    With the annoyance of no fixed bed or drop-down bed, the cooker in a silly place next to fabric, and 1980s caravan decor, I'm amazed they sell any of these van based campers, especially at such exorbitant prices.

    • @Plethorality
      @Plethorality 2 года назад

      the decor was dull, to me, but would suit some people.

      It's funny how quickly he shows you accessories without actually deploying them fully. The shower and toilet look impossible to fit into. All these tiny campervans look great in theory but I'm sure once you live in one it's not quite so glamorous.

      I like the layout - very flexible , and easily changed at the back into a double you can leave up. I like the colour way inside too - yes it’s a bit dated but still fresh and pleasant, however I don’t like that cooker location - grease will undoubtedly splatter into this cushions. Also it’s expensive for what it is, compared to what the competitors prices were at the NEC in Spring.

      Basically this is a van that you can live out of if needed. This is literally a tiny house on wheels- so no it is not expensive. Most people are paying over $1K/month for a silly apartment. It all how you look at it.

There's an outside shower for her dog/muddy boots; even her bed comes down from the ceiling! (The table conversion thing is available for guests if needed). She has a fully functioning shower and loo. SO much in a small space yet it looks wow. The best home on wheels I've ever seen...

Materials for furniture is a lot better but the design I think falls way short. I can not remember the year of mine but the style of that could not swing a cat never mind have friends in. No way could you invite people in the back of. Knees would be knocking he’ll out of each other. Mine at the front with swivel passenger chair and seat as you climb in was comfortable for 5 to have tea with table or just guests drinks table no knees banging at all.

      It's because you don't need more. Most cars use bugger all horsepower even at cruising. Power figures in recent years have escalated due to marketing. Remember when 200hp was a fantastic hot hatch...with modern speed limits and congestion massive power is useless unless in Germany.

      I initially thought the same thing. My small A3 Sportback has 207., so how is this massive machine supposed to go up a Swiss mountain? But with Diesel engines it's about torque, not horsepower. A full-size 18-wheeler has 500 horsepower but massive torque. With a van or motorhome it's not about top speed or 0-60.

    Lovely van. All new Autosleepers both van conversions and coach-built are overpriced. We've had two Autosleepers, one was a new EB in 2014. Price new for this now is over £20,000 more! How can they justify that. They still come with snags, and good luck with that process. I only hope Autosleepers are more sympathetic with their repair policy, than when we had ours. We always went to the AS Service Centre in Broadway, avoiding going through the not so helpful dealer, and we're regulars there for minor internal and external repairs! We sold ours a few years ago as it was becoming too expensive to run. Not only keeping ahead of the snag repairs out of warranty but also the Peugeot diesel engine had too many "engine light on again" issues! We tried to use our AS coachbuilt EB regularly, but it doesn't always work out like that. You need to use a van for at least two months in every year to break even. So unless you are rich, don't do it until at least you are retired! This is my opinion from our experience, yours maybe different of course.

    Id turn the entire van into a bathroom and mobile storage facility… and I’ll just pack a good tent and sleep outdoors.

    2 seats swivel to sit followed by 4 places to sit at a table and then 4 more places to sit at the back … hmmm IMO too many sitting places for a van designed for 2. Back end should be full time bed, raised, with big storage available underneath from the rear
