- This FurgoK VW campervan conversion is the most original I have ever seen. The idea is to hide the washroom in order to create space. I think this works - although I appreciate those with more conservative ideas may not like it!
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, Malibu, Pilote, Wild Ax, Vantage, Bresler, Tom's Fahrzeugtechnik, Morelo, Swift, Carado 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.

As a engineer myself, I must salute this project. It's incredible
Yes, it's very original and creative... I also always thought that toilet/washroom is a waste of space, but also very important to have. I like this one...
La mejor Camper que he visto en mi vida
That's really good! I totally agree with the collapsing bathroom idea because as the man says, you only use the bathroom for short periods in the day and yet it takes up a huge amount of room. You only have to divide a section of the van as they have done and then the bathroom can be there. Really, they did a great job. Everything else is first class as well, the bed going up and down at the back, really good. Very original and very good indeed.
€81,000 takes it into Wingamm territory. I think personally I'd still get a Wingamm if I had that kind of lolly myself, but many would opt for this and I can see why they would.
Just outstanding. The new benchmark!
The innovative approach by this company makes the best possible use of confined space, whilst offering the most spacious of shower rooms!
The folding shower tray is a very well considered feature, and their execution of the fold away/expanding shower room is outstanding.
It is good to see a company taking this space saving, spacious and ergonomic approach!
Thank you for highlighting this clever iteration.
Thanks for watching Felix!
now THAT is clever. I do like it.
Amazing materials for shower curtain and kitchen & design - very creative.
"A Great Use Of Space" Very clever use of robust materials,, "Showers - toilets, take up to much room even in bigger vans, Maybe it would work in a bigger "Fiat Van" "A bit cheeper?. nice vid""
A Phenomenal Video And Camper All The Best To Everyone In The Team.
Killer way to put in a bathroom. It takes the folding sink to the next logical step. Genius. He should be as proud of the bathroom design as he is. Very ingenuous The hidden toilet and the shower show a grasp of design that many van designers never get to. The inside of the bed looks a little plastic and could be warmer if they introduced some different materials as accents. That said, such accents are expensive and they seem to have done some nice work on the price.
Corian is super nice. It's super expensive too.
When you consider that decent quality van conversions in the US routinely go for $150,000 you begin to appreciate these European prices ;)
fantastic to see some out the box thinking on this superb van
jajaja buen inglés Iñaki. Y gracias por el video como siempre Alan.
Really lovely I need a toilet in our new van as I am a wheelchair user and unfortunately most places are not accessible for disabled people so we need to have it available onboard
That's really nice. I've seen a similar shower layout before but never quite that slick, and I like that toilet.
A great solution for the bathroom.
The bathroom set up is a brilliant design.
Very nice overall.
Corian® sink! Posh. I like the van a lot. Thanks Alan
Very clever made this bathroom!
this is the coolest one yet
Peaso furgo la de Antonio de CamperRuteros. Espectacular distribución. Thanks Alan.
Very good design! Hope well see more of this clever use of space.
Great use of space.
Excellent well thought use of space! Wish caravan manufacturers had more solutions like this!
Amazing. Love it. John
Hi Alan! Interesting!
Hello Paweł. It has been a very long time. 18 years in fact!
Plenty space while including a proper bed and a bathroom. All builds should be like this.
Appreciate the smooth camera work by the way. Phone gimbals are great.
great presentation as always and VW has really done it! Please VW send these to us in Canada! The salesman did a great job too:)
An interesting van,nice to see some new ideas.
But an extra £30k to have a foldaway bathroom and a built-in screen seems an odd way to spend the money. While the Great Reset rumbles on and people discover that emulating a pincushion was 'unwise', simple things like solar, water tank size and other basic considerations like long range diesel tanks would be more useful. The biggest space saver is to go to a coachbuilt lift-up bed over the lounge, and it allows a decent sized washroom that doesn't disappear during cooking times.
Also the VW, I really want to like it, but they suck for campers - too narrow - and are overpriced.
What would be really really cool, and require decent design ideas, is an amphibious camper: but I don't think the stuffy bureaucrats and bankers would allow it to exist, only on Top Gear does that work!
@@dave4511 Have you not seen the official injury stats, or read the list of reported effects? Also if you look at all the countries with a high uptake rate: they are the countries in trouble. E.g isreal, seychelles etc. Also look at the continued restrictions: clearly it doesn't work, and clearly no one who has had it, has any faith in it working either.
@@dave4511 Haha, enjoy your little world, I'll stay with reality thanks :D
@@dave4511 I don't need luck, as without masks or experimental injections, I still have a perfect immune system. There is a reason the highly compliant countries have the most excess deaths now.
