£75,000 Camper Van Tour Tour : WildAx Elara

A very cool and beautifully finished WildAx Elara motorhome based on a Mercedes Benz Sprinter van.
With thanks to: www.nickwhalem...

[@ReemHgs]

I can listen to him all day. What a comfortable, pleasant tour!

[@bobuncle8704]

I like the level of finish on this one, and that pass through looks handy

[@zucods]

Wow, looks actually spacious inside! The wetroom is decent, the beds are really nice, enough space in the kitchen, great fridge/freezer for the size. And pretty discreet on the outside! Sweet! Cheers!

[@crazycurtis28]

Build this on the 4x4 version of the sprinter and you’ve got my dream camper 😍

[@lisadefries6718]

Agreed would be better in 4x4 also I would prefer more tint in windows for privacy

[@Bootneck-RMC]

£75k is still a lot of money, but look at what you get for it! The design and construction of the interior is superb IMO, and it appears to be well put together. I love the fact that you can turn the drivers seat round to give more seating within the camper area itself. Another great Motorhome and review Nick, thank you. 👍

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thank you for watching :)

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

My friend has just bought a home made one that's very similar, it's a 2011 sprinter and for that it only cost him£4,500. It was built by a plumber so it's got a great water and heading system.

[@Yeoblade]

It would be unusual that you can't turn drivers seat round !

[@Bootneck-RMC]

@@Yeoblade There are a few that that have the drivers seat fixed in the forward facing position.

[@brianwhite4090]

All the vans I have had for the last 55 years have had swivelling front seats. This is a great piece of kit! When my premium bonds come home......!🙏💐😁

[@mmsmits2868]

I like how they separated the areas. Instead of angular blocks they used soft, rounded section that make the entire van look bigger. That and the very well designed lighting make this one stand out! Thanks for the tour!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@Texasbird026]

Having showered a few times in a wet bath in a travel trailer, I wish there was a place to hook the shower head over head, I hate having to hold it and shower. In addition, I wish there was a foot operated on off switch, water conservation would be enhanced. This all might be picky, but just offering suggestions for continuous improvement. Would also like foot operated switch/valve for kitchen sink, again with goal of water conservation.

[@missvixmcswaggins1885]

I can't get over how thick the mattresses are!! Wow love it! 👍

[@stiengary762]

Hi beautiful, how are you doing?

[@kevinbanham2429]

Another good one for a couple or two friends great for touring round the Uk or Europe.

[@ismailmuttaqien1203]

What a nice small camper! That storage in the back can sleep my three kid, love it!

[@mepilot1]

Happy Saturday Nick. Impressive use of interior colors and lighting on this Mercedes WildAx Elara. In small spaces this combination REALLY makes a difference. Another great review sir. 🥂

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Many thanks!

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

Very nice indeed for a couple to get out exploring. Absolutely love it!

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

It's small but well equipped boat Nick Sir.. Indeed lights are great.. And Looking dashing as always..

[@kulaghoumin8731]

A very nice one

[@whackamolem8024]

HI Nick! We're back! lol...Hey there's an RV that is also a Boat here on KZbin, it's called the "Terra Wind", easy to find. Just saying, If you could get a tour of that, you could put the same video on two channels simultaneously...twice as much video for the editing time..lol Kind Regards

[@MOTAHOLIC]

That would be awesome! 😄

[@futte2303]

Wow what a nice motorhome

[@casematecardinal]

Now this is one clean low profile camper. I love it.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. This conversion is fantastic. Good colour choice exterior and interior. Table sorage and swivel front seats. Like it a lot. Great video thanks 😊

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@kevinfleming9919]

Nice Vlog👍and nice RV. Love the color choices inside, gives it a larger feeling with the lighter color and dark accents. Well appointed and nice amount of storage for it's size!

[@jackirichard414]

Nice looking van.

[@balsingh9830]

For the price this ain't bad at all. Very good review. 👍.

[@raydowley1038]

another nice one Nick your opening my eyes up to the world of the tourer ty

[@barryoconnor431]

Nice piece of kit but for £75,000 I would expect nothing less than perfection. I would imagine that same design and spec on a Fiat/Peugeot chassis would be about £15/20,000 less.

[@dog11222]

Now that would be my ideal camper, maybe a composting toilet, but other than that, perfect!

[@Yeoblade]

A composting toilet in a Motorhome,🤣 It takes months to compost shit!

[@Bottna]

Great one for 2 people.

[@riteshr.k.fatnfine3004]

Nice Nick

[@Countdown-ct7iv]

Very nicely thought out.

[@susannemulholland4804]

This is fabulous... only thing I would want is a slim slide out pantry

[@stiengary762]

Lol, how are you doing?

[@debbiejudd4933]

Great for a week at the lake.

[@darrenpardoe]

Space is a premium in most vans. The cooker looks great but sitting on the countertop is space that could have been used for food preparation, form over function! Why separate the controls for heating (need to climb over the seat to get at) & 12v, water etc? The table support near the 3rd seat is at shin/foot level, looks like someone will lose some skin on that one. The mattress partly covers the windows? When a quilt or other bedding is on the mattress your not going to have much of a view! No cupboard for longer clothing like shirts, coats etc. This van has not been well thought out. The van sure looks pretty, but it's all bling.

