New for 2023. Weird VW motorhome - campervan cross!

  • This unusual VW motorhome has the traditional VW campervan base - the VW Bulli. The motorhome part has been stuck on the end and is being produced by both Knaus and its 'budget' brand Weinsberg. The Weinsberg vehicle has some interesting innovations for those interested in a small footprint but as a Weinsberg model, I fear it will fall to pieces rather quickly. Apart from that, top marks as far as thinking outside of the box is concerned.

      It would be a bit unfair to call it a VW campervan Tim, but it does at least have better features than the aforementioned VW.

    Most negative review of yours I have watched. They look very good and innovative. Why are they reputed to be put together so badly?

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  Год назад +1

      I am not knocking innovation, only pointing out what is likely to happen based on past experience with the company. I am all for space saving and small vans, and above all, a shower and toilet in a vehicle. However I fear that based on experience it will not perform in real life.

    Let's face it, most of these campervans are the sum of their components. And despite this one being a bit unusual for the EU market but traditionally fitted it seems a quite reliable unit. It has ample living space in a tiny footprint and an always ready drop down bunk bed. The only part I don't like is the shower basin in thermoformed plastics notorious for cracking after a few years of service/cycles hot/cold as you put dynamic load on it.
    Weinsberg is despite everything a competent brand with production and engineering in house in the past afflicted with some assembly errors probably in less than optimal productions lines (some say foreign only), but it generally uses good components, offers good integration and the finishes are usually above average as is the case with this van: internal shelving on cupboards, solid bathroom lock, two dedicated taps with height adjusting shower head, drawers with soft close one fitted with flatware holder, the main CP has a comprehensive set of levels... tiny touches but it sure is good finishing.

      It is a bit difficult to be informative when there are those that do not want to be informed. If you had bothered listening to this, or anything else I have done, then you would know that I actively promote smaller vehicles.

Or perhaps you expect all reviews to be super positive? As for being prejudicial and rude as you claim, you will notice that there are thousands of RVs on this channel, and in most cases, the review is positive. In short, the one who is prejudicial and rude is you.
