🤣👍🏼 yes I clocked that as well - I suppose anyone with that sort of money buying, simply pays those extras because it’s fitted and set-up with factory technicians and no hassle. You can leave out all the toys and then have to have the right MH technicians to connect everything. Similar additional costs for Solar panels and additional lithium batteries etc.
Another great video Peter, but...as a resident of Dusseldorf I highly recommend you wear a disguise at the next big show ;) Killerpitch is almost sacred here!!!
Great review Pete. Mind you, if you think that you have some blind spots on that one, or that you have the long nose, try driving a Kenworth 909 or a WesternStar...now they have blind spots lol
Sorry if that was confusing. 1.2m wide refers to width of the garage as you look at it from the side of the 'van. Length of the garage is, of course, around 2.2m (full width of the vehicle)
@@peterv3642 Your animation needs changing then, the arrows clearly show the width of the van, not the width of the opening. Other than that, another brilliant review :D
Great review. But I think many of the options should be standard at that level. I mean paying for alloy wheels 🤷I'd like to see auto leveling and air suspension and a dishwasher as options. Just my 2 cents. But thanks again 👍
Thanks for your comments. I'm afraid the long list of extras is the German way of doing things, so you spec what you want and not what you don't want. If you want a really, really comprehensive spec, look out for our review of the Coachman Imperial that's coming very soon. Few European 'vans have a dishwasher but this one does - ruclips.net/video/6Qs6r_caNHE/видео.html
Nice review Pete. Not for me this one. If I was in the market for an 8m+ tag axle fully loaded A Class, I'd be on the the hunt for a Rapido and keep 45k in the bank.
who needs a house? 😉 i wasn't clear whether they will be offering this with a drop down bed at the other end? for this size and this amount of money whilst this is a luxury two birth it almost seems crazy not to have that option. plus i would want an electric option for the head rest in the bed to angle rather than fumbling around for a strap ... i mean, if we are going to luxury lets not stop just that little bit short. 😉
Would love to review the new Flair but there is very limited UK availability. If we get a chance, though, we'll certainly try one of the latest N+B 'vans - always impressive! Did you see our Düsseldorf show review?
Expensive upgrades lol, TV $1600 pounds, does that include lift motor or just tv? I know those tv are very cheap here where we are. If it includes lift motor etc, then I can understand the price.😂
These premium German brands know how to charge but the price of the telly does include the electric rising bracket, which is rather neat. Compare it with what premium car makers will charge for special paint and it's a bargain!
@@MotorhomeCampervan No, I could not because there is no air suspension for Sprinter and there are two different vendors for Ducato, so I really do not see the advantage of driving a Mercedes based camper, when one has to enjoy the suspension made for cargo. And it is always Mercedes as a base vehicle being described as a better choice and for what? Because it has a touch screen that js not a first choice by many.
The price of some of the options are ridiculous. £1600 for a 40inch TV, £1700 for a tow bar & £1500 for a coffee machine.

That's rather typical of these high-end German 'vans, I'm afraid. At least the TV includes the powered bracket to raise it!
If you can afford this machine, you really don’t car about pricing of the extras.
@@wobby1516 Indeed. why would you spend time trying to replace after market parts when it’s fitted by the professionals and working order.
Look well put together but the front end looks horrible compared to the niesmann bischoff.
Interior looks dated as well compared to other competitors.
Peter is THE best reviewer, but a shout out is also required for the editing and camerawork on these videos. Excellent.
Thank you. Nice to know the work is appreciated!
Whatever.
@@greenjacket66 What do you mean? Whatever.
very good point .... absolutely agree.
The windscreen wipers @1:22 - quite possibly the best comment I've heard on any review. Tremendous 👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful motorhome and very nice to live in full time
Yes, definitely one you could live in
She is a beauty, with 8.78 meters, it is also a LWB!
Another great video Peter, but...as a resident of Dusseldorf I highly recommend you wear a disguise at the next big show ;) Killerpitch is almost sacred here!!!
😂😂😂
Maybe I'll have to shave before the Caravan Salon then...
Really enjoyed the video Peter. Thank you. Lovely van.
Thank you for your comment
Pure luxury on wheels!
Coffee maker, enhanced graphics loads of frippery but what about semi air and self levelling.
Add VB air suspension and you'll get auto-levelling, too
Lovely van but that lounge area just feels way too busy and cramped.
Great review Pete. Mind you, if you think that you have some blind spots on that one, or that you have the long nose, try driving a Kenworth 909 or a WesternStar...now they have blind spots lol
Very nice coach! Dining table should fold though .... Cheers
Totally agree!
A metre high garage, but only 1.2 metres wide. The motorhome is 2.2 metres wide, how thick are those doors?
Sorry if that was confusing. 1.2m wide refers to width of the garage as you look at it from the side of the 'van. Length of the garage is, of course, around 2.2m (full width of the vehicle)
@@peterv3642 Your animation needs changing then, the arrows clearly show the width of the van, not the width of the opening. Other than that, another brilliant review :D
The cost is absolutely crazy!
We've got a review of a £195,000 motorhome coming soon... Prices have gone up a lot in the past 12 months

