I think I might have watched this 5/6 times and I'm still amazed by it. I served my apprenticeship in Alexanders coachbuilders (building public service busses) and the innovation on this vehicle is beyond me. I wonder what version two would be like. Keep up the great reviews.
Thank you. The Venture S is pretty amazing, isn't it?
What a scoop Peter, I have been looking forward to a review of this van. Very different with lots of innovations. Nice to see designers thinking out of the usual white box. Love it, if only!
fully agree, so happy peter got this gig
I was thrilled to test it - and even more thrilled to be first!
Some of the most inventive interior design I've seen!
Yes, hard to believe it's a production vehicle from a major manufacturer
Me too, but they induced a new hobby: designing my own van conversion. When life-duties are done, we can always sell the house and live in it... 😊
Without question the best review of this vehicle, well actually any vehicle, Ive seen. If I were Hymer I would have a link to this on the website!
👍
Thank you, that's very kind. Hope you've subscribed!
@@MotorhomeCampervan nice to see you've sorted your mic issues from the Supersonic review!
Really great review and so good to get beyond the marketing pictures. That rear lounge looks much tighter on camera than in other pictures, and I wonder if it would really be great to use without the tailgate down. You didn't show the BBQ, perhaps it is an extra that wasn't fitted? This is a dream motorhome for when my kids leave home and it is just my wife and I seeing a bit of Europe. It gives me a few years to save up, or for the prices to drop a bit.Thanks for the great work, Peter.
The rear lounge isn't huge but feels much bigger with the tailgate fully open. Great, too, that you can just open the top half. No barbecue was provided.
Glad you enjoyed the review.
The big negative is the bed, having owned a T6 the noise in a pop top is unacceptable for me, we always slept downstairs. I’m wondering about it in the wind as well. Leaving that , it’s incredible.
The noise you are making when you "sleep" 😊 or ...
@@mikael3201 the outside noise level increases by a level of 3 or 4 sleeping up top. If I ever went back to a VW I would have a high top with insulation. I do get your humour though 😜
@@celtic-audiophile
Well I am used to sleep in a big air tent, so it is all relative, compared to a regular tent, I think these "walls" might be thicker.
Real overlanders wouldnt even look at it , that door looks insecure and the poptop would be an elephants dream to rub against, lovely van great looking but its all trousers, no braces…
Аnd it’s very bright
Buenos días muy buena presentación de la hymer venture muy bien estudiada el diseño de 10 motor mercedes una pasada pero el precio buffff para los ricos un saludo desde Madrid mil gracias por sus videos llevo mucho tiempo siguiendo su canal un saludo
Thank you. Great to hear that I have a loyal viewer in Madrid!
My wife and I are in the US, and we want one of these pretty badly. We work jobs that are hard to take proper vacations together and it would be nice to just have something like this for more spontaneous travel when we can get a 3-4 day weekend.
I would just get the Jayco Terrain. Just as capable and rear passenger seats.
@@BWT599 Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll check it out!
I remember originally there wasn't a retractable table, just a regular one that could be lowered. The space underneath the sofa was used to store a retractable barbecue grill, which I was hoping they could keep.
Really enjoyed this one Peter!
I really enjoyed filming it, too, as you probably guessed
This is a beautiful coach. I could flood you with comments of what I like.
My only "negative" comments are:
1. With the exception of the corner cutout, is the mattress a standard size that you can get standard linen?
2. I wish the rear lounge area could be transformed in a bigger, two adults bed. In a long trip, you will need sleep at the city in a stealthy way. It will be complicated or prohibited to sleep in a car.
For a couple is almost perfect. But it will be great a longer version for a family of 4. Meaning 2 additional seats in the rear with seatbelts, a the lounge to become a queen size bed.
Peter, you are the best MH journo and this was a great review.
It’s rare I can’t complain about a new MH but this is one here. Being picky, I would want more storage for off grid but it could be used with the box behind. I assume the finished vehicle will have mossie screens to the bedroom window. Then there is the price but you didn’t expect such an excellent new product to be half the price! 😂
Thank you, comments like yours are really appreciated!
It already has a mossie screen on the big bedroom window - sorry if that wasn't clear.
@@MotorhomeCampervan 🤣 you probably did and missed it then! I couldn’t see much more than being picky. It’s the innovation that is so unique and different.
