Fresh Fun FAMILY Motorhome for £60k - Joa Camp 75T

[@andrewjditton]

If Pilote is the Mercure Hotel, Joa Camp has got to be the Ibis! Bright, comfortable, and everything you need but nothing you don't need.

Has your voice changed? Seems a bit late for puberty. 🤣

So much like the P650 Pilote Pacific which we own, very similar fixtures and fittings as you would expect. Like the Pilote equivalent, it would seem that the Joa is lacking in power points. The Pilote P650C which we own like I say is very similar and comes in at 2800kgs, so there is plenty of payload in the vehicle after the essentials. There can be issues with the seals and condensation around the garage doors. The Joa looks to have the same doors. One of the best features of these is the fridge, oven on GB packs, and the neat 2 burner hob which most people could probably manage with. Remember the lack of cupboards all around the bedroom help with the weight. Great video, Andrew. For anyone that is interested I have done a video on the Pilote.

Thanks for the info!

Hi Andrew, I really like this motorhome it's just a nice size, love the layout, the grey upholstery & touches of teal. I always love watching your videos in particular Caravan/ Motorhome & Campervan reviews. Lovely to see you,thank you for sharing! Lots of love to You & Dougal 💜💖🐾🐾XX

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks so much!

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM Oh yes, I actually prefer this very pared back look, as it allows for proper personalisation when one moves in! I am going to be keeping this one in mind for that day when... YAM xx

[@paula.jackson5463]

so nice, and the shot of Dougal and ........

[@caravaningincarathevan467]

Nice. Great for family get aways

[@anneshirley1748]

Very nice, I prefer the smaller motorhomes too which is why I suppose I like the panel van conversions! The lounge area never looks comfortable enough! Anyway, still enjoyed the video, I always do! So happy you & your brother had some special moments together, it was quite touching what you said in the newsletter! Please don't keep us in suspense too long about your 'news'!! Love Anne xxx 😘🐕🥰

[@Justin52wales]

Wow that’s great value

[@WanderWiseley]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!😎

[@andrewjditton]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@davidbrodie5044]

I really like this one, simple and stylish.

[@marcindomik8975]

Very nice van. Just one question: Have you ever reviewed a van or motor home that has seats for rear passengers actually comfortable? These do not look very comfy… Good to see you again :) !

[@andrewjditton]

Good question! Only one springs to mind - it was a Challenger a few years ago at the Düsseldorf Show. It has two doors to the Cabin and single passenger seats either side. Mind you, whenever I've carried passengers in a van conversion or motorhome they assure me that they are comfortable enough, but it's never been for more than an hour.

[@travelcampervansandmore]

8:34 I too thought that was a hole!

[@andrewjditton]

You weren't the only one... :-/

[@paoloallen]

Yet another Fab-U-Lous video Andrew, really enjoyed it... love Paolo and Rog x

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks so much!

[@cedarcottagefarm2885]

I like it!

[@momarsden3053]

Top class review again Andrew! 😌👍

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you so much 👍

[@IngramCars]

Lovely!

[@LisaMarli]

I like it. Neutral works. You can add pizzazz. I do like the teal accent wall in the lounge. The two separate sleeping areas in that short a vehicle are nice. $81000 (I did the math) is inexpensive for quality class B Plus. Hope they come here.

[@jimarnott9593]

Just a shame there is no automatic gearbox option listed.

[@anitajohannadrost]

👍😁🐿🦔🍀Thank you!

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

Very, very good, yes it’s a little too IKEA for some but the basics are absolutely spot on and personalisation is easy!

[@andrewjditton]

I totally agree!

[@colinmew6695]

Ok but where does the dish drainer fit cooker one side wall the other side of sink?

[@drivingthefrontier]

There is no room for a dish drainer, sadly.

[@tedfoster295]

If this van is configured as 3.5t version there is very little payload when all the usual extras and packs are added

[@drivingthefrontier]

The van is a 3.5t chassis, yes but weighs in around 2800kgs before you add your 'stuff', so there is actually more payload than you think. You rarely get the actual unloaded weights of vehicles on manufacturer's websites, they just tell you the revenue weight of the vehicle.

[@alisonlee3314]

Do they make a smaller version?

[@drivingthefrontier]

Yes there is a 70 version

[@davidmbell]

“Functional” I’d go for. Can be easily personalised to make it your own/more homely. This offers so much compared to others. Make a good hire vehicle?

[@drivingthefrontier]

Hi it is a very innovative vehicle but the construction and the relatively low quality of fixtures and fittings would in my view render this vehicle as a poor hire vehicle due to the cost of replacing fitments and the lack of durability.

[@yayasdt2738]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@tonysutton6559]

I really "F"ing like this funky, fun, etc motorhome. Unlike so many continental motorhomes it has an oven and grill which means that I could live with just two burners. The only negatives that I can see are wiring issues. It would have made more sense to put the USB charge points in the box and have a couple of 230v sockets there as well. The 230v socket by the door is a bit of a worry as it is next to the grab handle and somebody could pull a kettle full of boiling water over themselves.

[@andrewjditton]

Completely agree Tony. Thanks for watching!

[@ShiresMatt]

I don’t know many families with £60k to blow on a motorhome. Come to think I don’t know many families who can afford any kind of holiday at the moment.

[@andrewjditton]

Me neither... but they still can't make them fast enough!

[@hywel3143]

A simple, functional design, with good attention to detail. Pity about position of the socket near the kitchen on safety grounds: you would not want to plug in a kettle with children around. Personally I would have preferred no oven, to increase payload even further. Reminiscent of an Etrusco, Carado or Sunlight. Designed not to generate envy on the campsite but to allow you to travel and holiday well, which is the main point after all...

[@andrewjditton]

Absolutely!

[@birdingbilly]

According to their own website it has a payload og 135kg on a 3,500kg chasis. In a word useless. Fit a roof bed and an oven and that falls to 87kg !

[@drivingthefrontier]

It is a 3.5t chassis but the actual vehicle weight is around 2800kg so there is quite a bit of payload actually. The problem with most of the manufacturer websites is that they just mention 3500kg chassis or 4200 chassis etc but when you weight the vehicles separately on both axels you get the true picture. So the Joa could have possibly 650-700kgs payload.

[@birdingbilly]

@@drivingthefrontier The manufacturers website actually says "Payload 135kg" that is there own website !

[@drivingthefrontier]

@@birdingbilly you must put a link up as they are over 675kg upwards!

[@barryyoung]

Looks like former Soviet Union prison cell…. Bloody horrible