I noticed the motorhome was on level blocks for a motorhome of this price i would expect automatic leveling.
That's available but it's an expensive option
Turning left at a junction might be an issue.
Great review as always Pete ! Lovely camper but similar to a Ferrari nice to look at but you wouldn’t want to own one .
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, but I love Ferraris (not modern ones, though)!
What would make this van perfect is if you could remove that fixed table, absolutely hate having a fixed table it massively restricts the area
I'm sure a Carthago dealer could modify it
Them crates are they made by Rolls Royce?? 1100 pound what is around 2500 AU dollars ( including fees )
How much is the towbar? and reversing camera? and the tyres, also how much is the slide out step
Nice review Pete. Not for me this one. If I was in the market for an 8m+ tag axle fully loaded A Class, I'd be on the the hunt for a Rapido and keep 45k in the bank.
The Knaus Live I 900 looks great value if you want a tag-axle A-class on a (relative) budget
who needs a house? 😉 i wasn't clear whether they will be offering this with a drop down bed at the other end? for this size and this amount of money whilst this is a luxury two birth it almost seems crazy not to have that option. plus i would want an electric option for the head rest in the bed to angle rather than fumbling around for a strap ... i mean, if we are going to luxury lets not stop just that little bit short. 😉
Yes, you can have a drop-down cab bed
Any idea where i can buy the blue crate system thats in the garage please
Bob's Garage System - it's available from motorhome dealer, Go European
Super cool
Yes it is. We're expecting to review something even better from Carthago soon, so didn't miss our latest videos!
@@MotorhomeCampervan what is the price for this one?
NICE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!!
Does the passenger door compromise the ridgity of the body, more flex or creeks maybe?
I don't think the cab door would make any noticeable difference
That would be $300,000 plus shipping in Australia.
Can you call travelworld motorhomes and do a review on a niesmann bischoff 🙏
Would love to review the new Flair but there is very limited UK availability. If we get a chance, though, we'll certainly try one of the latest N+B 'vans - always impressive! Did you see our Düsseldorf show review?
It could do with air suspension really to avoid the grounding issue.?
Yes, I'd certainly be tempted, if spending this sort of money. You could then raise the rear and have auto-levelling on site
Expensive upgrades lol, TV $1600 pounds, does that include lift motor or just tv? I know those tv are very cheap here where we are. If it includes lift motor etc, then I can understand the price.😂
Yes, it includes the bracket and motor
How much is the green bottle on top of the sink?
It matches the pringle advertising😉
No butler quarters?
Sorry, no!
👍👍👍
Looks good but....no lounge area..
No lounge area? Not the biggest, perhaps, but plenty for two people on tour
40" TV for 1680£?🙄
Is it at least 4K120Hz with HDR and VRR?🤔
It does include the electric raising bracket, which is probably the expensive bit as it'll be a low-volume part
A £600 tv for £1600. Some people are just so slap happy and ready to throw money away. And how much for the shelves in the back!!
These premium German brands know how to charge but the price of the telly does include the electric rising bracket, which is rather neat.
Compare it with what premium car makers will charge for special paint and it's a bargain!
600£?
There are 40"TV for 200£ if at 1080p.
For 600£ I would expect 4K HDR with VRR.Though probably not 120Hz.
And again no air suspension wirh Mercedes? Absolutely unacceptable in this price range.
You could have air suspension added, if you want it. Can't think of anything comparable that would have it as standard
@@MotorhomeCampervan No, I could not because there is no air suspension for Sprinter and there are two different vendors for Ducato, so I really do not see the advantage of driving a Mercedes based camper, when one has to enjoy the suspension made for cargo.

HOW MUCH!!!!
It'll be quite a lot more now, this was filmed a while ago...
😘❤️👍
1,500 for coffee is an insult
If both of you had a Costa or Starbucks once a day that would be £2,190 (assuming three quid a time)!! But, yes, I agree it's rather pricey...
The majority of the price will go on the invertor, decent ones aren't cheap.
Catargo ? Car-tha-go is how I would pronounce the name
No, sorry, it's German and there is no "th" sound in the German language
😱🥰
