A funky motorhome from a German builder.
With thanks to: www.nickwhalem...

[@seasider101]

Hi Nick! I've no budget, but making use of what I have... a foam mattress fitted into the back of a Skoda Octavia. Solar shower bag to keep clean, gas burner to keep nourished, ice box to keep things cool, new lady with a zest for life to enjoy it all. You're not sleeping, if you're not sleeping out :-) Thanks for the videos. All the best and stay safe out there.

[@Wee-Rex]

That is NICE and I really like your presentation style. Under 7 minutes, succinct, all the information needed and no film-flam. Good job.

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick that's a really nice camper and I was not expecting the second bed over the cab but I do really like the way both beds lift up out of the way allowing for use all year round and a very tempting price, Have a great weekend bud

[@MrOso36]

This van is liken the Swiss army knife of motorhomes. Really cleaver how they fit in all these clever features.

[@gardengeek3041]

Speaking of knives, it's s cleaver pun!

[@battousaihimura8822]

You should have seen the Japanese version..it's like the GUNDAM of Motorhomes.Small but Compact n Loaded with Features!

[@bobuncle8704]

So much innovation in these smaller units. The last few you’ve show really seem to focus on versatility and multipurpose design. I do really like the work today, play tomorrow type of functionality.

[@stephenjohnson4879]

That’s a fantastic and well designed camper van and, wasn’t expecting two double beds. Brilliant.

[@kipdynamite4164]

Spoiler

[@3066jc]

Apart from all the practical design and solution, most of all, you can drive it with your nomal car licence without any upgrade and park in any open air car park and doesn't even look like a camper van (when all the blinds are drawn up)! It looks like a normal transit van, so doesn't attract anyone's attention much which is great. And it is a right-hand drive with proper heating, very appropriate to the UK climate!

[@kevinbanham2429]

Another great motor home. Thanks for showing us Nick

[@andym847]

This is cool, so very usable, sensible floor plan results in multi purpose, spacious and functional areas. Also no stuffing around putting bedding away every morning and taking it out every night, practical solution to a repetitive pointless task... making the bed. Excellent tour as per usual. Thank you, take care. 👍👍👍🛻🚕🚗🚙🏎🏍☠🏴‍☠️⚓😎

[@dxg999]

I really like that. I wonder if the rear bed could latch halfway down? If so, looks like you could get a couple of mountain bikes in the garage...

[@dxg999]

I've looked at their website - you can! And/or put another bed under it. Lots of flexibility.

[@TheMVCoho]

I love these Nick! I have been very impressed by the quality and design of every single motor home you've reviewed. And on top of that they are insanely affordable! In the USA you will be paying a lot more and getting far less.

[@gardengeek3041]

Yes, Nick, this one stands out. Lots of innovation. Exudes quality & durability. Will become a classic

[@RM-lj8bv]

I would love to see a video of how you power it up and get water, electric, gas etc. That's all the stuff that worries me about this type of living.

[@mallerywallinger1096]

Wow. It's like a Tardis inside.I never expected to see so much and excited to see a toilet too . I'd buy this motorhome.

[@soniadowney7427]

Best part l0l

[@LawnRight]

Really like all of the small details you pointed out.. the beds that drop down.. so clever! And the blinds/flyscreens

This is really awesome and ideal for a family of 4. Love it!

[@claudemaassen2963]

I watch your vlogs a lot. Whether it's boats or motor homes and I must say that you are the best presenter on U tube, by far. I enjoy all your presentations.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Wow, thank you!

[@davidsimpson216]

Definitely the best 👍🏻

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

And Thank you Nick for this nice show with a nice solution in the back to store some bike's and when you are on the place where you are bike;s out bed down viola

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. Love the colour and decals. Funky lighting and drop down beds sre hidden in the roof. Great video thanks 😊

[@Jay1830]

Thats something very original that doesn't suck. Congrats for finding this gem and thanks for sharing it on your channel

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@barryoconnor431]

Nice piece of kit but why is the access door on the wrong side for British roads??? If you park up in a layby for a break the door would open straight out into traffic. Obviously you can just move through the interior of the vehicle. If you have kids you'd have to be very careful about exiting the vehicle through that door or pass through the gap between the driver and front passenger seats.

[@LeonardoSummers]

Brilliantly thought out design very practical especially the second bed and compact fridge.

[@leekh2125]

Brilliant design. Love it. The back bed is great but should have a sitting area there too.

[@zaheers123]

Great value for money and very nice and compact

[@Nokenify]

Can you do some "meet the owner" of a motorhome? Brilliant series and then we might see some modified vans/trailers/homes.

