Karmann-Mobil has opted for what it believes to be a elegant interior and it is done this by making it brighter and that is despite the dark wood tinting in the furniture. This includes, among other things, a high proportion of components that are completely white in color, such as wood. the kitchen unit or the upper cabinet flaps, a 900mm wide living room window and the bright LED lighting throughout the vehicle.
In the lounge the wall covering has a leather look and in the sleeping area there is a cozy textile wall covering.
With the optional lifestyle package Davis can be further customised with glossy wall-mounted closet flaps with a wide chrome handle above the seating and a chic indirect lighting on the kitchen block and on the upper cabinets. A visually striking worktop in the kitchen and the backlit metal panel with Karmann-Mobil logo directly at the entrance increase the exclusive character. An externally accessible excerpt from the kitchen and additional storage compartments above the rear doors and above the driver's cab round off the exclusive character of the Davis lifestyle.
Other standard equipment includes LED lights with integrated switches, new upholstery with contoured seats, a stronger table top, Truma Combi 4 heater (optional diesel heater) and leather steering wheel. The concept package includes 130 hp engine, air conditioning, bike rack, awning, 120 liter diesel tank and cruise control.
The prices start from EUR40.890.
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, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow 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.

Here in the U.S., this would cost $200k and it would break down right after you left the dealer! I've seen Euro built campers made for 5' Truck beds but here in America we have 2 choices and they suck!

[@TrishBenedict]

It's nicer than my Winnebago Solis Pocket, and it costs less. And it has more - including a bathroom, which I lack.

[@tiffanystokes5509]

lol can you imagine trying to shower in that bathroom? The shower curtain would be stuck to u the entire time!!😂

[@doughaga3542]

Probably have to sit down n shower

[@VanlifewithAlan]

[@power4things]

I don't think a curtain is needed. If it's this vs. finding a 24 hour gym when off road, it'll suddenly look pretty good to you.

[@neildean7515]

A sign of the times, sell it as high as possible while you can. The cost of living is exploding in UK and Europe.. there will be many more 2nd hand cheaper Campervans/motorhomes on the market in years to come when people need to cash in

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

It’s designed so well! Thank you-

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thanks for watching Lydia!

[@seekingjoynow1722]

It's very cute. I'm in the US and I would like a small van.

[@Jonathan-ww6et]

Vosotros no se que entendéis por amplitud pero claro, desde la línea de entrada a la base de la taza del bater, la base del del baño hace 2 cm., y desde la pared de la izquierda a la base de la taza un palmo. Así pues estamos en un espacio relativamente reducido.

[@tteric67]

I would go for a second hand one, this is still so overpriced!

[@Billt-qx5qy]

Good luck finding one!

[@dawnalfonso9356]

It's perfect for one or even two . Love it. 😊

[@drgeoffangel5422]

I am absolutely sure, you could buy a small, second hand 7 seater school bus, and covert it for far less money! no more than £20K ! and have it just how you want it!

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I see a lot of people making claims like this but never seen it done in practice. Whereas we assume that a home build has 'free' labour, the parts themselves come to far more, never mind the cost of the base vehicle. Also it is not comparing like to like, the seven seater school bus will have been used extensively over the years whilst this base vehicle is new and comes theoretically with a guarantee.

[@JTSunriseMusic]

So we can live on the streets like animals. Nice

[@VanlifewithAlan]

How many animals are living in your street?

[@jennywalsh479]

Nice vans but would not buy one unless there was fly/mosquito screens which is essential. Compact but for one person would be ok.

[@ChloeBensonBeautyBoxes]

Good price

[@joycewedel9084]

You need to show USA prices.

[@karenskinner9817]

Hap hap happy birthday Dianne, I hope you had the most wonderful day. Xx🎉🎂🥳🎁

[@a.life.reimagined]

Would be perfect for me and my dog. Did the bed frame get bent? Probably should figure that one out.

[@neoaliphant]

i think id rather have bulwark storage than the headspace....

[@roslyndrake6702]

I would definitely buy this for less than 60,000 euros but in the USA this same unit would definitely be over 200,000 dollars and horribly made with zero warranty service!!!! Therefore, I will wait.

[@heatherturner2366]

Any chance you could post the American sizes for those of us on this side of the pond

[@LongBranchAlice]

Pls.only show RV campers that we can get in the USA!!!

When was this video shot? You say it’s August but the video is only 7 days old??

As I said in August, it is Caravan Salon, so it is August 2023.

[@suelizzi1764]

Wow..great price for what you get

[@RDuude]

I get they're really catered to families, but damn if I could find something without a second row of seats cause I just need something for me and a couple of dogs lol

[@travelcampervansandmore]

Look at Pilote and Robeta if they're sold where you live.

There are a number of companies doing layouts like this including Karmann Mobil.

[@JW-hf9ev]

GRECH RV the best one imho is the STRADA ION, all battery on MB 3.5 turbocharged diesel and it’s totally AWESOME….. 2022 got mine and zero issues. Pricy but worth it big time.

[@lorenzoskyhawk]

60 grand!!!! 😱😱😱😱 what's relative about 60 grand.....

[@BillLaBrie]

Average car price is $45k. Finance another $15k and you get a house, too.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

The current market sucks! It's still too much money. If everyone quit buying these vans & RV's, the prices would go down to a more affordable range. But, as long as people still buy them, they'll figure we can still afford them if we want them bad enough, and prices WON'T go down.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Right now, I am going to do a video on this very subject, it is your comment that has provoked me to do so!

[@into_play3226]

Same with housing. If people would just stop buying houses, then us poor people could actually buy one!

It could be privately imported but there are no dealers in the US.

[@elizabethmack2562]

Where are the water tanks

[@VanlifewithAlan]

In a vehicle like this they are built either into the side walls - or - more commonly - the fresh water tank is under the forward facing bench. The waste tank is nearly always attached to the undercarriage of the vehicle.

[@Just_Johnnie]

Why the camper vans are cheaper in Europe? 🤔

[@chrisstevens8505]

Same reason cars have always been cheaper in Europe. Rip off overtaxed Britain.

[@fjai2755]

Ridiculous price.

"Tiny"?. It's huge compared to my Daihatsu.

[@lynnebarnes7680]

Made me laugh if he thinks that is a tiny campervan. It is huge.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

So what fully contained campervans are smaller?

[@czeshirecat6278]

Awful. Claustrophobic. I could get maybe 60 decent holidays for the same money with somebody else keeping it clean.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

You certainly could that is why it is best to rent if it is to be used only for a few weeks each year.

[@denisekenney6436]

Awful! That’s over $65 thousand american dollars!? Say what? There’s much more roomy campers out there for $65 grand!!! Not to mention cheap looking and no room what’s so ever!

[@martynjones8560]

You have to accept that campervans are rip-offs. There are self-builds for £5,000 which are much nicer.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Let me know where you can get the base vehicle for GBP5k and I will buy as many as I can afford.

No tv or rooftop ac,not even the basics overpriced garbage.
