Malibu I4441 LE motorhome tour

The Malibu I4441 LE, a 665cm long van has over 700kg of payload and is fully integrated. It is my favourite van in the Malibu range - find out why in the video!
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 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.

I really, really like this one! (the first without the dropdown bed)

[@sensoki1]

I love how the bathroom sink swivels out of the way to give you more room to shower.

[@aprilasbahr]

This is absolutely perfect and the lighting is so bright and uplifting. I prefer the other one with all those storage cabinets.

[@hankcuccina5260]

If only we had access to this van in our country, very noice indeed.

[@pamelakilponen3682]

I like this one too. Have you seen Leisure Travel Vans from Canada? Wish they were here in Europe, Love the Murphy bed version.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I have never physically seen one!

[@annic7995]

Don't worry about mistakes or no mistakes, all of your videos are perfekt! 😺

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thank you Anni - that is very nice to read!

[@justbelieve7529]

Gosh wish these were in Canada, totally love the split bed with stair storage and closets on either side, and lift up feet sections of the mattresses. Brilliantly designed !!! They should have the middle bed section lift up like the feet section, so it reveals a top step, to continue to step up on, with a larger rectangle pop open sky light, allows a couple to sit up on the roof, watch a sunrise with a cup of coffee, or a sunset with a night cap = ) ...

[@pissedagainlikeiwas]

super nice

[@krtong]

yess!!! thank you!

[@Vantasticviews2]

Sweet!

[@mem5922]

That's not a regular sized motorcycle. That answers my question about how tall (or should I say short) the storage area is.

[@amanitamuscaria7500]

Yes please

[@frankn2720]

that's perfect for the gap year camping life I have in mind.. Alan, How much would it be worth it if I re-sold it after a year of intensive usage? What do you think? Btw, I'd rather have an extra bed and get organized with less storage space.. I'm a minimalist. Cheers!

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Frank, get a used vehicle. Depreciation is not a problem with motorhomes, it is not comparable to depreciation with cars BUT new vans are also minimalist - and if you are a minimalist then your van needs some extra equipment such as strong battery, good solar etc. Get a van where the previous owner installed these features!

[@Dtp2296]

I don't understand why that says equivalent to £63k but i can't find a used one for under £100k... tax? Covid?

[@joemarino3833]

Hey Alan, how much does a overhead bed weight approximately.?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I don't know exactly - someone told me 50kg, but I would have thought closer to 30kg.

[@groteabbafan]

Is this one to buy in the Netherlands I like this one very much

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Yes there are dealers in NL.

[@gooble69]

To give you and idea of prices, €73k = $120AUD. To buy something like this in Australia would cost over $200k AUD, so this is cheap!

[@lisa-ti4cn]

Why do they all have to put a none option lockers above the bed as you can't sit up in bed it's very annoying.

[@johnrocker2986]

I have motorcycles and trying to put them in 95% of Motorhome garages is not easy, one slip and you've had it £1000's of damage, you need to almost stand over a motorcycle to maintain balance which the heights of these garages don't allow and lastly I liked to know if the anchor points are man enough during an accident too stop 200 + kilos motorcycle from destroying the motorhome?

[@liefung6438]

john rocker Hi John, i think i saw someone put a slide with a something that can hold and make your motorcycles stand steady on the motorhome garage. Sorry if i am wrong. 😊

[@tp7485]

Lots of good design features... but I got the impression everything’s made of balsa wood!

[@victoriaculbertson9388]

Vulnerability goes up with where you can drive. You can pay extra for an inexpensive spot because of brand labeling or size restrictions, even in a sparsely rented lot. Older roads to experience are off limits. Those delightful little towns can’t accommodate the scenic boat drive through. So go smaller. The unfair class discrimination is not very polite even between travelers. What is truly helpful is to have an all the time bed, a toilet that isn’t sized for a hobbit with room to get out, a good enough wet room with hard plastic doors. Solar setup for the built in dehumidifier and the air conditioner. Since I’m dreaming I will throw in an automatic transmission with hill hold. A floor you can get to or get down from without killing yourself. Under floor storage is for people who enjoy bending over or getting on a replaced knee. I want to travel but my medical issues say NO! So please Alan help me find the perfect fit.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Victoria the problem with vans is what is available. The fact is there is not the choice that may appear from watching my channel. So what is available locally to you then look it up on KZbin to see what reviewers think of it!

Hi Alan....what is.the Prices of this model of Malibu in US.$...!?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I can't say Miguel. The prices I give are on the road in the country where I am. So for export it is minus EU value added tax (around 20% depending on the country) plus freight plus import taxes plus local purchase tax. I am sorry but I cannot be more precise than that!

Alan Heath .....in Euros ..!?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

It starts at around EUR60k.

Alan Heath ....ok, thanks

[@victoriaculbertson9388]

These integrated motor homes are to big. With constant targeting on where or if you can park. Vonora bowl

[@wilspu5590]

Just a van luv
