[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks guys. I never understood the less traction in snow with rear wheel drive. I've had both types and found rear wheel to be better in snow as long as there is enough weight over the wheels. Only accident I've ever had was with front wheel drive on snow.

[@flybyairplane3528]

annette fournier hello,and yes I have owned both, but as said with RWD, only IF you have enough weight in rear, , and I have also had problems with FWD, , a given road I drive on for the past 50 years, came round this curve in road 100yds from a traffic light, next thing,,I was 90^ to the road, backed up and went along, then had SNOW TYRES from another car put on the FRONT. for the rest of winter.

With winter tires and that’s a heavy vehicle ,your pickup truck if it was a 2 wheel drive rear drive , snow can be dicy ,growing up in the states ,front wheel drive was almost unheard of until the 80’s ,so weight and winter tires will make all the difference.

Particularly since there are two different types of gallon!

[@andrewjditton]

Hi, the review was sponsored by Bürstner UK, so the measurements given are primarily for a UK audience. Were it sponsored by Bürstner Germany, I'd give litres/km. I think you will find you can easily find a conversion online. I've never had a German KZbinr give us miles per gallon! ;)

[@chrisdenison6550]

Great blog as usual! 2 questions? (1) we have 2 children 11 & 14 would the additional bed up front still made it two crowded in your view? (2) when you exposed the hidden shower - was there a curtain or hidden door at the front to complete the enclosure? Cheers Chris D

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Chris, IMHO the front bed would be too small for two teenagers - and it would only continue to get more cramped as they grow. There is an optional front double so check that out with a local dealer who might have one in. There was indeed a curtain to complete the shower, and what is great is that it keeps the towel dry that is hanging on the back of the door, so you can use it in complete privacy. Cheers!

Great review. Couldn’t afford it, but I looked at the rear wheel arch and wondered about the clearance upon a wheel change. Apart from that and the overhang, a nice bit of kit.

[@CaravanVlogger]

Great review Mr D. Good to see James earning his trip too :-) I personally wouldn't mind paying for quality, however, they need to increase the power sockets and I'd expect Alde heating too. Oh, one question I had, did it have cruise control? I have a Mercedes car and like the brand, so I'm a little biased. It seemed to have an old-style dashboard, many of the newer Mercs (cars) are fully electronic dashes - just an observation... Anyway, thanks for sharing enjoyed it. Graham

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Graham, yes it did have cruise control, but with the auto box and density of traffic I hardly used it. Cheers!

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

Great review, very thorough :) Electric parking brake in our XC60, took a bit of getting used to (trusting it) at first but extremely helpful, especially for hill starts in a big vehicle and having now swapped into a T6 loving the DSG gearbox (usually hate autos!) even nicer to tow with and as you say plenty to think about in a larger vehicle so more relaxing with a good auto box. Now back to a conventional handbrake in the T6 but it’s an auto so no issues for my little arms - would be a BIG problem with a manual box though hence why we went with the DSG! Excellent as always :)

[@flybyairplane3528]

Mum On a Mission hello, but back in the day, there were very few automatics, and if you took your license in an auto, they put a RED STAMP on your license AUTOMATICS ONLY, my brother & I practiced ON A HILL, put a MATCH BOX 1” behind a tyre, get in start it and moved off without crushing it , That was in the 1950s in JAMAICA BWI, there were zero guardrails, & you could lose it off the road 60 feet down, or more as was the case of a BRITISH LORRY DOWNHILL went off road, , 70 feet down 28 lives , I never forgot as they were a BAND, having just played at our boarding school that very day.!

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

@@flybyairplane3528 still true today, in the UK anyway, I can't speak for elsewhere, if you take a test in an auto you can only ever drive an auto and of course very important that people are capable of hill starting and all other skills properly. When I was learning to drive in the UK we were all heavily steered towards manuals for similar reasons as you've highlighted.

[@conifer8026]

Would you care to comment on the position of the switches for the lighting? There are multiple possibilities for lighting which you did mention but not the accessibility of their switches. As usual, a good review. The roller blinds seems to be horizontally striped. Did they have a hit and miss action to vary the amount of obscuration?

[@andrewjditton]

Fair point. The switches were in differing places to allow operation wherever you might be - some by the door, some by the dinette, some by the bed etc.

Very comprehensive Andrew, thank you. I have an older Burstner and boy it squeaks, though it varies. According to what I don't know! BTW, Thetford toilet and the flush only went half way round too and so a more powerful pump was fitted solving that. I suppose the downside is that it goes through more water when showering etc.

The niggles that you highlighted are easily addressed if Burstner take them on board Andrew. There's no doubt the quality and construction are top notch, but so they should be at that price.

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Andy! Southdowns Motorhomes down in Portsmouth have sourced an alternative that isn't £110!