It would be a dream motor home if it were a little longer and had a second bed downstairs. That rear bench would be perfect as a second bed and you could invite a few more friends to come in for tea too when you're at the camp site and it starts raining. As a kitesurfer, I also hope that the outside storage box is long enough to fit my surf board etc inside. In fact, this vehicle would be great for long trips with a few mates of the family so you'd need somewhere to store a few more kite bags and boards 😊
Looks like something I need travelling from the UK to lake como with the dogs as lots of hotels are becoming funny about large mastiffs scaring the other guests
The extras and options ended up being in abundance. For that price you could buy a tiny house on wheels with a better upstairs and still leave money in the piggy-bank for the towing vehicle. IMO few are those who would spend that sort of money would then go off-roading frequently. It is the kind of vehicle for those who want to show off their Icon piece of equipment. Peter did an excellent job as usual.
😂 Surely the concept of the Motorhome is... A house on wheels.
Compare the number of options here with the Carthago I've just tested and you'll see that there aren't many for a German 'van - and the expensive ones (wheels, paint) you could easily live without.
Glad you enjoyed the review!
very well presented , Thanks Peter . Storage for camp chairs and outside table seems to be a bit of a challenge but ai suppose the additional storage box for the rear door will solve that challenge ?
Yes, you can have a rear storage box and Hymer offer outdoor chairs that stow between the rear sofa and the tailgate. Thanks for your comments!
Now that would be fantastic if it was the long wheelbase in 4x4 setup 👍
What’s not to like? It would be nice to see accessories though. An insulated dark cover to wrap around the elevated sleeping area that also reduces outdoor noises. Slimline Cup holders that slide out from below table tops. Utilise the space in front of the steps by adding a storage box that can be pivoted around out of the way from the steps when using them, this would be an added valuable storage space solution. There is so much room for improvements, on an already clever and needed design. Well done Hymer!
Glad to see someone finally able to review this! Too bad about the price :(
We've worked really hard to get this test first!
What about our windy coast. At what wind speed does it have to come down? What about outdoor storage for ramps etc
I loved it when i saw the pictures at the first time and now your review.
Maybe other viewers also noticed it.
Where do i put: all my clouthes?
it's for off grid: where do i leave my spare parts, BBQ, reparation tools, outdoor boots?
I don't think clothes will be an issue but for the bulky stuff you'll probably want the rear storage box option
I absolutely love that top bedroom, but at the same time for 230k ish it needs to be blackout and acoustic insulation somehow.
It's such a new concept, I'm sure Hymer will improve those areas in time
As much as I'd like a funky 4x4 Hymer, those prices are quite something. Given the opportunity to spend that much I'd go for a ModernComfort and enjoy the extra space. Oh, and the £50k change.
This is always going to be a more niche choice, but it'll sell other Hymers by drawing attention to the brand
The price of this is an actual joke, especially as literally nothing comes as standard.
What an amazing vehicle using some of the ideas like the drop down back from 'House Trucks' from the seventies.
You forgot to mention when you open the draw to the right hand side of the kitchen this has a slot in top which adds a wing to increase work top area.
Will be interesting to see other manufacturers adapting their ideas from the old boring designs and bringing new innovation to the market.
When we see the amazing modern boat and aeroplane designs today which optimise space and make them look beautiful it's only then you realise how old fashioned 99% of motorhomes are.
Notice the curvacious look of the whole vehicle which makes it look very attractive. Having only designed one motorhome which had fold up a roof terrace for 20 people used the same principle. The idea being a woman's curvacious body, therefore the more curves and flowing lines you design into a vehicle the sexier it looks.
Looks like this principle has been applied throughout the Venture S at every possible opportunity with outstanding success so congratulations to all the designers who have worked tirelessly and achieved near perfection...
The slot-in worktop wasn't provided with this prototype, but I wholeheartedly agree - this is a fantastic piece of design. Let's hope it moves motorhome design forwards at lower price points.
If you were in the market with £200k, then RP Motorhomes, would come-out on top. This just looks top-heavy (Like an old UK Military Land-Rover Ambulance) that could easily roll, especially in high winds!
