Amazing small motorhome liner. Frankia i680SG

I think Frankia produces some of the best motorhomes on the market, and whereas I know the definition of the word liner is not clear, I think that this is a liner, despite being under seven metres in length. It comes with a double floor and is wonderfully appointed. The options include an electrical package which is second to none. However, it comes with a price to match all of that.
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 KZbin 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.

Nice. Loads of storage. Very clever.

[@truthseeker9454]

Very clever, unique floorplan. Thank you for brining it to our attention, Alan!

[@VanlifewithAlan]

My pleasure!

[@Gillby47]

Really like this one,excellent layout with so much storage.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I like it as well Wendy!

[@neildean7515]

Really nice quality motorhome with a beautiful finish. I would have liked to see the bed. Can you not stop the video temporarily and put the beds down, it would finish it nicely. Thanks

[@VanlifewithAlan]

It is not realistic at an event like this Neil. When I am alone at a factory or showroom, I can do this, here for understandable reasons, they don't want people doing it.

[@dtollemache9441]

One of the best motor homes I’ve seen .. I only see one thing that could be improved upon and that is to change the square basin to a round unobtrusive smaller one.

[@davidtyler6329]

I've got one. The sink is ridiculous; always spills over when washing.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I like a square sink!

[@geraldshearing2531]

You should have them Built-in Canada you should make a dealership here for those it'll be a great idea

[@dtollemache9441]

The most common sense lay out that I have ever seen with the most storage space.

[@christineparsons1316]

Very nice motor home for 2 people. Shame you forgot to show us the bed.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I did not forget Christine, I need two hands plus one to hold the camera to do this.

[@tedthorngren]

Thnaks for a very nice presentation. Does it come with Alde heating also? Could you break down the electrics, what is it that makes it second to none?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Ted, it is more or less built to order so one can have whatever electronics are ordered. Alde heating comes with it!

[@davidtyler6329]

There are various options on electrics. We have an extra 120w solar panel (one is standard), lithium battery and 1700w inverter. We're almost independent of a mains electricity supply so long as its sunny.

[@tedthorngren]

@@davidtyler6329 Are the electrics same as in Frankia Platin?

[@davidtyler6329]

Pretty much. There's a basic standard but you can upgrade as much as you want.

[@Ruthie888]

There's nothing like this in the US.

[@TimmysFavs]

I like the motorhome layout and it's clear it's a quality one but I don't like the dark wood finish, it always seems oppressive and would look brighter and appear the interior would appear larger if the wood finish was lighter.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

There is a huge choice of wood colours Tim!

[@TimmysFavs]

@@VanlifewithAlan I appreciate that there is a large choice Alan but thought the manufacturer's would want to show their products at their best? Perhaps it's me?

[@davidtyler6329]

@@TimmysFavs The white cupboard and drawer fronts help to brighten the interior.

[@kerriebailey8459]

Where to sleep?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

There is a bed above the cockpit Kerrie, I could not take it down owing to time restrictions at a trade fair.

[@philipdoyle7037]

You missed the large rear door to the garage

[@VanlifewithAlan]

It was locked Philip.

[@jaaguke]

Try turning on the flash in filmin.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

You want me to try flashing whilst filming?

[@jaaguke]

@@VanlifewithAlan Yes. Then you can also look in dark cabinets. And the movie is also of better quality.

[@robertlynn7332]

I'm not sure what to gain by not just having a normal door to close off the bathroom/dressing room. All of the folding panels to separate it off seem unwieldy to me.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

In some models they would probably break after a bit of use but these look sturdy enough.

[@stephenbrown9400]

I was going to do a dislike for this vid as the van is one of the best shown and is completely unaffordable in my world. Maybe in 10 years on the used market it could be a choice 👍up anyways

[@VanlifewithAlan]

It is very rare to see a used Frankia Stephen. I saw a used Frankia pick up on sale in Germany from 1988 last month!

[@Peddster1]

Hey :) Why do you always release your videos as a premiere? Do you have any benefits? For me it just means i see that you will release a video in 10 hours and i will never see it, since by then the other 200+ subscriptions i have will have released a video and yours will be buried.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

There is a benefit for those that want to ask questions about a vehicle in real time. Furthermore, it would be just as buried under the other 200 plus subscriptions if I did not release it as a premiere.

[@keithblackmore4285]

Arnt you fed up of thinking your the biggest in motorhomes! YOU ARE NOT!!

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Who is that comment aimed at?