[@namespacetoosmall]

Lovely review, thanks Andrew! I'm surprised at the fuel economy, though - I have a self-built van conversion based on the new VW Crafter and I manage to average 35-40mpg, mostly on a mixture of french and german mountain roads and motorways, with 177 bhp and an 8-speed automatic. And that's also at almost 3.5t (loaded). It's not as if you have a lead foot, I think. :)

[@IverKnackerov]

From my experience, the Thetford issue is the converter (Burstner in this case) not fitting a powerful enough water pump. Uprating my pump fixed the problem in my van

[@annettefournier9655]

With the conversion the price for similar Mercedes based motor van is about the same. Though people have reported various failures. Thanks for the close up on the shower room. 😉😁💖

[@campcookhenry]

Oh for the states the weight wouldn’t be a problem especially if you’re getting 30 mpg

[@Mal_Outdoors]

Be aware a US gallon is smaller than an Imperial gallon so you would need to convert the number. 30 uk mpg = 25 US mpg

[@lubinlud8855]

Hi. Enjoyed your film. I wondered what a blanking point is? Is it an auxiliary socket type of thing? We're very new to the camper van world, so new we have yet to buy one! Regards Luke

[@Simon67316]

Not the van for me but the quality looks great! You showed this perfectly when you pointed out there were no rattles, something I imagine is not that easy to achieve unless you're a top notch company. Did it have Adaptive cruise control, if so did you use it? Thanks for another brill review Andrew!

[@andrewjditton]

I found with the auto box I never found the need to invoke the cruise control. I tried it, but found with the density of traffic most the time it was easier to 'just drive'. Cheers.

Absolutely awesome review as usual Andrew.

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you!

[@hymervangogh4971]

Thank you Andrew - very comprehensive and one to go onto our radar when we review our situation in 3 or so years time. We'd probably look at the 660 as I need a bed of around 200cm length being a tall man. One question - how much headroom over the dinette do you lose with the pull down bed? Do you think Burstner will take your feedback and incorporate when they update it? How practical do you consider are those rear shelves as opposed to having more lockers? Thanks again for the review. Russell

[@motorhomequest]

In my Bessacarr 442, my Thetford toilet flush goes all the way round the bowl. I did the same test you did in one of your previous reviews.

[@andrewjditton]

Don't know why I'm getting vans with such a weak flush...

[@nigelseviour2830]

Hi Andrew what worries me is spending a lot of money on a lovely vehicle like this that may be not to be able to be used or resold in five years As electrical is becoming the future ;would you consider this as a full proof model for the future. Please what are your views Your review was thorough and informative , but when you did the review on the electric powered motor home, it has left me in two minds on what to purchase in the future.

Watching your video on the Burstner I didn’t realise about the C1 driving licence. But reading up about it I see that now I am nearly 70 it has been taken off my new driving licence. If I should want a C1 I would have to take a new driving test and every 3 years after that.

[@andrewjditton]

Sadly yes, that is currently the case. I have been helping clients wanting Mercedes motorhomes but under 3.5t for that very reason.

[@G-ra-ha-m]

Interesting review! I've always liked the Mercs but always run away screaming 'mummy!, mummy!' from the price, but it does look good, Mercedes knows how to build a good platform, can't fault their engines etc. I like Southdowns BTW, a great showroom and place to browse. You can also overnight there to get an early start as they provide hookup. Burstner do some great PVCs at good prices, 'Harmony Line' is IIRC the trim level. Thetford toilets have a finer nozzle to fit for a proper flush BTW, it needs fitting by Burstner or the dealer, so it may be that. Good point about the shower tray overlap, it's so effective and easy to use gravity rather than sealant and the only way that lasts - in houses as well as vans! The sparsity of sockets and the one under the table appears to be a German thing, I got a short lead 4 way extension gang for mine, some foam pads on the bottom and it lives in the van now. I don't have a heated floor either so I cut out a nice piece of carpet to shape, much warmer on the feet now, should be standard really. My main issue about that van IMO however is not having a rear window, even a little one would do for a peek out of the back at night or in the morning, sometimes some of the best views are in that direction! It's not just that van either, lots of posh ones have the same issue too, it's always nice to see out!

[@andrewjditton]

Always good to hear a 'real life' recommendation for a good dealer. And yes, a rear window would be nice, I agree.

[@andrewjditton]

[@larshelmin]

Rear wheel drive would probably give at least as good traction than front wheel drive since I guesstimate that about half of the motorhomes weight will be on the rear axle. But most traction is found by the right foot sensitivity anyway...

