Excellent vids, relaxed but detailed narration without the commonly seen talking heads syndrome or the constant accentuation of each syllable by pseudo Karate chopping moves (a pet hate of mine). Well done indeed - thanks Nick.
Have to agree the sink idea is ingenious. Hate wet room type affairs. Who wants water all over your toilet and sink. Solves that issue. Really well made camper. Nice one Nick
We have a 2004 Nuevo and in this new one you have lost the storage over the cab which is a huge loss as it is the best place to store long stuff. Also the microwave which you don’t need takes up a very valuable space so in all a bit if a step back I think
Hey Nick I really like this motorhome it's packed with great ideas like the kitchen at the back and the movable wall in the shower and I would definitely opt for the Mercedes cab over the Peugeot one, Have a great weekend bud
Nah, Mercedes trumps Peugeot! I would gladly spend a summer touring Europe in one of those. Love the layout with the kitchen in the back and that swinging sink in the shower room is the work of a genius. Thanks Nick.
It's the small conveniences that sets this one apart. I'm seeing all those other "rigs" in the background and I'm hoping for lots more tours. Thanks for this one...
The moving sink is a great idea. That lip on the edge of the cushions looks like it would make for an uncomfortable lump in the middle of the bed, though. Perhaps they flip over?
Good review Nick. A couple of things you might like to consider pointing out that, in my experience cause lots of confusion amongst those shopping for campers/motorhomes 1. The 4 burner hob is nice to have but on this model is further enhanced by one of the 4 being a 240v hot plate for use when on hookup. 2. Full air con (as opposed to cab air con which you pointed out) is nice to have but unless you have masses of habitation battery power and an inverter are really only for use on hook up. Finally, in case you get asked ( as many other RUclipsrs have been) what the black box with the flashing LED was inside the overhead locker.....it’s the comms box for the Truma iNet system. Equip it with a sim card and you can use Truma’s smart phone app to control the heating and hot water system when you are away from the vehicle. Hope that helps and love the videos 👍
Hiya Nick, lovely 🥰 vid. Could you get one of these on the Mercedes base but longer, with the kitchen and door at the back but a bed 🛏 in the roof that comes down electronically? Keep up the great videos Nick and please stay safe and healthy. Thank you my darling 😘
Very nice, just spent the morning looking at a Regency and a Winnebago both on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis . This looks much nicer build wise, the bath is amazing with the fold away wall and 1/2 the price of the ones here in the State’s!!
We’ve looked at getting a motor home. Would have to go down the coach built route, really not convinced by van conversions although they are cheaper. This one looks good but there’s a lot to be said for having a permanent bed. Cheers Nick
Yep, in my opinion van conversions are quite bad. In a coach built camper you have the advantages of fiber-reinforced plastic which can't corrode/rust like metal, is much much lighter, has better heat/cold insulation properties and have much better space/layout.
Great review , I recently looked at an 08 plate Nuevo for 26k , beautiful, hold their value really well , everything you need as a single person touring .
Hi Nick, What i notice is that the co alarms are at the top of the motorhome. I think thats stupid because carbonmonoxite is heavier that regular air. So when the co alarm goes of the hole vehicle is already filled with co and you would probably already be unconscious. Its strange to me that those constructors do not think about this. Sincerely, Rens
Really enjoying this series of the compact RV's Nick. Thank you for doing it. 👍 Considering this one is based on a Mercedes chassis, I think it is very well priced and you get a fair bit for your money.🥇 love that movable sink in the shower area, never seen that before, great idea.👍 P.S. is there any chance that you might find the time to do another series of walking videos, like you did at the start of the pandemic? 🚶🏻♂️👍🏻
With Shell and Morrisons removing lpg pumps from their forecourts, I’d be wary about buying a Motorhome with no gas locker for exchange bottles. Like the Merc cab though!
