- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- We take a look inside the £90k EcoWagon Camper Van Conversion. Based on a Volkswagen T6.1 Transporter we have a look at all the options you can add to this beast of a campervan and what you get for your money.
Please note; this is top of their range and other more budget friendly conversions are available from EcoWagon.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to EcoWagon for bringing us one of their vans to film for the channel. It is a huge help to our subscribers when deciding what Camper Van's they would like to consider for themselves (and to have a good nosey at what else is out there!).

90k stunned...didn't see that anywhere on the van, particularly as it's a conversion. Great video as always guys 👍🏻
90k is a joke. The price only goes up to match the real estate as more people are considering to live on the road in the new generation. And RVs are becoming a potential option so the brands (and VW especially ) are adapting the price not to the value it is worth but to the price people are willing to buy a home
We own two Ecowagon Campervans and the fit out is of a very high professional standard (although we haven’t as many extras as this van!). We are very pleased with our vans from Ecowagon and their workmanship is exceptionally good quality. 👍
£90K plus insurance, fuel costs, depreciation, campsite fees, tyres, MOTs & road fund licence. You can stay in a lot of hotels for that price!
Agree it's a lot but you can't drive a hotel
That argument makes no sense. If you don't know the difference between a camper van and a hotel, you should watch hotel review videos instead.
You can’t find a hotel at a top of a mountain ⛰ range
For a little under £80k you can max out a brand new Cali on the VW configuration page, it's newer has digi dash, 4 wheel drive, dsg gear box, and adjustable suspension and even locking diffs, plus a better layout.
Ohh and you'd still have £10k+ left in the bank to fund trips.
Cheers guys for a great review. Can I just mention that our conversions start at 17k :)
Fantastic van! So good to have a converter who can compete with the Cali rather than offering a cheaper but inferior product. For a similar price point to the Cali you get to choose a zesty rather than bland colour scheme (you can have beige if you want 😂), the slide door is UK friendly, your conversion is done by British craftsmen, and the high quality of the fit out needs to be seen to be appreciated.
Compete with the Cali? It is far more expensive than the Cali.
It's a tarts handbag, only to be bought by builders, that have been paid cash in hand for the last 3 years. Used for 2 camping trips to a fully serviced holiday camp pitch, until Sharon insists on going back to that Hotel in the Algarve for £300 each all inclusive.
Thanks for another great review guys this van is special and total respect to EcoWagon. top off their game. The marshmallow brigade that drives around in bungalows will never get it. the clue is in the name. CAMPER van. In my opinion, Its a slick mean compact driving camper machine and worth every penny.
Love it but for 90k you'd hope they would've chucked some hot water in for free. 😁
I typically praise the European market with their camper vans, but my goodness.., £90,000 for this! In the US that buys you a nice camper van with a private bathroom/shower, roof mounted AC (and a powered vent fan in some models). No cassette toilet either, but a proper black tank. I like VW conversions, but this one is overpriced for what it is.
Bit of an unfair comment. You can buy bigger campers in the UK for that kind of money with all of the features you want. Take a look at Hymers for example.
Let’s see more affordable campers! 90k and no hot water...I know it’s a demo van but seriously overpriced 😫
Great video as usual 🎬🎬
Great vid - thanks. Always love to see what other people are doing to vans.
I knew the comments here would be as entertaining as the video. :)
£90k yikes 😱. Some nice features. I like the overhead cupboards and the fact that the bench seat is further back giving more floor space. Great to see so many usb/12v/3 pin charging points too. Blinds are a nice touch and I also like the fact that the internal roof isn’t fabric like the Cali (one greasy mark and you’re doomed). I wonder if VW will steal any of these great ideas? Thanks for another great vlog guys. 😊
£90k 😂 The folk who set the prices on campers must be on drugs.
10k alone in wheels/supsension, that's madness!
but as if a regular vw campervan isn't expensive enough..
You can buy a moterhone with that money
Makes the California look like a bargain
It does as I’ve posted I’ve a fully loaded 2018 T6, every single box ticked and I paid £70k or here in Switzerland CHF 82k
Great review from you guys. Nice camper but I’m struggling to see where the justification for a £90 grand price tag and whether those luxury items of air suspension is worth it. I think the VW Cali Coast wins over this.👍
I love your video guys you must one day visit this place annecy in france is beautiful and is no far from Geneva Suisse
90k!! I wouldn't pay that, if I did for that money it would have to have hot water, much more battery capacity and more solar!
It's a nice van but nothing special over other converters tbh
Thanks for showing us though 😎👍🏼
Does it come with £50k in the glove box
Great vlog as always!
Nice van , never in the reign of pigs pudding is it worth £90k though & to be perfectly honest I don't see anything that special on it to warrant such a hefty price tag!!!!
Presumably hefty chunk of that is the van itself. They seem to be circa £40k on their own. Which is still mad for a van.
@@smithp573 i agree 👍 status1 campers in Leeds are exceptional high spec T6.1 very high spec conversion £65k ,still a lot of money don't get me wrong , their vans are brilliant 👌
If that’s their best conversion I’d hate to see the cheaper ones 🤦♂️
£90k...I am absolutely speechless.