Personally, would rather buy a normal branded Camper Van (Say a Swift Carrera), spend £30k, with suspension, wheels, hydraulic self levelling, lithium & solar upgrades, wifi, additional lights with roof-rack as a sitting area on top & still have the perfect van for off-grid living. At least it would be around £100k with all upgrades (The other £100k saved, you could use as your travel budget!). Oh yes, that is what I've done!
The market for this does not make much sense, though as another viewer commentated, Hymer are betting on the possibility some out there will go & buy this thing! Good luck!
RP Motorhomes are only taking orders in October for 2025 vans! Amazing that there's so many people able to spend that much on a camper. I wish I could.
Not sure why it looks any more top heavy than any other 4x4 Sprinter - they're all tall.
Hymer has invested a huge amount to build this and the sales are already proving the demand, as well as resulting in extra sales of other Hymer models
I feel you are being disingenuous. Yes you save your money. Well done. Firstly you never knew you were saving that money and then whilst you are happy with what you have, this Hymer has genuinely created innovations I have not seen combined into one vehicle. Have you got the auto insulated roof? Have you got bespoke off grid vehicle with DG Glass, and built in protection bodywork? The table is one of the best ones I have seen in a MH. The money is in the detail, technology and hymer quality that I can’t quite imagine any Swift quality regardless of spending the upgrades can never get anywhere near that product. End of…you are happy and saved 100k you reckon but personally wouldn’t want the grief creating what you’ve got when this hymer is done and finished.
200k for that keep it
We love it, i just wish i was richer (laughing) great review Peter
Me too. Such an interesting 'van. Pity I haven't got £200k...
Simple love it .....
WANT! Great review.
Thank you!
Would you take this over the RP Rebellion? The top bedroom isn't storm proof and there's not a lot of storage. It's rear decking with 'roof' is a real winner. But the Rebellion is more realistic for me, especially if we're talking 'off grid'. Great review, as always.
RP Rebellion for me every time!
Really hard decision. Both have shedloads of appeal - and I can't afford either!!!
Our RP2 is on order. I can't see this one lasting long. Lots of plastic and it doesn't look comfortable. Not to mention ££
I really like the Rebellion, too, but this also has some great features, so it's really hard to choose. 'Luckily', the price tags spare me from having to make that decision...
Awesome video man
Thank you. Hope you've subscribed!
Looks awesome! A slightly more affordable Earth Roamer 🙂 Only two seats though?
This is looking like my future home
Wow what a great review Peter or should I say Mr Clarkson. I have loved this vehicle since I first saw it , it reminds me a little of a Unimog. I would have one in a heart beat but that 200k is my retirement fund to go touring in our CV40 when it finally arrives. Is there any ventilation in the roof tent other than the panoramic door? Cheers K.
If I had the money (and only needed two seatbelts), this would be very tempting for me, too. What an amazing vehicle.
In the roof there's that huge flyscreen vent at the end of the bed (open as much or as little as you want) and a small rooflight up front
you are the best Peter
Thank you. Very kind!
These Adventurer type van's seem to be getting more popular with the younger generation ( could be mummy and daddy's penny's). It's certainly a well thought out van I do like the drop down deck area turns it into a proper Gin Palace watching the sun go down 😊
And congratulations on your scoop peter being the first journalist to test this beauty out.
200K quid.
How many mummys and daddys can afford that?
@Mastakilla91 there are plenty very rich mummy's and daddy's that can afford these toy's around the world for their offspring plus I stated Could be.
Thank you.
Could be people buying this instead of a house maybe, or selling the house, rather than rich parents?
Your incredulity that young people exist who possess better financial acumen than you, is only surpassed by your inability to understand possessives.
@Marshmellafella for your information I retired at 60 with no private pension and no state pension and spend approximately £2/3 thousand a month travelling and enjoying life and could carry on doing for the next 25+year's.
Very very nice. 20-30 cm long for down bed and desk.
Hi great review. In the original version I thought the lounge wasn't convertible to a bed but I guess it makes more sense to build in bad weather proofing. One of their designers should go mad and rethink a four berth version.
Would love to see a 4-berth version! Then I'd have to start saving...
Just as easy as that: buy 2
Too expensive and no storage, no room for sup board, kayak, bbq, outside table, not even room for a box of dirty kit. Needs more work on the practicality or buy it as a gin palace only.