@@dave4511 You think the earth is flat? Gravity trumps structural bonds, sorry, an oblate spheroid. The poi. Son you take for a mythical pathogen, identified by an unverified test is your concern, not mine. Darwin welcomes people like you LOL.
Very clever layout and soutions. Would like too see int in a high roof Transit, which is even taller.
Awesome van
As Alan would say, motorhomes are a compromise, and what a clever compromise it is.
great to see somthing new
I agree with this approach, too much space is wasted for bathrooms in camper vans. I feel similarly about beds... A great price too
Verry nice campervan 👌
I like the sink. I don’t like all that faffing about to go to the toilet. If you want to save space get rid of the half dinette.
I think that the point of this design is to give the owner more day-time space, because he is in a place where it rains a lot and living the outdoors is not easy. As a RUclipsr he needs a comfortable space to work. Using the passenger seats as a workplace would mean that when it is time to eat you have to clear everything away, which is so tedious. However, having an area with a table and seating at the front means that you can eat comfortably in 3/4 people if necessary. Anyone who lives in Britain, where it rains a lot, will tell you that a dinette space and a lounge space are what makes RVing in Britain feasable.
Very nice &functional
Definitely the most stunning Van I’ve never seen! Thank you Alan! 👍🏻
Yes, total agree, is the Best layout ever seen before. Congrats the owner camperutero!!!! Antonio!
well done best design I've seen !
Interesting engineering solutions
My 1995 RoadTrek has essentially that hall shower set up, except that the shower pan is the actual hallway, and I have a second bathroom fold out door to create total privacy when using the facilities. I think it's funny that what was done 26 years ago, is considered 'new' again lol
All their vans have a similar bathroom the design has been been around within the company for some years ,I thought it was fantastic back then
Very nice bathroom
Very innovative!
Amazing bathroom innovation.
So pleasant to see a van that is actually inno ative
That is exactly the kind of van for me. I quess you'd have to travel to Spain to collect and drive back. Sorry if that seems obvious. Been looking at conversions and standard makes for over a year. That's the first that is me. I want one
Thank you Alan. If you see this. There's always been that perception about Fiat cars, the European market seems mainly to use the ducato as a base model. Are they a lot better than the ill-informed like me think. OR would the extra for a crafter or merc be worth it. I personally like the transit trail (not custom)
but rarely see a transit as a base vehicle. Keep it up mate. I love all your content 👍
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!
Felicidades Iñaky! , un gran trabajo.Seguro que Antonio está disfrutando como un enano! And congrats for the channel, it's great!!!
That´s an amazing van.
Yes that’s true that you don’t go so often to the toilet or shower .. but with this configuration.. when you have to go you spend 1 hour setting everything up 🤣.
Plus this doesn’t count that if you are with other people ( which should be normal ) … they cannot use anything in the Van. Not even take a beer from the fridge
Nice 👍🏻
very good 👍
I like how the bathroom reveals itself.
Unsure re shower tray. Like the bathroom sink and it’s fold away design. Like the kitchen sink and the lithium power. Dislike what appears to be bolt upright passenger seating. I assume the engine snorkel is an avoidable frippery and that the price can be kept to a base level. With a few preferences applied and a fair wind on tonight’s euromillions I’d be interested.
Lovely van.
Even I don't like that kind of bath (water vapours and shitty odours issues), another smart way to "hide/build" a bath cabin with a curtain is at the entrance door steps.
I agree with you 👍🏼. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Seen that bathroom design before with a FIAT from the same outfitter.
Amazing!
Nice find Alan...seriously cool ise of space!
Wow brilliant design. I love when something new is revealed like this rather than the same old layouts. If I were designing that I would have a chill out sofa/table and tv in rear (similar to the Spanish brand "Bunkervan") and just leave the 2 person drop down bed above. I' would also want a larger fridge not sure where the toilet would go then. One question...is it hygienic having a toilet so close to a fridge like that? The shower I imagine would not be 100% waterproof but it would be no big deal drying up a little water with a microfiber cloth or something if any got out onto the floor- a small price to pay for such a clever space saving design. Price is a little high but not unexpected for a VW. Congrats to the team who designed this lovely van.
It is a small van - both the toilet and the kitchen have to go somewhere. I have never heard of anyone getting poisoned that way!
Brilliant. I assume that this is all wheel drive as it has a snorkel. Also, is the hatch for the toilet (hopefully) hidden behind the sliding door or do you have to carry the cassette in and out through the van.