Nice van..... but tbh for the price I can get a brand new fully kitted out latest gen Cali ocean and still have a dozen £K in the bank to fund a trip around whichever country we're allowed to visit.
Love the van but those wheels are hideous!
Thank heavens, I thought it might just be me.
@@smithp573 no friend it wasn’t just you...tbh in not in love with the paint job either.....
The price is hideous, too!
It always makes me laugh when the chairs are pressed against the tailgate “plenty of storage back here”
The roof, wheels and suspension must account for 25k of the 90k. 35k for the base van. So 30k for the rest of the conversion is a bit steep!
Makes the Cali Ocean look good value.....
90k Lol, I had to check the calendar to make sure I hadn't been in a time warp and it was April 1st.
And a blue tudor pelagos too! Very nice.
Hello, is there a tv point on board.
Thx for another great video what exactly is ECO about the van?
Another excellent review, thanks guys.😁
I see we have another similar passion. Watches! Spotted that Tudor in a few videos recently and also the G Shock!
Well spotted 😬
Brilliant my poor husband really wants one though for him it would have to be automatic 🥂💫🐕
I suppose they are gauging what people think of the price. I would expect hot water for £90k too.
Bonkers clickbait price of course but that's what happens when you tick every box. Nice internal furniture and other design touches. Great for a demo van for them. Interesting video - Thanks guys! I'd suggest that gas and water connection unit on the bottom might not last long before it's whacked by a kerb etc
Ecowagon and vw in the same sentence! Dieselgate. Nice vid though
Awesome video guys. I'm a huge VW fan... but 90k, I'm.sorry they are just taking the wee wee... thats an insult of a price... be interested to see how many they sell... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just bought a lovely T5 conversion for £14.5K - feels like I've won the lottery. Now what will I spend my £75.5K on?
VB air is awesome I have it on my t5
Nice Van wish I could afford one good luck with the impending new family member
The price aside, great informative review. For that price though I would go for a proper ‘eco-wagon’ and get a Crafter-E and get a full conversion
I'm going nuts trying to figure out the baseball shirt graphic. Cake batter? Cloud ball bats?...
Check out Johnny Cupcakes
Love the van but not the price! Thanks for showing it to us, also awesome review as usual.
Looks nice, but at £90k you’re looking at Crafter/Sprinter based van with hot water, and wetroom.
Too many bells and whistles for me, wouldn’t pay more than £60-65k for a Transporter conversion....
£50K gets a genuine VW
Actually prefer conversions over a California
No electric sliding door? Or tailgate?
Wow very slick
Wow £90k without hot water? Another great review probably the best conversion I have seen purely for the fact the bed is on runners and therefore so much more practical. Underslung gas great but it is a pity all the filling is at such a low level. Topping water up on a muddy field .....nice. Must admit I would of thought for the price it would of been 4 motion. Alloys etc and such boy racer additions don't rock my boat bit old for that.
Hi Peter, Thanks for your comment. When filling the water you can raise the suspension for ease.
Incredible...... who in their right mind would buy this? Total snobbery........ it’s a van for god sake. No space, no proper toilet, no proper shower. I despair 😌
Yer but it's got a 'lectric pop top. :-)
I thought this was a ridiculous price... Then I watched Andrew Dittons vlog on the Morelo 😂
You could stay in a nice hotel every weekend for about 20 years for the price of this 😂
very nice van you could of been one of the 1st to show it on the wondering birds channel as they asking people to send inn vlogs of there vans
You can buy a lightly used Hymer B class with Mercedes chassis for that!
Wow £90k ... looks nice enough but if I had that amount of money to spend on a van this would definitely not be the van I'd spend it on!
Thís makes the California Beach look like the bargain of the century!
PS : those wheels are HORRENDOUS!
It'll look nicely next to my T5 on a campsite with no shower or toilet
For 90k I'd want a chauffeur!
When is the show/expo on at the nec in Birmingham if you don't mind me asking
Usually October. But cancelled this year.
For 90k you could buy a kon tiki motorhome still have change for a wee car to tow!!
Great video guys
It's a lovely finish but struggling to see the additions that warrent the price tag. No hot water either. Hmmm.
No offense but your van looks just like the Nissan how is it different than just the attached awning?
For the price I would get a Transit or a Mercedes...
Do you get free plastic cups and plates for this price?
It’s a thing of beauty!
Good video but for £90k I would want one I can stand up in 😳 dread to think what the insurance would be!
Think how many nice hotels and villas you could stay in for £90,000! Plus there’d be no need to crouch.
Big long wide drawers 😀. Smashing!
Great video as usual but no bathroom. You would expect one at that price.
The best bits, air suspension aside, are taken straight from VW. Why not buy a Cali Coast and have air ride suspension fitted, a much sounder investment and any problems it’s straight back to VW.
Yeah sure because Vw always honour their warranty haha
Apart from the air suspension, I am bewildered I just see a bog standard VW camper van. Westvallia convertions come with a proper toilet, HOT WATER, shower, leather Upholstery. More importantly 8 or 9 pregant you probally could still climb into the upper bunk of a Westvallia conversion. .£90k without hot water a £40/50 porta potty, your having a laugh.
