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, Benimar, 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 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.

That’s my favourite layout. I love the lounge. And you’re right, it’s a British thing.

[@annic7995]

The lounge is perfekt to see a lovely sunset with the doors open.

[@lynnelynne6685]

Hi Annie,, add a tarp side ways over open back doors and screen netting down the front/back. have a little sun room. lol

[@jaybenny7719]

Good the kids can cause havok in the rear lounge while I chill in the front. Enough space not to feel cramped. If I had the money I’d be buying that model now.

[@trafficsnitch3505]

I like the rear lounge layout. I only need a bed at night and it seems sensible to be able to tuck it away.

[@judit1783]

BTW, love your videos and dry humor.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thanks Judi.

[@stefanomaizza6103]

I’ve bought this van: it’s fantastic. The lounge is an interesting way to use the rear space for living. If you want more space for luggage, you can transform the lounge into a bed (a large bed 190*165 cm) and use the space under the bed like a traditional Van.

[@carlyndolphin]

I’ve owned 2 campers with a fixed rear bed (Hymercar and Sven Hiden) and one with a rear lounge (Wildax Europa). The rear lounge is great, can sit in the back with your feet up and relax.

[@DavidT-Mallorca]

I do like the toilet/shower layout. Love the rear lounge, although I wouldn't need the front dinette. Just seems to be adding extra length to the van for no reason. But as you say, each to their own.

[@josh_bfc_2769]

Fantastic layout. Gas bottle small but if it had diesel heating and solar panels you could do some wild camping for sure. Love the separate shower and toilet facilities. Would suit my family needs for sure

[@fight2race810]

Thank you great Video....HOPE THE OTHER BRANDS WILL FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE AND PROVIDE US WITH SIMILAR OPTIONS AND BETTER LAYOUTS😊😀

[@marklittler784]

Bed for two lounge for eight, that lounge makes it a potentially more relaxing van to be in especially whilst travelling in countries with a wide range of weathers to experience.

[@stuspawton]

Oh my god that fridge is perfect for people on a diet How could someone build a vehicle as a display piece to walk though but not check to see if the fridge door opens. Amazing

[@marklittler784]

"If you want to open the fridge this might not be the van for you !" 😂😃😂😃😂😃

[@judit1783]

Take a look at the United States Unity rear lounge. It will make you love rear lounge with Murphy bed. I would like the Unity with the Euro drop down bed as well.

[@steadycamuk1]

Alan , the reason us Brits like a rear lounge is not because of the rain. It rains quite a bit in Germany where we spend many weeks in the summer. Difference in Europe to UK is that just because it may rain one day it does not mean its cold, it can be very barmy but its raining - so it is very suitable to sit under the wind out awning sheltered from the rain be be in a warm and pleasant enviorment. When were abroad we very rarely sit inside the van. In the UK however if the day is not bright and sunny it is usually overcast or raining and the temperature has dropped markedly especially after August or before June, therefore on any break there is a fair chance that quite a few days will be at the very least fresh and likely to be damp and cold. Hence the reason lounges and fully enclosed awning for caravans in the UK.

[@robertcoren7318]

Interesting that the van is NOT designed for long term use. In US, many people have taken to living in their van full-time in very similar vehicles.

[@federicom2702]

One of the best

[@marklittler784]

Looks like value for money for camper vaners.

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

But, if you are looking for the van life, he said the shower wasn't good for daily use.

[@mikedevere]

Look forward to it Alan. Nice hook😉👍

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thanks 👍

[@sim6699]

Seams best suited to a family of four people

[@octect]

Thanks for the video. So, this person sent you an Email stating that these vans are not for living. Just leisure. So, what does that mean? Uncomfortable for long time living, or just that the build will not last long enough if used a lot? It seems rather important if one is going to invest ca 60.000 Euros in this.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I would agree, it is rather important!

[@Le_Corse_Belge]

Hi Alan, thx for the presentation of the dreamer Van 👍, just 1 question how big is the rear lounge ? What I like is that the price is still ok for that huge thing

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I don't know exactly but it is at least four square metres!

[@meenam300zx]

Thank you Alan for slowly torturing me with these beautiful vans. As a weekender, this is exactly what I want for the price 57,000. Considering last weekend I saw an ugly Tesla model 3 with the same price tag and a Toyota Highlander SUV, this is a bargain. Now I will continue to curse every American manufacturers to go bankrupt so that we can finally import one of these beauties.

[@jack6359-j4w]

Hi Alan, thanks for your videos !! Love them. So insightful 👍 ( Better than some reps 🤣🤣 ) My question if I may, we love this style of van for bed space and rear lounger but the leisure usage .... does that mean living in this for a month is not the best idea ? And do you know what maybe suitable for long term use but compact for family of 4 ? Thank you kindly for your time. 😁

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Rapido, the manufacturer, gave me an e-mail that their vehicles are not sold for long term use. I think the best thing is to rent whatever is available for a month, see if you like it and then decide! If it were my decision I would get one made to order!

[@rko5199]

He Alan uncle how are you I love your video

[@earlpowell3179]

3 option but all will be black high shine outside

[@Rafael-ri2ft]

Ironically called the living van but the manufacturer recommends not for daily living!

[@michaelv2218]

What’s the point of building anything that has limited use?

[@3dmixer552]

Separate toilet and shower is such a waste in a camper van.

[@rudolfblr]

I do hate people opening cupboards and doors and NOT closing them. The same as litter thrown around...

[@steve86yeah]

So the bed is made for Chinese people or is it a proper bed

[@warecho]

Alan, the great man opening every single corner of all vans, could not open the fridge there? Alan is great, this van is not.

[@johnbarclay88]

I'm not sure the bed would be good for anyone at all claustrophobic.

[@joseaugustolambertcerqueir1796]

Lounges, specially face-to-face, are stupid waste of precious space.

[@carlyndolphin]

I’ve owned 2 campers with a fixed rear bed and one with a rear lounge. The rear lounge is great, can sit in the back with your feet up and relax

[@gordonbyatt7846]

Have a wild axs. Europe. With a rear. Lounge witch is really good