Kayak or surfboard on the roof, storage box on the rear rails. Remember it's only 6.5m long
Optional extras! For that price I would want the standard equipment to be top quality. A nice idea but far too little realistic storage for more than a weekend.
like the tailgate. would be available as an option to European vans. know that in the USA there were many alternatives for tailgates etc. for vans.
Naturally the first journalist, hymer know where to find the star of this industry :)
Thank you. That's very kind
Good review of a concept. In reality is it really worth almost 3 times (3 vans) of a not too dissimilar practicable panel camper van though? Only 2 passenger seats as well yet pos 4 berth ? Like the drop down back idea my better half would get the seat though ! Thanks R 😅
I'm not sure about three times, remember that this is a 4x4 Merc - twice? Yes, it's expensive but the investment from Hymer must have been HUGE to get this into production.
The prototype first shown a few years back had a pull out kitchen/BBQ hidden behind the pull out table. Don't think they should've deleted that outdoor kitchen. Regarding the stairway to the master bedroom, I don't know about that. Is that really a clever use of interior space? A standard ladder would work just fine. I even think they should consider doing a 1 story version, without the loft but with a lifting bed above the lounge. Ditching the loft would free up extra height inside, so that the lounge is usable. I would prefer that over the flip top.
Most folk don't like ladders - motorhome buyers are often 50+. Yes, I think a version without the lifting roof could work, but then would it be too much like other motorhomes?
That’s a very expensive tent 🏕️ to sleep in.
Awesome “Machine” 👏😍😍😍😎 Hymer well done 👍
Thank you 😁
I am trying to find Hymer in Canada and it all models are in Canada, with the goal of trying to get one to the US!
Could you do a review of the Ford Nugget Plus, but the European version with the hard top please Peter?
Have you watched my Nugget Plus review? ruclips.net/video/oiRYuiPG4bw/видео.html
Sadly, we don't get the high-top version in the UK, but I think the roof and second sliding door are the only real differences.
peter may I ask has the rear lounge got blinds I saw rails so will assume perhaps it has but your not showcasing them because of pre production considerations,lovely camper.
Yes, there are blinds. Just ran out of time to show everything!
thankyou peter appreciate it.
Love it!!!!! 🥰
Not too keen on the price though😱
Fair enough!
Interesting that I'm europe the class B vans are sold for much less. Having attended the European RV show i was shocked that prices were so much better.
wide angle camera would have been better imho but great review 😀
Nice looking Hymer but the lack of storage, the pop top and obviously the price is a no no from me. Excellent review by Peter though 😊
Maybe an ML-T Crossover instead then?
Glad you liked the review
Cold room tests are done to see if the camper van meets the standard for harsh winter conditions. The standard is called DIN/SS-EN 1646-1 and stipulates that a mobile home needs to be heated from -15°C to 20°C in less than four hours.
Some heat up much faster than that, some are (I understand) not physically tested but only 'calculated' to pass and many have uneven heat distribution despite the standard.
I This van is amazing..
Yes, it's very special - hence the Motorhome of the Year title
Saw this concept about 5 years ago... Having it at almost 200k I gotta see who will actually take it off road excluding the basic flat terrain Glamping families. Comparing this to the earth roamer if I'm paying for it I might as well go big or go home. Earth roamer wins my heart
As I say in the video, the original concept appeared in September 2019. I can see it being used where standard motorhomes can't go, to inaccessible beaches in the Med' for example.
The Earthroamer looks impressive but also rather too big for UK roads!
Very good review. Hope they upgrade the kitchen - it's sorely lacking for this price range.
Thank you, hope you've subscribed to the channel!
Re the kitchen, that's where German priorities are different to UK ones
Yes, but if they want to sell in UK market they might want to have a think about that...
I preferred the other Mercedes 4x4 that you took on that off road coarse I'm not a fan of those elevating roofs. That said it's an awesome van albeit a tad expensive!
This isn't like other elevating roofs, with its double skin, pneumatic operation, etc.
Great Van! Is it possible to bring this to the states?
Maybe ask your nearest Erwin Hymer agent if there are any plans?
This is the van equivalent to a Range Rover Sport. Owners won't do anything more radical than damp grass but love
Basking in the reflected ruffty tuffty glory.