What an absolutely average overpriced van nothing special or custom for the price,
I've got 2 T5's which cost me a quarter of the price 2 convert and make this look "cheap n nasty
@@pauldavies7251 It just doesn't look expensive, in the paint work the look of the finish, I would have been expecting Cherrywood veneer paneling , if you see what I mean!
@@gordonjohnston684 in my opinion it is an awful van & conversion the whole point of a conversion instead of a california is for it 2 stand out this just looks extremely basic
@@pauldavies7251 If it was a £50-£60K conversion I suspect the comments would be entirely different, but apart from the the air suspension, There isn't anything that really stands out to make it special in my opinion for £90K no matter how well built they claim the conversion is built. I can't disagree with your comment.!
@@gordonjohnston684 ye I agree 30k 2much
Great video, but 90k and hot water is extra. The old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" springs to mind.
Amazing £££’s, is this supposed to be used or just sit and look at it incase you get it dirty inside or it gets a scratch on a draw or the sink gets wet.
Can’t see that is does anything more than my old hard used 21 year old T4 California does, it’s worn but everything still works, let’s see how this one looks in 20+ years especially as it’s a modern VW disposable tin box, jazzed up with a lot of bling so it looks expensive.
I’m not knocking the converter, but really! is someone going to plonk down 90K for a small camper.
Nice but NOT £90 grand nice....
Any baby news yet....
We’re all hanging on tenterhooks here......
Good luck.......x
£90K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Though !!!! Lovely van mind !
oooh blue Tudor Pelagos.
I was expecting it to be an electric vehicle with the Eco branding.
Lovely video as always. :) But goodess me that price. Definitely got the COVID inflation thing going on.
Nice video, nice van, but £90K! Our Wellhouse van is just as nicely finished and was nearly £40K cheaper. I don't think so!!!
Think it will be a case of a fool and their money if this sells at that price. Yikes, it’s more than a Grand Cali and you get a bathroom in that for a little less money. Apart from the cost in comparison to a genuine Cali, it will never have the same residuals. They need to re-think their business model if they are serious about making a success in the conversion business. Great video as always 🍀🌺
We are booked for a year solid :)
I’ll be sticking with my Cali but good luck to you!
Buy your own, build your own. Buy a small house with the change!
Great film, love the van but not £90k worth.
Hysterical, but I'm sure someone would throw inheritance money at it. £90,000 if you'd worked for it is a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
Not meny chances to get bumps in the head there! Very nice vehicle! Fotball deflating soon?! Barbro Sweden
Thought this was going to be a Tesla conversion. That would have justified the price.
For this price I hope it comes with a full year subscription to campsites for free around your country lol
I wonder if this company hasn't made a mistake by adding all these options so in the end it totals 90k. It just makes it ludicrous, I just wouldn't go to them as I would think I was being ripped off. A vw camper really should be an entry level vehicle, it's small and in some instances that's great but no excuse to make it more expensive because of that. You can get a brand new mercedes sprinter based hymer, with all the luxury that brings including fixed bed, proper bathroom, dining area and a proper kitchen for less than this. VW campers are great, but you can't polish a turd
Nice conversion but 90K?? And only 150bhp? This is too little power for the weight. This is a nice product nicely reviewed but it’s minimum 20k too expensive. I’m driving a fully loaded VW California Ocean with 200bhp, 4 Motion, Differential for the rough stuff, Dyna Audio Surround Sound ( factory fitted ) , leather interior, Hill Decent Control, LED lights front and back, Reversing Camera and full parking assistance, 19 in black alloys, Dynamic Suspension ( Normal, Comfort and Sport ) DSG Auto, Lane Assistant and Full Cruise Control ( adaptive ) and Apple Car Play plus much more and i paid £70k ... it says Bulli on the side not Transporter and it’s beautifully illuminated getting in and out ( the Bulli insignia ) ... 90K for this converted Transporter - madness.
I love transporters, i ve got 1 and this van is stunning but 90 grand is just taking the piss. You could get a top of the range motor home for less than that.👎. Great video thou guys.
Nice van but sorry I cannot see 90k and be interesting how many people would spend 90k
So it this or a villa in spin 90k
How much????????
90k ! !!!
Not really seeing anything new on these conversions and what makes it “eco?”
I don't get why anyone would pay 90k for this, it doesn't really offer anything worth the price over cheaper vans with the same layout and for 90k you could buy a much bigger coach built campervan. But if people are buying them fair play to the builders.
Can’t understand why they call it ‘Eco’. For that price I’d expect an electric engine conversion.
Go & grab a Hillside Birchover much better value. Air suspension pah!
Get it done in Turkey for half price and better quality!
£90K & you have to take a cold shower?
35k more than a nice spec California 😳😳
Doing my own conversion now and gathering ideas but this price is ridiculous the finish is good but not £90k attention to detail in poor. Sorry.
The profit margin must be massive, greed springs to mind , great video though as always .
Lottery money. !
