this is what i have been looking for in a van for years
Tell no lies!!!
Tanks.good
Did u buy one?
Gosh, how big was the van you were looking in? 😂
Gotta make it bullet proof if not fully armoured for the upcoming Apocalypse . A turret with a machine gun up top would also come in handy .
Wow, I’ve never seen something so gorgeous.. I had watch this twice.. now this is a camper van 🚐👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Glad you enjoyed it
Many things stand out in this 4x4 van. By far the coolest is the back lift up window and garage door.
Without insect screens, you must be either blind or completely unaware of the extreme annoyance of mosquitos.
Absolutely ingenious design! It’s a first in the RV industry and truly is a versatile expedition vehicle. This Sprinter conversion is magnificent.
Amazing facilities available in this compact van. This is the best home vehicle in this size
This rv is perhaps the best design I've seen in a class b. Innovative and clever use of space. I especially like the garage area, rear door/hatch and the washing machine integration. Thank you for an excellent video.
Glad you like it!
This is by far one of the best van build designs i have ever seen. The rear door, and the added awning inclosure, the two seperate seatin areas, and so on. This layout is perfect for a family of 4 or just 2. Would love to see this van available in the states.
Glad you like it!
@@MotorhomeCampervan😊tel me the best engine for long term overland I m 69 I don’t whAnt problème and a good 10/12 years around Bob
I love this because you showed we can attach some tents in the awning and have an alternative outside shower.
I've been watching van conversions all day and this is perhaps the most impressive. I think it's the only 4x4 I've seen so far, and it's definitely the only one with a washing machine. Love the winged garage door - including the shower enclosure. I thought I was sold on the idea of a dedicated rear bed (as opposed to convertible seating), because I suspect one would tire of setting it up every evening. But the two singles would work in a pinch, and converting to full-size seemed quick and easy. I even liked the position and size of the TV. The 2nd fridge that can serve as a freezer is a great addition. Great lighting throughout.
Perhaps the only things I'd add would be a wooden rooftop deck (perhaps fold out to maximize space) and two hammock chairs suspended from the roof racks. Both of those options I've seen on the Van Life Builds channel. One of their conversions also had dual folding electric bikes secured in the garage, which I really liked as well.
I've seen many vans, and I must say it is definitely a great one. I love the garage. I'm a massage therapist and do outcalls, so having a washing machine for my dirt towels would be a god sent. The European and Asians are just better at designing small places. America is having to play catch up. However, I could never afford this one.
I would also swap the factory fuel tank for an S&B 47 gallon fuel tank.
52 gallons is barely enough for bathing, toilet, drinking, cooking, rinsing, water for brushing/face washing for 1 person while boondocking out in the wilderness/desert. The washing machine y itself would go through 52 gallons in no time. I think it would only be useful connected to city water at an RV park. But usually, RV parks have washing machines available anyway. A luxury for sure but for me not a priority. The priority is getting out deep into nature which this rig is very capable of doing. I would love it, minus the washing machine. There are smaller more portable washing machines available that will suffice for small loads like hand towels, underwear.
I need two of these in my life...NOW!! Amazing design and a washer??? WOW!!!!
Wow. Simply the best, brilliantly thought through and designed motorhome I've seen
If I ever bought a camper van I’d want something like this.
Excellent review (as per usual) of the best rugged motor home I have ever seen
Amazing conversion! State of the art!
This is a beautiful and clean work, guys. When you buy a 4x4 motorhome, you want it to be custom.
But in this case, I would take this car right away.
Everything is exactly where you expect it to be.
Congratulations to your designer. This is top notch work.
Kindest regards from Germany! )
Can you buy one as well,
Bitte,Danke shon.
Absolutely loved this one, the interior bathroom was a little underrated but I'm just nitpicking about that.
If this has good insulation then it must be one of the best on the market.
agree, all that upgrades and high end look and then seemed to skimp on the bathroom..
I don't agree. I really disliked interior. This 2022 where is Amazing? Did you like sink size?
Best van conversation on the market, what a beast
Luxury indeed. My favourite part is the size of the main bed and all the ventilation around it
Another good review Peter, of a very good and well designed van. If I won the lottery and money was no object, I would buy this van and tour the world in it as it seems capable enough. Brilliantly done!
