Six metre Mercedes camper van with rear bathroom

  • This is the Corona from CS Reisemobile, a Mercedes camper van with rear bathroom. The rear bathroom in a six metre long but three metre high type conversion owes its origins to at least the 1980s. Nonetheless in this guise, it looks fresh and practical - and of course as the van is so small it is easy to find parking!
    See more in the video!
    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, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg and 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.

    It's a bit of a shame that there is no extractor fan in the shower compartment of the first van. Also, I think some covering should be over the house battery.

    Great vans on the Mercedes chases bases some with two beds, others with huge garages for bikes and storage...really nice options. I like the drop down bed but would be concerned about how long the gas struts lasted for before breaking, that in mind I think the bunk bed is great for two friends heading off somewhere. So many options .. its not so easy to choose on the one!

      I took an interest in the DeLorean sports car and the door struts on that gave out really quickly on the first models - so much so that Mr DeLorean himself once got stuck inside!

    The length is 593 cm and width 200 cm, but the Hymer Exis-T is 599 cm by 222 cm and looks hugely more roomy to me even with permanent twin beds. The Hymer also has a good sized garage. I think the motorhome has a big advantage over the converted van in having vertical sides. I don't know what the price difference is. However in general when I compare motorhome to van conversion I find the motorhome is usually well ahead in the factors that interest me.

    I've been away for a bit. Great to see you using a gimbal. Shots are nicer! Next you need a lavalier mic to minimize external sounds and focus on your voice. Great channel. Wish we had half as many vans a you do across the pond!

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  5 лет назад

      I have been to a couple of places to get a microphone but have not yet found anything suitable!

    • @JohnMFlores
      @JohnMFlores 5 лет назад

      If your camera has a mic jack,@@VanlifewithAlan, a cheap wired lavalier mic with a long enough cable to not pull on the gimbal will help a ton. If not, something like this might work - instamic.io/. You'd need to sync the audio on your computer but there are programs like PluralEyes that do that automagically.
      The key is to get the mic as close to your mouth as possible so that the volume of your voice is significantly higher than any other noises.

    So overall I think that it's a nice layout. My issue is the 1990s style euro interior decor along with the ridiculous asking price, maybe 70k euros as it sits (frankly 60-65k euros is probably more reasonable). Companies really need to stop using the Sprinter chassis until Mercedes lowers their margins on the van. A Sprinter is not a 40k USD base van. Mercedes could profitably build the Sprinter for about 30k USD. I would never buy a Ford van, so that pretty much leaves the Promaster/Ducato vans as the only viable option for efficient van builds (unless you just like to burn money on low Ford reliability or high upfront costs with the Mercedes).
