  • I hope it is OK to call this a luxurious, small motorhome with rear washroom - after all it is 640cm in length which is quite short for a vehicle offering the finish that this one has. A very impressive RV with a rear washroom! There is a lot of room inside but next to nothing in the garage, so bikes would have to be carried on the back!
    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, 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, Mitsubishi, Woelcke 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.

    If I didn't really need a garage I would really like that layout. For me the bed over the cab makes sense when it is the only bed in the motorhome. It frees up so much space. The layout of that one is a bit like the older Hymers.

      That is rather difficult as getting the bed down is a job for two hands and one of the two I have is needed for the camera. I asked to take another person to Caravan Salon for this and I was refused.

      Alan Heath How about a look at the bed area “before” (pause the camera) and then show the “after” (with the bed down) it’s a win-win situation for customers who might pass up this opportunity because of the bed not being shown. Easy fix.

    The styling (exterior and cockpit) are exceptional much nicer than any US class C's but it always depends on what you need #1 = how many are you ? if you travel alone or with your companion then a large seating area will take less priority than lets say a.. BED ! lol its really nice though . great vid thank you !

    Uma verdadeira obra de arte de encher os olhos; tamanho ideal para uma família de até 4 (quatro) pessoas, fácil de estacionar por ser compacto. Não ocupa muito espaço uma "verdadeira pena" não estar a venda aqui no Brasil. Parabéns pelo maravilhoso vídeo explicativo e magnifico Trailler. Sou adepto de Camping em barracas e trailler aqui no Brasil.

    A lovely interior but extend the van by 1.5 metres with a transverse bed, over a big garage, and get rid of the overhead bed. I really like the wood finish and white leather combined with the dark floor.