Still waiting for my numbers, too. Iceland might be my first trip if I had one of these!
Unique RV Van design. Well sorted and planned for long comfortable trip off grid. Good Presentation 😎👍
Thanks! 👍
Wow 🤩 what a thing of beauty and practicality a beast on and off road. 👍🏻
Excellent.
May I suggest that this camper van’s next generation would have a roof hatch that opens from the inside onto a roof rack that can hold up two to four people. Must be a good platform for stargazing and a 360-degree view of the landscape.
Congratulations on a work well done.
Cheers!
We always know what we are going to get with you Peter, a great presentation. Thank you.
Glad you enjoy them!
Lovely machine, front beds the only real let down. Maybe expensive but the spec reflects that. RP really do some great stuff.
It's 130,000 pounds for the base price. However I'm not British but in America the Winnebago Revel is not as good and much smaller and is nearly 200,000 USD. I did some math and when I added most of the upgrades it's nearly the same price as the revel but way bigger and more luxurious.
Certainly one of the best, if not the best, van conversions I have seen. Very well thought out and appointed.
I don't think they can do better than that. among the thousands of videos I have seen it is certainly the most beautiful and functional of all
Nicely shot. Excellent spot on production.
Amazing you’ve done it again. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Amazing design; the best I’ve seen in a Class B, so far. 👍👏👏👏
Yes we agree
Beautiful😀 Best build I've seen so far - it was only a matter of time till those stupid doors in the back were converted to a tail gate or lift gate assembly...
I would get rid of the side slider too and go for a 30" aircraft style entry door...
I would up grade the electrical system a bit more - I would go 600 amp hours and at least 350 watts of solar on the roof...
Also, either a second alternator or a B2B so you can draw 30 amps - at least off the alternator to your house batteries...
Mercedes is the premier chassis and will continue to be going forward...
I definitely agree with the electrical systems since I feel like there should be more batteries and a better inverter. I also would like it if most of the systems were combined into one digital system. I feel like the sliding door is great and definitely dont need to be changed but this is just an opinion.
The back opening up is brilliant...
This camper van is stunning! Love the washing machine and would like to see how it works. It's a beauty and the beast - a beast from the outside, a beauty in the inside. I would love to own one and live in it full time - fed up with paying rent, who isn't? Thanks very much for a great review and for going through everything in detail. Now fingers crossed my lotto numbers come up.
bet you could buy a house for what this would cost. It's very, very nice...
Amazing built, beautiful, wow!
Brilliant…absolutely brilliant!
Cheers mate 🥂
Having lived in either vans or narrowboats since 1989 I can confirm that a second solar voltaic panel would definitely be needed especially with a 3 KW inverter hammering the battery capacity.
Remember that you've got 400Ah of lithium batteries here, though
@@MotorhomeCampervan he's right though my family had a canal boat for years and we had to get close to 1kw of solar to run the fridge and washing washing plus led lights...its ok during the summer when the sun is plentiful but in winter forget it. and we had much more battery power then this van currently has too.....you need 400 to 600 watts on the roof minimum
Yes ! Pls use the auto Leveling System in mud or wet grass lest see if your going to go anywhere when you leave 👍
Certainly the best I’ve seen so far !
Man, y'all across that Pond, sure have our US manufacturers/builders outclassed by miles. Drooling over this one!!
You're not the only one. We love it, too
This build is proper and thoughtfully executed. The seatbelt bed is clever. 16:44
Very nice presentation and like your new look and the, as always, very informative explanation.
What a fantastic camper it’s got everything!😁👍
This is by far the best camper van ever. There is nothing you would need as it has everything.
What about space?
How I wish. This is the best ive seen. I think my dog and i could live quite happily in this
Loan me one for Canada and i will blog it cross country to advertise here in NA
My dog and I would be very happy in an RP Rebellion, too
Ooh, me and my dog, too! We'd live in it most of the time!
My beagle and I would be very happy with this van, it’s a cut above the rest by far 🎉👏🏽🫶🏽
I love how they made it look so easy to install the " extra space" threading that wasn't as easy as it looks.