This is very clever, but as a surfer, I dont want to go through this whole process everytime I need to shower
Fix a spray mixer tap to the kitchen sink and hose yourself down outside after surfing. Save the shower for proper washes.
@@michellebyrom6551 I've tried that before but I find the water pressure is very low unfortunately
That's amazing!
Totally agree with the sentiment. This is how I designed my van - how much time do you spend doing various activities? Then allocate space accordingly. My van is 600mm shorter and has more storage. I too have an “office”, the kitchen is twice the size and has a full size fridge. I built it for a quarter of the price.
If It Is the 4motion version of the VW crafter the internal height Is probably 1,80 Meter.. maybe less.
Maybe we could have a good result with the Ford Transit Van
🔥🔥🔥
Amazing.
This is the Most Creative RV I've Seen so Far... I ♥️ it ♥️♥️♥️
Question, are all these vans Left Hand Drive ⁉️
Almost all of them. Small companies would do RHD on request.
stunning
Thank you! 😊
The Autohomes Camelot used a similar design back in the 1980s. But it was primitive compared to this implementation.
Love it
Good job! Car and information. For me It would be better to have instead of a shower curtian a folding door! So you have a room divider too und nothing gunge on my body ( soap and co.). I like this car/mobil very much. IWI
Harks back to the British railway cars with the basins folding back into the walls. Often wonder when watching these conversions why more use isn't made of electric marine lavatories. There must be a problem but no one's ever explained it.
love your hair
Hallo Alan thanks, for really great video, I'm already looking long time to change my 7.4 meter benimar ( wel its a fantastic great mobilhome) to a van this one nageld it , also good price.
If o have the money I keep both 🙂
Sweet!
Can you tell me if theres any 4 berth+motorhomes 2021under 630cm also what make of motorhome you drive?? I have a budget of £52000.
Don't like it. There's too much of a gap between the ceiling and the top of the shower curtain. Also, I would hate to have to wake my husband up from me having explosive diarrhea in the middle of the night. The thought of crapping in the middle of the kitchen is also not appetizing. That guy's presentation was like pulling teeth. Thanks again, Alan for showing us this van.
I always assumed you were a man! Your name, I thought was taken from a series of films starring Sylvester Stallone! And thanks for watching as always!
@@VanlifewithAlan actually you are correct, kinda. This is my husband's account, mine was hacked and they posted racist comments that got my account shut down permanently. His name really is John Rambo but he was born BEFORE all of those movies. John Rambo is a real person and that's what the movies were loosely based upon. LOVE YOU AND YOUR CONTENT!!! You always make me feel better and you are my GO TO when I'm in a foul mood. ❤ Thanks again, Alan!
@@jrambo7495 That is really brilliant! Made my day. I think the first Rambo film was marvellous - it really highlighted the problems of PTSD.
Good layout but still lake of storage space.
Quite unique - appears to be amphibious also?
And probably submarine too!
👍
Very good apart from sitting on the toilet with your back against the fridge. Not very hygienic!
Are you gonna shit upwards? 🤣
@@P_R_379 if you can’t say something sensible, keep quiet.
I always think of repairable systems, to many one off parts, that will be difficult and expensive to replace. Not for me.
Yup, ‘cause in the States we don’t even get those vans.
I think i would have to reposition the fridge though!
Where are you based these days? :)
Nowhere in particular, I just travel around in my motorhome!
fantastic; imagine having a poo and being able to access the fridge behind you to reach your cool hygiene wipes
Wow the only thing I can say is where can I buy one in America?
From 81k?
Exactly!
Compared to prices in the US for decent van conversions this is a steal!
state of the hair lol
Can't see all the water staying in that little tray when only using a shower curtain. Good idea in theory though.
That's why there's a curtain to be used.
As l said, "can't see...........curtain".
I agree with this concern. Especially with magnets only at the ends. Maybe if there were magnets all around the bottom of the curtain and a metal.edge on the corian base? The other issue with shower curtains is that they tend to stick to the user when wet.
This is the van for those that love to spend hrs faffing around on the camp site.
My MM is only 20cm longer and has a full size separate shower, with a huge garage under the bed that can easily accommodate x4 adult bikes, x2 kayaks, awning and lots more.
No thanks
The bathroom is just too fiddly, you could justify it in a transporter but why go through all that hassle to end up taking a dump in your fridge!
I bet you don't get much change out of £90,000
You won't. Especially if you put fuel in it.
Goodbye 🙂🙏🙏🇨🇷
No watching TV in bed?
I use toilet minim 3-4 hours/day because my disease...
I’m sorry great engineering but what a pain in the a** to have a shower