Lording it looking down on the plebs from a high.
Like the RR the best feature is the tailgate.
See Alan Heath for a less breathless review.
Alan Heath hasn't tested the Venture S...
No external kitchen with grill? It was a feature in the prototype.
Enjoy
Hi Peter!
What a pity you didn't show how the bottom bed was assembled!
Just lower the table and move the cushions. It's so simple and I always have to be conscious of not making the video too long!
There's lots to love about this van, but some gaps too, and the ridiculous price to get that paint colour just annoys me!
Great review though, Peter, congratulations on the scoop!
Amazing ....but we know that in the UK the steering wheel is on the right. It would be great for passenger safety to have a Hymer model with a left-hand door.
You can have a RHD Venture S but I'm not sure it matters a jot where the habitation door is, especially if you have 2 cab doors. If you take your UK motorhome abroad it's the same (non) issue.
I would love to see one on PORTAL AXLES :-) ♥♥♥♥
Will the Hymer Venture S be offered in the USA? Thanks
I don't think so yet, but talk to Hymer in the US and see if they can give you an answer
Mad expensive though.
Really cool idea.
Agreed - very cool but certainly not cheap.
Keep in mind: you say it's very stable and no rattles, but wait until you load it up to travel. It will sway and rattle like any loaded RV. Nonetheless it's an amazing design and I'd luv to have one in a couple years.
It was loaded up for travel, albeit just for me. You need to pack plates etc tightly so they don't rattle and keep anything heavy low down, so as not to impair weight distribution.
Its a beautiful unit. The only down side is the Gross Maximum Vehicle Price.
It‘s such a lovely RV. But in none of the videos about this amazing camper the storage of the Camping Chairs and - table is shown.
The outdoor table and chairs weren't provided with our test vehicle, so we couldn't show them
There's lots similar to this in Australia.A beautiful motor home
Really?? With the roof and sundeck? If there really are motorhomes this innovative in Australia I'd love to know more. Email me at MMM
Homer,dropped,out of the CANADA/USA MARKET,YEARS AGO A friend drove a HYMER.2.0,,I LIKED IT,,some,1.0 were for rent in HAWAII.,I saw a few used ones for sale here in aUSA.
…..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hymer is owned by Thor. In 2020 it announced plans to sell European-designed models in the USA from a base in Bristol, Indiana. I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the current position
Truly spectacular. If you'll just excuse me, I'm off to buy a lottery ticket…
Good plan, Michael. If it's the Euromillions jackpot can you get one for me, too?
@@MotorhomeCampervan 😄
A proper expedition van would drop the gas and cassette toilet and use the saved space for additional lithium so the cooker can be induction. After all how do you find propane or butane in the depths of Africa or South America. And instead of the cassette toilet the latest compost toilet. If these were in the setup we’d seriously consider it for our next adventures!
Maybe a bespoke build then? Have you seen our RP Rebellion video - that vehicle is now available with a composting toilet and all-electric cooking
ruclips.net/video/HDUqQFLZCJI/видео.html
@@MotorhomeCampervan yes we contacted RP and they have confirmed this - now on our shortlist of expedition vehicle builders!
As much as I love interior design, I'm unsure about the pop-up top. I have spent many nights in 4x4 campervans in the mountains with high winds blowing so much I thought the car would take off, with the whole car shaking like crazy. I don't know what are their specifications for max wind deployment for the top. I would be worried be in it in a windstorm. 320Ah lithium is also on the small side these days. With the power draws most people have, and with the small solar on this van, this will be empty very quickly. No world about insulations of water tanks, batteries heating, etc.
Both water tanks are inboard, so fully winterised
What a brilliant brilliant van and if someone could Un-Hymerize it and do it on a Fiat Ducato for £100K less with a lesser manufacturers badge I think they would sell a bus load, as a 7.5 meter A class owner I would consider this very seriously in the future
Have you looked at the Bürstner Lyseo Gallery?
A rodasuplente está onde?
El diseño es una pasada, pero por el precio tan elevado tiene varios defectos bastante graves:
- La tracción 4x4 permanente eleva mucho el consumo.
- No tiene bloqueo del diferencial o reductora, por lo que el 4xx4 es limitado.