It looked to me almost like it was actually being removed, but the film was played in reverse.
To be honest.... If you're really using the 4x4 you'll never park in a place where you have the space to take that out. Only useful if you go from camping to camping.... So basically that's the most useless thing I've ever seen
@@3CulosGordos I guess it just gives you the choice for all situations.
@@andrewkitchenuk guess so... Still feels like a waste of money. I have a regular camper, not 4x4, and still haven't used that. But again I never go to places where I'm allowed to. I just assumed someone investing that amount of money on a 4x4 would be even less in those type of places
@@3CulosGordos The things like tent and outside shower curtain are all options if you want it. Personally I'm not the type of people who shower outside. My dog, maybe but not me.
Also the van base price for the rebellion 4 is like 130,000 pounds. It's definitely reasonable since this is more of an overlanding vehicle than an average class b.
Wow! I want this!
Perfect.
Thank you for such a wonderful through walk through.
I would love to be able to do more than dream.
Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 the best camper conversion
This is the campervan I want, after I make a few design modifications (more in-cab storage and not bed at the front).
This van is amazing 🤩
Really perfect. Best of I have ever seen.
Utter genius. What a fantastic piece of design. Amazing quality. That’s got more useable space than some A class vans.
Glad you like it!
Amazing design and finish
This will be my next home for this summer!
Awesome Off road van!!!
The design is flawless.
Love it to be six inches wider and the whole rear pops up with a deck that pulls out from the bottom of the van. One can dream.
+1. .. Man,, that rig rivals the custom Sprinters from Advanced RV in Ohio, USA. .. Think there's a new Gold Standard ... The rear Dutch door/upper window is spectacular and innovative... A Game Changer?
That's a really nice van.
Totally agree. It's fabulous
Wow, My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed
Finally,,,,someone thought about it from the USERS point of view!!!
Expedition vehicle? Lots of lovely toys to go wrong! Love it but totally OTT :)
A stunning build! If only they can do something better for the forward bunks.
It would also be nice to see MB producing a wide body sprinter so there could be better distributions in van builds... like having the bath at the rear alongside the bed.
Just get Atego chassis if you want that much room. More load capacity too.
Best intro ever ‼️
Oh, I love it, gotta have 1.
Wow very good layout
Agreed that bathroom could have better functionally and esthetically. May not be my favourite color overall but how awesome is this functionally. Definitely one of the best ever created so far for this size. Wonder how much is it..
You can change the colours, inside and out. It's £160k as shown
@@peterv3642 thanks Peter.. awesome indeed..
Perfect. James Bond would love this. 😂
Dear RP Motorhomes, I would be proud to represent your products in the United States. Kindest regards, Michael
I hope this happens.
Genius design!
The best camper van ever!
That's amazing. Best yet
It really is quite an amazing campervan.
Superb Desing and Craftsmanship.
Glad you like it!
I swear European Rv's is the best build best designed 👌
wow, thats amazing, could live in that.
Mercedes do a suspension upgrade kit for this van. with much higher clearance then already fitted plus there is a wheel arch modification too that allows much bigger wheels and tyres for much better off-road capability
After those excursions off road, one needs a power washer. Didn't see one.
So I'm not buying this van, no way.😜😝😅😮😀🤣
Brilliant presentation of a brilliant van👍🥰👏👍😍👏
I know it sounds dumb but I didn't hear if it has air ac ...and the the washer has a dryer combo I really do love this rv van
Great Van. Great advert ;)
You had me at spotlights.
Awesome Van
EarthRoamer competitor,but better because it keeps the original design & shape of the van👍🏽
That back door/ shower room is pretty good but I don't know how useful that tent attached to the side is. Seems like a lot of polava if you want to go anywhere. I also prefer a fixed bed.
Personally, I wouldn't have the safari room on the side but others will want the extra space. If you prefer, you could always leave the rear as a bedroom - either singles or a double
Impressive - like the kitchen - like the sleeproom - don‘t see the need for the tent ….. but anyway: great Van - excellent!
