top of that structure, which is quite ludicrous.
    seen the range of flaws, the music is rather inadequate, as this RV is a fail on multiple counts as it stands.
    This is Germany. the paint job is military-inspired...and you put Wagner music on that?! poor judgement.

      How do I do that if I have got copyright music blaring out in the background - which I might add, I asked on four occasions during the filming of this vehicle to be turned off.

      Totally agree. Even as a prototype, for it be around 240k is way excessive. The value for money here almost nill. 240k gets a lot of nice expedition vechiles if you look around. Not only that, buy a brand new sprinter or ford transit and drop another 75k on top of it to customize it. You'll get whatever you want however you want it. Or better for 240k you can get a lot of mid range expedition vehicles.