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Wow stunning Nick Sir.. Even Van colour is great.. And looking dashing Sir

[@sanjeevkalia622]

Thanks a lot for making different videos. I love British English accent and I see your videos because you speak very clearly & beautifully. I congratulate you

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@mattynipps]

What a great camper. Nice and compact with all the mod cons! Great that it sleeps and transports 4!

[@SinkyYT]

It's about time that we got new colours than just white and grey!

[@sherlockgnomes8971]

Now this is something more in my price range. I’d love to get one and get up to the Lake District and Scotland route 500. Definitely more affordable than a super yacht 😅

[@ellenkellett6529]

Can I come with you up Scotland 🙂

[@sherlockgnomes8971]

@@ellenkellett6529 sure let’s do it haha! But I warn you, I’m not a good cook .

[@ukgroucho]

@@sherlockgnomes8971 Forget the Lake District.. small roads have no passing places in my experience so unless you are a master at reversing then it's hard work. The NC500 in Scotland is the complete opposite LOADS of passing places so even if you take the 'proper' route (that they guide caravans away from) it's still very easy going. Did it in May in our Dreamer D60 Fun and it was fantastic.

[@sherlockgnomes8971]

@@ukgroucho bet you’re a laugh at parties

[@ukgroucho]

@@sherlockgnomes8971 Not quite sure how I upset you. Was sharing my experiences of taking a 6.36m Ducato based PVC around parts of the UK this year. NC500 was easy, Lake district (even out of high season) was a chore. Devon and Cornwall not bad.

[@skyler951]

I'm in love with the red one.

[@temper44]

I really liked how they made it seem like there were no compromises. Good size beds, the seats weren't cramped, tall fridge and everything was logical. Makes you wonder what Knaus could do with a bigger frame, they could probably fit a whole football team in there.

[@I_Am_Victor]

What a amazing use of space in Van! Well designed for comfortable trips. Good Presentation 😎👍

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@icanaja8192]

@@MOTAHOLIC microwave oven?

[@moses9426]

That bed on top of the living is a very nice idea. This is probably the first I've seen in a van. That is a great innovation.

[@srsilver2255]

hi look at wingamm 610 probably you like it

[@MrTravismessmer]

Did not expect this one to be my favorite so far!

[@MariusBrits14]

What a practical family or couple motorhome! This is probably the best budget one I have seen thus far 😁👌 Great video!

[@bradmanchester7843]

Absolutely a fantastic van that easily accommodates 4 people with 2 drop down beds...think I would lose half the storage under the hob to accommodate a oven and grill and maybe if possible a microwave...

[@tomrailton9201]

That is one of the best motorhomes I have ever seen if I win the lottery today I will definitely be contacting you. Take care and stay safe. Tom.

[@barrysheridan9186]

Very well organised.

[@bbjim1]

I love it. Its excellent. After motorhoming across Europe with two kids this is exactly what I have been looking for. 6m, 4berths. I do like the new pop roof ones as well. But this is compact and functional. Just need to save the pennies. Thanks motorholic

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@IgorMateski]

Thank you for all the videos. Very useful. No fluf, so they're easy to digest. Hope you'll be able to help. You had a review of a van that had 2 lounges, one at the front, one at the back. Both converted to sleepers AND there were 2 pull down beds. So practically the van could sleep 8 people. It was under the 100k sticker price, and it was with a regular van cabin. I was looking over videos and can't find the one I'm looking for. Hope you can help. Thanks!

[@joeramone1802]

Seriously..simple and brilliant design..love it!!

[@boskomarkoski1503]

It is amazing how much they squeezed into a van. You could actaully put another mattress in the back under the bed in the back.

[@Bottna]

Im kind of suprised there are so many different kind of motor homes. 😊 👍

[@paulevans3522]

Great new van very nice

[@blackmamba3427]

Awesome video and beautiful motor home

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@danielmcloughlin7657]

That’s a nice Van, we have a Vantourer that is made in the Knaus factory and has many similar features but a few different ones in the bathroom and roof!

[@vanished8664]

Very tempting and Vantastic for a little family. Being single though, I would opt out of the two passengers seats and the Brilliant concept of that overhead bed and utilise the space otherwise.

[@pudsrus2]

Land or sea ,you do the best reviews mate👍

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thank you :)

[@strider6920]

Very clever use of limited space. Does not appear cramped. Very practical, and the size would allow it access to many more roads than some of the bigger ones. Love the hidden beds that open up the space. Very nice Nick. Does it have Volvo Penta engines and a range of 250 miles? Oh wait, that is a different type of transport 😉😂 Your knowledge is amazing Nick. Thanks for this 😊

[@SalmanKhan-og4ew]

I am addicted to these videos

[@onewomanandherdog5219]

I'm not keen on the drop down bed at the back, In the 'up' position you can't access the cupboards above and in the 'down' position you can't access the ones below. The van life campers have all made that area work so much better with outward-facing storage under the bed. I appreciate the shower room is in the way but there would still be room to have a door in the centre under the bed with one of those half moon-shaped drawer units that swivel round (like the ones used in the corner cabinets of kitchens) and then the same on the other side with the door/opening under the fridge. That would then leave half the width of the bed as the 'garage'. Their current set up takes up a huge amount of space and is quite ugly, you wouldn't want to use it as living space.