Best. Sesuai untuk tugasan ke operasi dan bancana di sabah malaysia. Good veri good
only if we could have that in the US, I would buy it right away
I like the storyteller beast, but I like this better (upgrading lithium batteries to at least 800 wh)
£160000.00 that's a lot of cash! over 210 thousand dollars! Lottery win required
@@neilkite 200000+ USD is for all the upgrades. The base price I'm pretty sure is around 130,000 pounds. For the rebellion 4. I still think this is definitely worth it because the Winnebago Revel and the storyteller beast is near 200,000 USD and it's about the price of a fully upgraded rebellion. Definitely worth buying rebellion.
A washing machine! Wish the same product is available in the U.S.
Many impressive elements. But it does seem cramped and claustrophobic. A lighter decor and color scheme would have been more airy. Long wheel base vans should be dual rear wheel for stability and true offroading. Making that bed day in day out would be too much. I still say a fixed bed is the way to go. I love that integrated gas/induction hob/stove top, you don’t see many of those. No mention of air conditioning. I don’t fancy traveling in the summer on just fans. But I suppose the UK travelers don’t need to worry as much about summer heat. Would have preferred to see an outward folding shower door for increased elbow room. That indoor shower looks super cramped. Love that coffee maker nook. All in all some very impressive design elements that can be adapted and perfected.
Excellent motor home.
We agree!
👀...AMAZING !!!!👏👏
Isn't it amazing, when you actually get paid to do a job that you truly love. Mine was the best and most humbling of all, it was having the privilege getting to know and transporting my clients to their respective day centres and for me me it's the only job I've ever had that I would've done free if I could've afforded it. Even when I was away on holiday I left my mobile so the relief driver could phone me if they got lost, they were then and remain now my best friends.
Yes, I don't miss my days in insurance (a long time ago)...
Great video and hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 l follow your videos
Hello to Puerto Rico. Do you have many campervans there? Love the Ferrari logo BTW
This van is certainly a masterpiece. I absolutely love it but I would change out and upgrade some stuff.
I don't feel like there is enough batteries for this van. Also I think they should also upgrade the inverter to a higher amp.
I also think that the roof should be more flat and have the roof racks replaced by the 2022 revel kind where there could be more storage.
It would be nice if most of the systems were integrated into one digital system where you can control the van with.
The garage looks too small to fit my mountain bike so I would remove the outside shower holder and raise the bed so there's more storage in the garage.
It can also have a front bumper with a winch and a reenforced rear bumper so the van does not get as damaged if you get hit.
I think those were the most important ones that I think should be upgraded and I hope the next version will have some of these stuff.
However it's still a great van. These are just minor issues that I think it has but overall still probably the most unique van on the market. Can't wait for the new model.
With such a long van I would have liked to see a better solution for the 3rd and 4th bed, especially the last one. couldn't imagine sleeping on that for a longer period of time. Otherwise looks great.
Maybe not a true 4 berth but a 2 berth. You don't want 4 people in that van that size anyway.
Nice vid, but still nobody talking about the
brand of said washing machine 🤦♀️. Wait, I saw it here on
YT channel:
Ryan and Sophie Sailing
Installing a WASHING MACHINE in our 40ft sailboat #87
I think it is a Daewoo but it's worth checking out Sophie's review.
Worked miracles this company for a small place and only a hand full of us creating them but you are right only the rich and mostly retired elderly buy these vans but like any business they aren't in it to lose money.
purely bespoke and 90% hand made with trade mark parts tonnes of man hours go into making parts for these vans was a pleasure working for em.
That's great to hear. Always seem to be a really nice firm
I need this in my life ASAP
Me, too!
its PERFECT !!!
I would like the dually style rear wheels and tires.
Wow just wow! I want this, come on lotto win 🤞
The only thing I could pick fault was, there’s no microwave, apart from that a stunning van 👍
A microwave is possible, too!
a kindred spirit.. love my microwave meals. i thought i would defo see one on this monster.
Definitely, a combination microwave wouldn’t take up much room and then no need for a cooker.
How the heck did they overlook a microwave? That’s a deal breaker.
@@ohroonoko I know... Madness.