[@katcankan7129]

A wonderful review Andrew

[@hywel3143]

Hi Andrew. We bought a Lyseo TD Harmony Line in June, 2021 so thought I would provide some notes after four trips away, since it's very similar to the M Harmony Line except we have a Fiat chassis (I know that you know this, just added in for other readers ;-) The Fiat has been reliable and a good drive, but the plated tyre pressure of 79 PSI is bonkers at our mass in use of around 3350 kgs. The Michelin tyres are only rated up to 69 PSI (4.75 kpa on the tyre wall at 118 kph). It just doesn't make sense. I note that the M Harmony chassis is 70 PSI rear and 55 PSI front, which seems much more realistic. 68 PSI all round seems to work fine for us on the Fiat. Web discussions about Fiat Ducato Camper tyre pressures tend to have a larger word count than the Lord of the Rings, so I'll leave it there ;-). On balance I'm glad we went for the Fiat, mainly because of the issues you outline involved in owning a motorhome above 3500 kgs. Fuel economy is 30-32 mpg average, which I am pleased with. The relatively compact size of the van at 2.3 x 6.99 metres means it's an easy drive, and the fact that it is just under 3 metres means that we avoid being in a much more expensive price bracket for the péage. There are no squeaks or rattles on the move, and both build quality and quality of materials used are excellent. The control panel still has the luminescence of a lighthouse, but three 23mm silver stickers have sorted this out... The light/torch costs £99 its delivery and VAT, so I've not yet bothered to get one, or the posh magnetic glasses. They could have bundled them for the price! Insulation is really good, provided of course that you use a cab window insulator. The Remis blinds provide excellent light blocking for sleeping, even in high Summer. The beds are really comfortable, both the rear fixed beds and the drop down bed. In cold weather the warm air ducts have micro cuts in them including all round the bed area, which provides a gentle warmth through the night. The Truma 6E heating is powerful and, on eco mode, the fan is quiet enough at night even for light sleepers. The toilet flush is fine, with full bowl rinsing (!) at least in our van. The shower is brilliant, both in design with domestic sized plug holes and the swing door, and the power of the shower. The lighting a fantastic, both for dull days and for night time use. We had rear steadies fitted after market, because as former caravaners we could no get used to the van moving when someone entered etc. The van needs an extra socket around the dinette area, but overall it works for us because of the number of USBs. Nothing has gone wrong thus far, which is very impressive. However, Bürstner installed the wrong pivoting cover for the sink such that the sink is still partly covered even when swung out fully, and following a warranty claim, they sent Emm-Bee the wrong replacement for our van, so we are still having to twist round to do the washing up in the sink. I would have preferred a simple lift off cover, as the M Harmony has. It seems from the Bürstner owners Facebook group that tens of vans were supplied with these covers and many customers are finding it a slow process to get correct replacements, which is disappointing and unacceptable. Sorry for the essay, but I thought you would be interested in the detail. Overall our experience closely matches your own review, so kudos and thanks again for steering us towards buying this exceptional motorhome :-)

Hi Andrew, have loved watching your review on the burstnër I wanted to get your opinion on something if I could (well my partner does) What in your opinion is the best in heating/water system We are very torn as need heating to stay warm and retain heat and water to be longer than a couple mins before going cold we have a very old motorhome (21yrs olds)with carver water and real old truma heating that not very good Opinion greatly appreciated as not many motorhomes on 3.5 with aldé heating in Thanks Pauline 🙌

[@andrewjditton]

If there was one answer there would only be one heating system! It depends on your needs. Alde is my preferred, but even then you can have a basic or an advanced system (e.g fan boost, Alde Arctic etc.) Otherwise check out Truma or Whale as both manufacturers offer a wide array of products to boost your heating and hot water.

The 690G on the Sprinter rear wheel drive is a good driving performer. The turning radius is great, compare to the fwd sprinter and others. The rear wheel drive gives better traction, because most of the weight of this RV is in the rear and not in the front. The limited slip differential works well on newer 907 rwd chassis. Most RV manufacture use the fwd Mercedes Sprinter chassis. The Hymer group offers still a few rwd Sprinter RV 's for Europe. Mercedes offers only RWD and AWD chassis for the North America marked, with a reason . . .

I live on Canada....Do U think evety lives in the Uk, or France. We use dollars....

[@Erin-Thor]

Just ask google or Siri how much 78k pounds are in dollars and they will respond with $100,450 US. Give or take a few cents. That’s 143,843.32 in Canadian dollars.

What a peculiar comment. This is a British KZbin channel, reviewing a European van. Pounds and euros are the order of the day. If you want to know what that is in your local currency, google it!

[@Erin-Thor]

Vandemonium - Why do I have this weird deja vu moment? Weird...

[@flybyairplane3528]

Erin Thor hello, there is a FREE APP for your phone called’ XE’ it is a currency calculator for so many currencies, I love using it for things like this , but now, you can even use it to FORWARD money ! CheersFrom NJ USA🇺🇸

[@Erin-Thor]

Leighton Samms - Yes, but using that requires you to leave the app, manually enter the numbers, select the currency, and then select the convert to currency... and I’m so lazy! Why do that when you can just say ‘Hey Siri, how much is 78,000 pounds in Canadian dollars... she reads you the answer... and you’re back where you were. 😁 Thanks for the info though! Edit, Cheers from DALLAS, TX.

Fabulous motorhome if they could just bring it down by £ 70,000.....

Waste water tank “insulted” and heated 🤣😜

There isn’t anything that even comes close to this layout, 80000 US dollars is a bargain

[@flybyairplane3528]

Blimey £75000 for a Pokey little camper van, you could buy a very nice new car and caravan for that with all its advantages
