Tiny camper with shower + toilet. Randger R530

  • This tiny camper with shower and toilet is the Randger R530 which looks just like the equivalent camper from Karmann Mobil. This should not be a surprise as both companies are owned by Trigano. The Randger R530 uses the Ford Transit Custom which appears to be all the rage these days, presumably because of the success of Ford in producing this van in Covid times.
    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, Malibu, Pilote, Wild Ax, Vantage, Bresler, Tom's Fahrzeugtechnik, Morelo, Swift, Carado 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.

    I totally appreciate the commentators opinion on the need and design of toilets in camper vans. They are more important than a kitchen because eating out, or cooking outside is surely why campers are campers.

    • @VanlifewithAlan

      Quite right Hennes. A kitchen is a nice little extra but we need to get rid of food more frequently than we eat!

    These tiny car / vans wouldn’t be a problem if you only go to warm and sunny places and use the outdoors for your living area and the tent bed in the roof is warm enough. In a typical British climate, I can’t imagine 4 people staying inside the van for any length of time without going stir crazy.

    • @IronMountainx
      @IronMountainx 2 года назад +5

      100% correct, I have had 3 different campers in the last 40 yrs as well as motorhomes and caravans, always find a motorhome more practical than a camper especially in the UK

    These are really nice. I haven't seen these types of campers in the U.S. yet. The benefit of the pop-top is that it will fit in a typical residential garage; the high-roof campers will not.

      @davidchan9632 2 года назад

      They all look beautiful. They're cozy & look fun to travel in. If only I was rich I would get a bigger one w/ a little more space. I would design my own style. I.e. Not good to have a sink close to the burners. Most of all I wouldn't allow cooking in the vehicle. Just boil, steam, & microwave.

  • @basilcoriander470
    @basilcoriander470 2 года назад +2

    Wish this model is available in Canada. It's perfect for everyday drive, and campervan. It fits into a typical garage (height limit 2.1m) perfectly, is small/agile to drive and park in cities, and most importantly has a toilet/shower. Most small campervans I've seen would rather have a kitchen galley instead of a toilet/shower combo and I've always found it odd - I can easily set up a cooking station anywhere (i.e. in a park) but I can't do the same with toilet/shower. Of course this model has both - even better!

  • @themountainwanderer
    @themountainwanderer 2 года назад +1

    Pretty amazing. I agree with the notion that a toilet is important. People are dreaming of vanlife parking the rig anywhere they want without paying campground fees. It is getting so popular now with some free camping spots overrun. If everyone goes into the bushes... ugh.
    I would not want to cook in the kitchen inside unless necessary due to bad weather. You have to deal with the smells and splashes. Much better to bring a portable stove and folding table to set up outside. A sink is definitely nice to have though.
    There is such a variety in European vans, in the US we get none of that. You have to do very expensive conversions if you want to keep your mobile small enough to garage.

      That one seems nicer that the Malibu swivelling one: super complex.
      Another trick is if the builder vents the cassette area to the outside.. few realise that those cassettes, once inserted, have a permanently open vent on them... something Thetford should really address, it's a lazy design.

    They should sell these in the U.S. because U know how there was a 27 hour traffic jam on the I-95 into Washington if my husband had to do the same commute I would tell him to but a van like this rather than just a car and if a snow storm he can just camp on the road for the night.

    Too much emphasis on the toilet/shower for me. Makes all else seem too tight. I tried buying one new here in England this year.

      I think you are asking if I had EUR66,510 what campervan would I get with the money? I would get a high roof Mercedes and then build it myself although for that money I might not be able to complete it. Maybe in that case I would get an Affinity although that costs a bit more, although as they know me, they might give me a discount.
