Yep, no idea why this popped up - but I am glad it did! Never seen one of these before. I thought it was just a CAD model on the thumbnail, but to see that this actually exists brought joy to my engineering heart.

Yeah no doubt.. Wow.. Sure wouldn't want to recommend President Trumps Accomplishments aye.. But 8 month old material.. Now that's worth spreading. KZbin sucks anymore. Wish I had a place to go to that actually valued America and our values. Instead of the bull shit we get from it.

British engineering at it's finest

[@fredflintstone2234]

T Man VW is a GERMAN company.

[@BPJJohn]

@@fredflintstone2234 Who modified it? You guessed it, Brits!

[@RickDeckardMemories]

​@@BPJJohn I googled it. This idea went away after two prototypes were assembled. It is not clear if these two prototypes were ever made road-worthy (legal to drive). The company just quietly dissappeared. Their website and Facebook are still up, but inquiries are not being answered, and last posts were made years ago. So... methinks it's not the best example of British engineering 🤷🏼

[@GoracingPlevent]

Mega praktyczna konstrukcja, w sam raz na długie podróże :)

This is the coolest camper I've ever seen.

[@vinayak186f3]

The presenter sounds so calm and humble

[@stevenamoah9849]

I love this guys smile it's mental

[@BosonCollider]

I love how well it blends in when it's not extended, and still offers sleeping space for two people. That's good if your roadtrip involves staying a few days in a city and you don't want to wake up to a cop. It'd be better if it had the option for two more seats though. Maybe detachable/foldup seats in that big storage area in the beginning. EDIT: checked their website. They recently added a model that seats 5 people. Also the price is so high that you could get a decent conventional camper and a small size regular car instead.

[@gforgeorge4082]

i wonder if YT is selling recommendations to companies

[@savagewolfy3947]

make the bench seat against the wall in the back move like a back and fourth like the blade on a pocket knife so it can be moved into position behind the two front seats and with seat belts and you will have a normal amount of safe seating for people while driving.

You can sleep four, but can only travel with two? That speaks for itself on how NOT practical that thing is. «ok kids. Mom and dad are taking the van. You kids take your bicycles and join us a week later. We'll have places for you to sleep.» lol

[@dapenguin2]

Moi MacArt What solution do you propose for it? Also there is really nothing stopping another 2 people just sitting in the back, even if there are no seatbelts.

[@moimacart]

No seat belts is really about the most stupid idea I've seen in a moving vehicle. And it is against the law here, and in a lot of countries. My suggestion would be to rethink it a little, and have to more SAFE seating. If they can come up with something as genius as what they have done so far. They can come up with two more seats. The design just doesn't seem complete yet. And yes, sleeping more people than it can safely and legally carry isn't that bright. But maybe is it something for swingers? Who knows? :-)

[@dapenguin2]

Moi MacArt I wasn't saying the company would do it, I just meant if the people driving were okay with it its not like there aren't other seats. Of course if they came across a cop that would end in a jiffy.

[@TessRandom]

[@Italiansupercarvideo]

The idea is nice, but in my opinion, there are some not insignificant drawbacks. Remember to carefully clean the outside because otherwise, all the dirt is brought inside the van, right in the cavity where the whole system flows. I give an example. I have the back completely out because I'm still. I am in a camping area under some trees. It starts to rain, and the leaves fall. The retractable rear gets all wet, the leaves stick to the roof, and so does the dirt. I must remember that before closing I have to clean everything. But if this is not possible, why am I still in the heavy pouring rain and have to leave? I find myself carrying the dirt inside the van. Nice idea, but it leaves me with some doubts.
