I am going to name this the best series build campervan that I know – and I think that I have probably seen just about all the campervans available on the European market. First, I need to explain what I mean by series. I have borrowed this word from languages such as French and German, where it is mass produced. I don’t think campervans are mass produced because their quantity is so small so series seems a suitable word as it does not indicate this in English. Obviously a campervan made exclusively to order will always be better and suit the requirements of the buyer more than one bought ‘off the shelf’. The reasons I think it is the best series produced campervan are because of : 1. the insulation and in particular the double floor, 2. the rear elevating bed which would allow a bicycle to be placed in the garage – the only side bed campervan that I know of that can do this. 3. the ingenious bunk beds at the front 4. overall look and in particular light thanks to the front sloping roof with large panoramic window and second skylight 5. complete : solar included in the price. 6. all inclusive price without costly factory options. : on Fiat Ducato EUR75k, on Peugeot Boxer EUR70k. 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 YouTube channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find camper vans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, 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 and 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.

Some clever stuff, but too crowded and too many mechanisms that can fail. That bathroom and kitchen are hideously cramped. As a retired Mechanical Design Engineer, I can imagine much better ways to arrange that volume., and wouldn’t press so hard to accommodate so many bodies in there.
That van’s basic form-factor is wide enough for simple beds in a transverse orientation, even as bunkbed style in a more efficient use of space up front. A slightly higher high-top with a cab-over combined with a vertically compressible (or lowered) front seating should free-up one whole volume for a comfortable bed above without trying so hard!
how do you take a shower with the toilet on your feet?
You need a mic-foam to nullify the wind noise…
Well Alan this is beautiful ❤️nice floorplan ❤️ bath..and bed.. ingenuity ❤️
As a single traveler, i hate the bench seat right behind the driver’s seat…wonder if i could get it removed…it would really open the layout up.
Also, would prefer lithium battery and an induction stove vs the 70s camping style burners.
What model is it? Or, is that the model name, if so who makes it.? Do they sell in USA?
Would like to see how to get into top bunk

@Alan Heath ❤️Thank you sir for reply
Brilliant Van and Brilliant Productionvideo….lgmario
I did not do the van but I did the video so thank you very much!
That’s nifty Alan. Could put the grandkids in those bunks. I wouldn’t do away with the fixed bed though. Very clever design. I would instinctively put my head the other end of that lower bunk…..tucked in out of the way. Nice one.
Very nice, this is what real engineers can do !! Was this designed in Sweden?
No, it was designed by my friend Jacek Jaskot from Poland who used to work for Globe Traveller and did a number of innovative projects there too.
Great design. I am not %100 for the practical side of front bed but it gives much more space for bath and kitchen. So the afford can easily be accepted, have nice trips 🙂
Glad you like it!
Love the ingenuity of the bunk bed. Obviously first generation of this concept, can’t wait for it to be further developed and improved. Hopefully other manufacturers take inspiration from this and start building with a lot more creativity.