- Podrían haber puesto cocina diesel para que fuera más autónoma en lugar de gas.
- En lugar de techo elevable, habría puesto una cama elevable encima del salón para proteger el sueño del ruido exterior, y de paso habría ampliado esa zona.
- Tiene algunos defectos más, pero no son tan graves.
I agree - it's pricey but incredible! One thing, though, these 4x4 Sprinters are much more capable off-road than you'd expect
Thanks very nice. But, no microwave???
You'll hardly ever see a microwave in a German 'van. They are power-hungry and so not much use unless you're on hook-up (or you upgrade with powerful lithium batteries and an inverter)
Why not a longer version?
Probably because that would limit its departure angles, etc, off road
For that kind of money I'd expect all the extras to come as standard, if I had the money I'd go for the rebellion by RP, a little bit longer but more space, with all the extras, more water storage, canopy, self levelling, AC, washing machine etc......
The Rebellion is superb. I like the smaller Rebel, too!
Where do i put a order with / want my name on a list please
I'm sure your local Hymer dealer will be pleased to take an order. Delivery mid 2024, I think
Hopefully some other converters take some inspiration from this because it's so far out if reach to mere mortals.
Some of the ideas may filter down into other Erwin Hymer Group vehicles. There's already the Bürstner Lyseo Gallery at around half the cost.
Very nice, price?
£230k
Im surprised its not a harden shell youd think that it could be on lift system use the soft air bag material for insulation but youd be able to use during windy days cause i cant see you using this during windy days..
Super cool, but no real storage space
Hi! Could you drive that on a car license? Is it 3.5 tonnes or less?
No, it's 4,100kg GVW, so you need a C1 licence currently
want one
Me too!
I was just getting my cheque book out but then I found out that it only has 2 belted seats.
Maybe a Hymer ML-T Crossover then? Still 4x4, but cheaper and four seatbelts
Very nice van, but best part of 200k and you don’t even get an awning. Vastly over priced versus other offerings, the extras are silly money. £7k for a paint job😂 But, I’m sure there will be plenty waiting with their wallets…
It did have an awning. Even so way outside my pay grade.
@@xhogun8578 not as standard, it’s another extra😳
@@Zippy0George0Bungle oh I didn't catch that Ican't afford the basic price so it's not something that I am going to loose sleep over 😂
Very few 'vans have an awning as standard. Look at other 4x4 models and you'll see that the price isn't crazy - just think what Hymer has spent to put this into production
I'm pretty sure when I ran through the configurator last year the blue paint was £15k so a bargain at £7k 😆😆
I've noticed they mention solar panels and lithium batteries but never say how long all this power will last off grid let's say you only cook twice a day and leave your fridge on all the time isn't there at least a rough estimate to how many hours you have
Hard to put figures on it. How sunny is it for the solar? How hot, for the fridge to work against? What are you cooking, and how long for? Here, you should be able to have a few days off grid. You usually run out of toilet capacity before you run out of 12V power
@@MotorhomeCampervan so basically when it's sunny for a few days and then cold for a few days try each weather's in your garden and try both extremes of weather and get an estimation
I'm sure its brilliant to someone, but i just don't think its very suited to the UK market 😊
Because of the kitchen? Surely, the rear lounge is just what UK buyers love?
@@MotorhomeCampervan no i meant because its a big off roader, and we can't exactly just go off road because we feel like it, as the UK mostly private land. You'll just end up using it the roads, which you can do in any panel van. 👍
A handrail for the stairs would be useful,going up and down the stairs...
I'll never be able to afford it but I love dreaming lol
Me too!
Is the steering wheel a £1,710 option? 😂
👍👍👍
From the outside. It looks like an Ice cream van. Who buys things like that ?
They must have very posh ice cream vans where you live!
Nice ven, nice decorated in the ven, nice toilet, but where is hand pusher in toilet? How the Muslim people used in cumod? Where is tv hanker & tv? Where is wifi rowdier or wifi deshantina/satellites deshwer? Please tell me!!
turkish subtitle please
Very nice, Very niche, and very expensive.
All of the above, yes, but so innovative, too!
I had a look at the configurator and I think as demo'd here it is £217750. Bargain.
£218,740 as tested. They'll sell more than they can make...