[@canadadan4437]

What a well thought out little unit and great tour as always Nick 👍🇨🇦

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@vincentestone5764]

This is very nice.

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Wow, that is beautiful. Well done!

[@jonkaysen9823]

i guess it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new series online ?

[@terrancelangston6429]

@Jon Kaysen Flixportal xD

[@jonkaysen9823]

@Terrance Langston Thanks, I went there and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!!

[@KianneofTroi]

take out the fridge & draw thing and replace it with a small fridge+ 2 /3 draw freezer and thats perfect

[@mickobrien6360]

They need to add a cage/cover to protect the electrics in the garage.

[@chrisstockman9128]

I like it. Great video Nick.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thanks!

[@9VARZ]

These are amazing, Nick! I was wondering if you would have any access to any of those expedition/explorer type motorhomes too. Would be great to have your take on those!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Hopefully at some stage

[@jakes8545]

Love these motorholic videos nick!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad to hear it!

[@harveyhill9174]

another brilliant video, thanks

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lunes-1]

Great video,keep it up!🚛🚚🚙🚘🚜

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Jambukizee]

Awesome

[@denisemeredith2436]

If I was going to have a camper van then I would have this one.

[@adamlaski9128]

I’m always surprised at how much they manage to fit in these van motor homes

[@danceworld8360]

I'm always surprised at how expensive they are getting 😳

[@Rayraywheelz]

I like it only I'd modify it so that the shelf in the back doors would slide out. Also I saw the TV in the sleeping area but is there one in the main living area. Would be cool if there was an extra cushion to enlarge the bed like the boats have.

[@trumpetrider565]

Each to their own but that’s a lot of money. For that kinda cash you can get the absolute top of the range Coachman Lusso and a pretty decent tow car and still have change. And it’s got a shower!!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

If you would rather have a caravan and a car then I agree, you're better off buying a caravan and a car.

[@Miss_Loving]

Very nice!!

[@cookiemonster2299]

I like that one, tow hitch for a boat and off I go.😁👍

[@noone8921]

Very nice motor home...I just find that drainage plug looking kinda cheap and sticking out to the point, all it takes is one medium-size pothole and your drainage valve is busted....other than that a nice van to cross the good old trans Canada highway.....maybe.😁

[@metheult]

Right there at the end I was saying to myself.....here's the part when Nick says "lets go check out the engine room".

[@melissak9640]

These tours are so well done, love your channel :)

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thanks so much!

[@datomohdhalilshuhadah]

I would like to say most first class layout Motohome and dream to get it one for Malaysia specification

[@redshovel]

Great review Nick. Ur certainly getting the nak of presenting Motorhomes. Any plans to branch into caravans?

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Not at the moment, but who knows?

[@domainnameguy]

that is better than a house more people will downsize to motorhomes like this although the gamechanger for vanlife is if supermarkets allow people living in vans like these to stay in their car parks overnight like wallmart do in the states etc

[@volwars]

I would totally kick that TV to pieces while sleeping XD

[@watsomd]

The placement should have been fold up or a cantilever are to move it out of the foot area.

[@ryanp256]

Love your vids!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@gitaapatel]

Thank you for showing this beautiful camper van. Is it automatic? It is expensive for it’s size. 🙏

[@joec4871]

I notice the majority of campers in Europe have cassette toilets. Any particular reason why? Nice jazzy rig or as you would say "Funky".

[@jetblackjk]

😍❤️💕💕👌🏼wow Beautifull

[@MeanAzz_13]

This is one *comfortable* place I can see myself *happy* in. Can we get them in *NZL?*

[@MeanAzz_13]

*Chip* this girl out with more *torque* and you got a keeper. Can we get them in *NZL?*

[@castletransport]

I'm surprised you are able to view any or even that there are any in storage seeing as everyone wants to have a motorhome. Apparently sales are going through the roof again. The world is going crazy lol

[@DrGhalaCoin]

I love this guy

[@RomeoKGT]

My first reaction was how do you change the bulb for the lighting looks complicated. I do like this motorhome though and enjoy your reviews.

[@AtharvSangewar]

These lights are leds, they work for 6-7 year atleast

[@ronellis4566]

Looks like a convict van?

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

Oh, right hand drive, rats! Otherwise I would have put in a bid. No can do in Canada, I’d get mixed up. Plus , it would be costly to set up a 240 volt charge line as here it’s 120 volt systems. All that said, it’s a beauty.