I've just started going through the motorhome tours Nick, having gone through all your yachts - I figure living 50 miles from the coast they might be more realistic! Lovely little van this, the shower unit is especially neat. Out of interest, is Nick Whale Motorhomes the same Nick Whale who kindly gave you a tour of his lovely Princess on the floaty channel?
Here in America we're used to all sorts of RVs on the road. We're neutral about them and understand the urge to use them to explore. I've gotten the sense that there is some contempt for them in England... am I right? Is it just the towed type? Is it the American "big good" and the British "big bad" thing? Obviously there would be exceptions on both sides. Are my senses mistaken?
I think there are a couple of things: - U.K. roads are often quite narrow and twisting compared to US ones so any vehicle that slows down traffic can be unwelcome. Possibly this is more caravans ( trailers) than motorhomes ( RVs). - there is a lot of dislike of the travelling ( what might be called gypsy) community ( mainly Irish, sometimes Romany) in the U.K. who are seen as a bit outside the law here and often leave mess behind. They mostly have large caravans, sometimes motorhomes. Many people can’t discern between travellers and holiday makers and view motorhomes and caravans with suspicion. Experienced U.K. motorhomers tend to try to get across the channel as often as they can were the culture in France, Netherlands,etc, is generally more welcoming than here.
@@philipellis7039 Excellent information. Thank you Philip. It's not something I've done but I could see myself doing it in the future. Culture and opinions change. Maybe someday Brits will enjoy trips around their fair country and the culture will appreciate it. Road size is important though as you say. Building more substantial roads doesn't seem to be popular. The inverse actually.
I guess the extractor exhausts out the roof? Or, is the vent in that fitting where the rear camera is mounted? Hmm.... The way the bathroom unfolds to become a dry-bath is the one innovation I predict will be copied. I am disappointed an RV priced at seventy-five kiloquid has a cassette toilet. That's unacceptable. I just checked the Auto Sleeper website. None of their models, even the largest ones, come with black water tanks.
Small but one of the nicest yet. Love the swinging hand-basin arrangement.
Excellent vids, relaxed but detailed narration without the commonly seen talking heads syndrome or the constant accentuation of each syllable by pseudo Karate chopping moves (a pet hate of mine). Well done indeed - thanks Nick.
Love the rotating sink shower wall, quite a party trick.
I thought it was a great way to make use of limited space as well.
Have to agree the sink idea is ingenious. Hate wet room type affairs. Who wants water all over your toilet and sink. Solves that issue. Really well made camper. Nice one Nick
We have a 2004 Nuevo and in this new one you have lost the storage over the cab which is a huge loss as it is the best place to store long stuff. Also the microwave which you don’t need takes up a very valuable space so in all a bit if a step back I think
Everything you need in a compact, intelligent design.
i hate commercials.
but I let them run, to support Nick.
he does not get much for the commercials.
but if we all help, it will be a little money.
Same here. I let the commercials run to the end.
04:03 🎉 VERY clever, the Head with swing out sink to limit Shower 🚿 Splash. Should be adopted on small water craft. Make a note👍
What more could two people want.. Brilliant layout with the Kitchen to the back.. fantastic Nick.. Thanks for showing us round.
My pleasure!
Very interesting layout with the kitchen in the back. The bathroom separation was a big surprise! Sweet little camper!
Another interesting one. It is really nicely finished inside lots of space for two people.
Thanks Nick
Glad you enjoyed it
Impressive for being compact yet still has a shower, very nice 👍🏾
Like that especially the clever bathroom with the movable sink ❤
Hi Nick. A clever idea in the bathroom. Comfortable interior with all the amenities. Great walkthrough video thanks 😊
Glad you liked it!
We had 2 nuevo and they were brilliant. Over 125,000 miles between them and lots of happy memories

