  • How luxury motorhomes are made! A walk through the Morelo motorhome factory in Schlüsselfeld, Bavaria showing how these luxury vehicles are made. Starting off with the Morelo models we see the furniture construction workshop before moving onto the vehicle assembly and the place where the walls are assembled seeing the EUR1m press in the process.
    The film was made spontaneously without previous preparation so it needs to be seen as an amateur film (which it is)!
    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 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.

    The heat exchanger is a particularly good idea for winter driving, clever. Underfloor heating even in the cab as well wow! Seperate circuits for power I would imagine results in a lot of plug sockets!!! Just need a lottery win....

    The quality of European RV's is remarkable when compared to our American RV's. The pace of construction is determined by craftsmanship. Here in America it is predicated by volume. "Frantic" best describes U.S. RV construction. Thanks for the insight Alan

    Agree with others that it is another great video, thanks Alan. I was so surprised to see so many Class As under construction. I thought that Class As would be very, very rare in Europe and the UK.

    @AW4WAL 6 лет назад +1

    This is a very interesting video but it could have been so much more, if only you had a remote mic and a wide angle camera lens.

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  6 лет назад

      At popular request I bought a wide angle lens and it turned out to be a disaster. I hope you won't be complaining at the lack of stabilisation and film quality from the films that I made with my new Sony a6000! I will get a mic but as this was done off the cuff it would not have been used I suppose. A pity as it did turn out to be so much better than I had hoped!

    I would like to see more Voids on the building of RVs in the EU.
    Is the pay workers that build RVs in the EU receive about the same that other workers receive in the EU? When will have more Voids on work be done on your RV?

    • @VanlifewithAlan
      @VanlifewithAlan  6 лет назад

      Unfortunately there will not be more videos from manufacturers as so far all have said that they don't want photographs inside the plant - which I understand. Workers pay is now probably higher than in other sectors because of the demand - the problem now is that there is a shortage of carpenters, electricians etc. in Europe. We have not done much on my van since the last video was posted as we have concentrated on the electrics but I will post some inside videos so you can see what it looks like now!

    "One of the cars going to Norway,UK,etc." Typical salesman....say anything to sell an RV,Car,Home. So ,it's safe to say it will leak,rot, and wither away as any other RV manufacturer on any of the 7 Continents..........questionable R&D(fast manufacturing) to make as many possible.