[@stiengary762]

Hi

[@nickwebb9290]

Hey what happened with the extending work top? Sounded pretty cronky and didn’t seem keen to extend up properly 🤣 One of the better van conversions but very pricey. Great tour as always, thanks Nick 👍

[@patriciadevito1975]

Very nice 💖

[@alanpaton694]

Not my favourite floor plan, beds are a waste of space for day living, if they were lower they could double up as useable seating given that the only seating is the two front seats as the side seat doesn’t look very practical. I really don’t get fixed bed in such small vans

[@Skeletomania]

I have to agree. After binge watching camper van videos it seems European camper vans doesn't utilize space that well

[@jamieh2239]

I'm not sure it's about using the space badly it's just finding the right layout for you. I wouldn't want to make a bed every night for example, so a narrow body, long wheel base van like this looks like it suits our needs. Lots of motorhomes are around 7 mtrs and with fixed beds. Given the price it's a lot more usable and the bed more comfortable than the smaller VW vans which can easily get to £60k - £70k

[@patriciamatthews9390]

Beautiful 💕💕🎉💕💕🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥

[@datomohdhalilshuhadah]

One more may I asking it’s possible the bed make it quen/king size design

[@Conan3145]

Better than a tiny house home

[@sebastiandutu05]

Foarte frumos este

[@MaaDSK4LLz]

I'm in love

[@andersbostrom4362]

nice one!

[@leogolbourn9800]

Nowhere to drain the dishes when washing up. The hob is flat and water would run off.

[@gerrycollins2335]

I take it those tambour doors at the foot of each bed enclose hanging wardrobes of a sort? If not there appears to be no wardrobe space at all. My wife wouldn't have that!

[@khandakarhassan5381]

great home car

[@Greysonsgrandma]

Why are the vans more than actual rvs though? You’d think they would be less

[@wareidav]

Nice van but £75K is a lot of money. I wouldn`t say no though.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

how to reinforce a van MPV body??? please advise!!!

[@jackirichard414]

Hello

[@TheLoxxxton]

I do watch aquaholic as well and I really am quite torn! 75 grand for a two birth van or the same for a boat! If I had the cash I really don't know. Van. More use but horrible campsites Boat more ongoing expense but wonderfull freedom and scenery! Why do people choose one or the other?

[@VH-gw3qi]

Vey nice van, thank you for sharing :) How do you “curtain off” the front / cabin area from the rest of the interior (for privacy) ? :)

[@airscentual_sommie4295]

Wao... I love it❤️

[@KomalSanas-xx9jw]

Very nice car 😮😮😢😊😊❤

[@MarcoPRAndrade]

[@fadzillah160]

Is there anywhere in the UK for this model for rental?

[@eziocaruso4977]

Hello I'm Ezio from Sicily Catania, I saw on you tube many of your van van vans camperized, all one more beautiful than the other, I like them all, but I having a large family of 5 I have 6 people I wanted to know if you have van van vans camperized for family from 5 I have 6 approved seats. Thank you. Response aspect.

[@gillosborne9516]

Regarding the bed, you mention you can choose a double or 2 singles. Does this have to be specified at purchase, or is it convertible in situ please?

[@denisemeredith2436]

According to the Wildax website, you have to specify when ordering. The mattress is pocket sprung and is made for the van.

[@raykeogh1972]

I work away 5 days a week so 4 of those days I sleep over, That would drive me nuts, it would cause CLOUSTROPHOBIA, such a tiny space of sitting area if your sitting on the drivers seat the back is so close to the steering wheel you would feel pushed forward sitting in it, Where the control is your bound to split your head open at some stage coming in without having to think obout it, that should of been shortend by 4inches, I see lots of these vans converted mostly by women and they are spacious stunning in design and exceptionally homely, the wood cut and finishing is shocking, Mine is a coach build not that homely but badly needs a womens touch I admit, but for this to be a professional touch if by MERC is so bad, Back doors should have a shower on them even a couple of hammocks maybe, I personally think the would looks so cheap and its light show is trying to blind people to what it really is, I have seen MERC converts to die for but at £75,000 that is so poor. Only telling part of what I really think, if you put a thumbs down like I did you should also be constructive as I do when I put a thumbs up. Seriously I would run out of INK on my MacBook Pro if I really told you how badly thats designed, Ray K UK YNWA.

[@darrenpardoe]

I'm glad I see it the way you do. This is all form over function.

[@stevieburrows3953]

Only £75,000........................... I bought a used 2017 314 lwb with aircon in Jan 2020 full service history £14,000 I then spent six grand turning it into a beautiful campervan.All in £20,000 so glad I wasn't born a minute ago

[@MOTAHOLIC]

You would rather hope that buying a secondhand van and fitting it out yourself would be cheaper than a brand new professionally built motorhome! 😄

[@KaptainKastle]

Since they only have single beds in it , what's the purpose of the small mattress square in the middle ?

[@davidhayes4814]

This is specified as having a 3500kg GVW and a 330kg payload …… less with options. I don’t think that is enough. This problems besets many campervans over 6m.

[@hsp2007]

they are asking 80k for this in the link you provided. has it gone 5k in 5 weeks?

[@timvins]

You never mentioned engine spec?

[@maneffmeyssene5309]

👍💙

[@dairyfarmerdan]

Needs more lights

[@PS-sd8yc]

Where do you hang your coat!

[@ramithaseethal9784]

Wish I could win that motor home🙏

[@amanilaurajoyfelicita3111]

In Italia where can i buy It?