Really smart motorcaravan indeed, love the interior ambiance.

More coming!
Really cool little rig Nick camping in style for sure thanks for the tour mate enjoy your weekend 👍🇨🇦
Thanks, you too!
I LOVE THIS, LOVE THE KITCHEN AT THE BACK ENTRANCE!
سلام خیلی عالی من مسعود کوزه گری هستم
It's small but interesting and stylish... Lots of space for storage... Wonderfully made.. With modern art... And as always looking dashing Nick Sir...
The moving sink is a great idea. That lip on the edge of the cushions looks like it would make for an uncomfortable lump in the middle of the bed, though. Perhaps they flip over?
Great videos on the camper vans.....just the perfect length.....please keep.them coming👌👏👏👌
Thanks, will do!
A well nice setup inside ,better than some that cost alot more .

Very neat little RV. I wonder is there any screen for the driving area when you are sleeping?
A nicely appointed quality unit
This looks fabulous! Just wondering if there is a bump in the middle of the pull-together matresses to make the bed?
You just swap the cushions over and the bump becomes a buffer from the wall with the two inset cushions in the middle
Have to say the Merc is more appealing. Definitely a nice way to enjoy life 😊👍
Excellent. Looks like great quality of build. Neat head. Super little bug for two.
Really like the layout. Would be in the running as home for single person or couple not wanting to pay rent but rather use money to pay off van.
Good looking RV. I’d love to have one to travel around in.
Another excellent video Sir Burnham!
Glad you enjoyed it
Feels very old fashion. The best compact so far: Benimar tessoro 481
Hi Nick,
What i notice is that the co alarms are at the top of the motorhome. I think thats stupid because carbonmonoxite is heavier that regular air. So when the co alarm goes of the hole vehicle is already filled with co and you would probably already be unconscious. Its strange to me that those constructors do not think about this. Sincerely, Rens
Carbon monoxide is not heavier than air, it's lighter, hence the correct place is high up.
It would be great if you included stats like fresh water capacity, size of lpg bottles that can fit etc
What a shame Australia doesn't have this model. Just what I like.
Sir Nick, I enjoy your company on my day off. Love ur timepiece & Benz rig. Thx u for the land & sea content . 🇺🇸👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Very nice. Mind you, all the the vehicles reviewed by Motaholic are very nice.
I really like this one.
Well done Nick, superb as always.
Glad you enjoyed it

Uh oh nick, you pressed the auto destruct button again!
Love your videos. Just a couple of suggestions. Engine size/power and vehicle GVW/payload?
Hello Nick, Maggie and Jack.
This must be one of my favorits :)
Since it's compact, can I drive it on a standard UK licence?
Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. Looks very nice 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Smart layout.
With Shell and Morrisons removing lpg pumps from their forecourts, I’d be wary about buying a Motorhome with no gas locker for exchange bottles.
Like the Merc cab though!
love the motorhome walk-throughs but they need more info on dimensions imho
Does the awning come as standard with this van or an add on ...love it 👍👍
Pretty sure iNick Whale motorhomes include this in their spec, they'd be able to confirm
I see one problem with this Motorhome, it doesn't Float
Keep it up
Wilco!
I've just started going through the motorhome tours Nick, having gone through all your yachts - I figure living 50 miles from the coast they might be more realistic! Lovely little van this, the shower unit is especially neat. Out of interest, is Nick Whale Motorhomes the same Nick Whale who kindly gave you a tour of his lovely Princess on the floaty channel?
Sure is!
Please send one to US, our makers aren’t these talented
Ok thats a really cool place to buy an RV..Look at all those coaches! Nice to see Maggie yesterday..
What a tricky shower, the kitchen sink window is working to.
Since its compact, can I drive it on a standard UK licence?????
next franchise........ tinyhouseholic
Does it have the same driving features your Mercedes?
Have to pull out and make the bed? For 75k? What were they thinking, should drop down from the roof
Or both, that would be awesome.
Neat little camper...
No tv? You would think they would do the popup ones as per yachts
They fit it once the new owner buys it, depending where (and whether) they want it.
It’s a Galley Aft! 🤣

got'em first
Hi nick, What was that bulge on the door on the inside?
I'm not sure. Maybe a bin
@@MOTAHOLIC that’s what came to mind!
Nice motorhome...however...if I had £75k to spend on one I'd have fixed bed and bit bigger

It is no television inside. But it is good and cheap RV
Nice GMT coke u have there Nick!
Thank you!

Auto sleeper above mbux looks bad
I'm here! 🤣🤣
Awesome!!
Am I alone in waiting these videos to finish by checking the engine?
163hp WTF? My VW Jetta has a bigger motor lol
Bad layout, should have a proper drop down bed.
Nice vehicle, just £15K overpriced!
Auto sleeper is a stupid name