[@moonbear5929]

Not bad, some pretty clever stuff in that van. I especially like the drop down bed in the back. I would like to see some sort of fan in the roof. Vans like that get hot in the summer months, and heat rises. A fan in the roof would help expel the heat while the lowest windows would be open for better circulation. Does it have air conditioning for the whole van? What about heat? These are important details. Is there an option for solar power?

[@j.a.c.7191]

This is great. I wish we could see these designs in the USA

[@mazavaroo5959]

Clever design ,beautiful and modern

[@joe08867]

Nice use of space. Especially the front pull down bed. Nice review as always.

[@Mr2pint]

Clever use of space 👍

[@christopheripad477]

With the red one, you can do some work with the Royal Mail too.

[@trafficsnitch3505]

That is a really nice practical camper. I just love the colours too.

[@dougdavis8986]

Now that is RED! I kind of like it. Maybe the owner should do a tour of bull rings in Spain!

[@bertshriveledsack6915]

Another great video. Thank you, sir

[@9VARZ]

Nice to see Jacque making a little cameo here!

[@9VARZ]

@Heartsongsutube Having a bigger screen usually helps! 😅😅

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Nice. They should make a couple's version. Clear out those two seats. I like the idea of a manual transmission. On the other hand it's a (Fix It Again Tony) Fiat so reliability might be an issue.. Still, I'd probably buy one if they shifted the steering wheel over on the correct side.

[@cookiemonster2299]

This is perfect size and layout. 👍🙂

[@sireeable]

This is wonderful.. two beds and a compact washroom.👍

[@DVDsNFC]

Excellent presentation and a great build motorhome.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly!

[@davidmeek8017]

Brilliant engineering w/those beds! Aloha

[@RM-lj8bv]

Quality build, who would have thought 2 double beds. Amazing. My dream one day to have something like this.

[@anubhavs5034]

Beautiful and smart

[@Gatorpsychosis]

I love this camper. I wish I could buy one in America.

[@AhJodie]

Oh, I like this, would be fun to take for a week somewhere.

[@johndboran]

I think I would leave the rear bed up and have that huge "garage" at the back. And maybe a little storage above the bed when it is in the up position for thin items... Then I would just sleep in the pull down bed above the kitchen. Plenty of space for two people and you get to take a bunch of stuff with you too... Nice!! Greetings from Texas...

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Hey there Texas! 😃

[@artofverity8791]

Beautiful machine, very well explained! Motor homes are for people with money to blow but it's better deal than the VW California.

[@GerryBarnumMusic]

Nicely presented

[@dxg999]

Only negative would be the extra high roof. I wonder if what it would cost to get across to Harris and Lewis...

[@DougieBegg]

This one is for me, very well designed.

[@rippinstock]

Would love to start seeing under the hood of these!

[@vladimirsapunov1603]

Отличная компановка. Суппер передняя верхняя кровать👍. Но если правый руль( для Англии- то почему сдвижная правая дверь???)😂😂

[@remixedcat]

I'd love to have this for an everyday car lol. Never have to worry about bathrooms and a good place to hang out while hubby shops or someone's got an appointment lol.

[@ellenkellett6529]

Like the drop down bed at the front aswell as the back plenty of storage room

[@kajicuaca7843]

One of My favourite motorhome 😍♥️💪

[@familycampervanadventures8842]

Hi Nick. I love this kind of camper. Would love one for my family, but would mean having to get a car as well (we use our VW campervan as a car). Maybe if I work some more overtime? Great review 👍

[@jonathan461965]

Love it! What a superb motor!

[@KimCJorgensen]

That's a really nice, compact camper, didn't know you were into campers as well as boats.

[@fitter70]

Really nice motor home I wish they sold them in the U.S.. I would definitely consider buying one.

This is the most comfortable mobile home. I will buy it.

[@sabejreid2072]

Yes we love it.

Like that! Quality seems good... if you get to America I'd be interested in quality comparison

[@michaelbarbour1744]

Quite Fabulous Indeed.

[@high4travel]

very nice camp van and compact design...wish this is available in Canada

[@jackchn23]

Very good design with the two beds. I wonder if the US market has something like this?
